Thank You Trina (Blue Magic edition)
Thank You Trina (Blue Magic edition) by Dan-O Thank you Trina for being there at a very weird time in my life. In 1999 I heard Trina’s voice for the first time on one of the most outlandishly sexual verses by any female MC. On the smash hit single Nann Nigga Trick Daddy goes crazy…

Song of The Year-Slapbox by Conway The Machine produced by Daringer
Song of The Year-Slapbox by Conway The Machine produced by Daringer by Dan-O You can’t just call him Conway. He’s The Machine for a reason. When the beat comes on and his mouth starts it feels 100% organic like no pen has been picked up no plans have been made(This isn’t just how he sounds…

Song of the year-Ace by Noname featuring Smino & Saba
Song of the year-Ace by Noname featuring Smino & Saba by Dan-O I really do regret not listening to Smino-Blkswn earlier. I missed out on the countless relistens and an orator who seems to have neo-soul finger snap rhythm resonating from the depths of his soul. Every second of a song with Smino on…

Sample Snitch: The exciting G Funk perfection of All Eyez On Me
Sample Snitch: The exciting G Funk perfection of All Eyez On Me by Dan-O All Eyez On Me is the best double album in the history of hip hop. That is not a hot take. If you listen very carefully it is not the dark foreboding cryptic record Makaveli is perceived to be. It is…

Song of The Year-Recognize by Bun-B featuring TI & Big K.R.I.T. produced by Big K.R.I.T.
Song of The Year-Recognize by Bun-B featuring TI & Big K.R.I.T. produced by Big K.R.I.T. by Dan-O I’ve made the argument that the pop sphere is larger than it has ever been due to the ability to find anything. The gatekeeper role of radio and upper level music executives isn’t anywhere near as important…but I’m willing…

Mixtape Review-4 Respect by Kevin Gates & Youngboy Never Broke Again
Mixtape review-4 Respect by Kevin Gates & Youngboy Never Broke Again by Dan-O Hip hop people say the same thing to each other about Kevin Gates. We look at each other with a head scratchers facial expression and say “I think he’d be one of the best rappers in the world if he wasn’t…crazy.” Anyone who heard…

#Bandcampgold-Nostrum Grocers-Self-titled
#Bandcampgold-Nostrum Grocers-Self-titled by Dan-O Milo seems like a good dude. He lives in Maine with me and when Sorry To Bother You came here he bought out a showing so people could feel Boots Riley for the first time(get that feeling underground has had for years). The news made me feel bad that I don’t listen to…

Song of The Year-Play by Big Freedia featuring Goldiie
Song of The Year-Play by Big Freedia featuring Goldiie by Dan-O When I heard the album Just Be Free in 2014 I must have listened to it the way the kids look at the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park (early part of the movie). Living in Maine I’m sure I expressed wide -eyed tap- the-glass confusion…

#Bandcampgold-Albums I Bought from The Mello Music Group sale by Dan-O My favorite underground label in the world had a sale. I was notified that every album they had put out was available on Bandcamp for $4.99. I cracked my knuckles and started surfing, sampling, adding the interesting albums to my cart. I love rap…
