Song of The Year-Survivor by Mary J Blige
Song of The Year-Survivor by Mary J Blige by Dan-O Mary will always have a special place in my heart. When I was away from home for the first time (out of country) in the Army she had one of the three albums I needed in order to survive (D’Angelo-Voodoo, 2pac-Makaveli, Mary-My Life). That was […]

Mixtape Review-Doobie Brothaz by Jackie Chain & ST 2 Lettaz

Mixtape Review-Tony by King Louie
Mixtape Review-Tony by King Louie by Dan-O Most subgenres start out as a descriptive insult. Swag rap is the rule not the exception. While it’s absolutely true that swag is a horribly annoying term that got beaten into the soil a few years ago the music is still pretty astonishing. Fans of the way hip […]

Song Review-Mandela by Cyhi The Prynce produced by Sekou Muhammed & TEC Beatz
Song Review-Mandela by Cyhi The Prynce produced by Sekou Muhammed & TEC Beatz by Dan-O Cyhi The Prynce is the kind of talent that can be painful. The wit that staggers with lines like “and I don’t need a beat cause I can easily speak to these N’s through the frequencies…” can’t help but get […]
