Immortal and Inevitable were released on 9/10 and 11/12/13 respectively.
Entirely produced by follow Monolith cohort, Charisma a.k.a. Skizzz, both the
EP and the follow-up album highlight Dan-e-o’s growth as a songwriter and
potent lyricist.

With an incredible range of heartfelt love songs that expose
his vulnerable side to the party anthems and street bangers that further
showcase his impeccable vocabulary and rhyming skills, Inevitable truly captures Dan-e-o in his prime.

Nevertheless, in November 2014, Dan-e-o went back to his
roots by releasing the seminal album, Dear
Hip Hop, exclusively on vinyl through France’s Sergent Records. Comprised
of tracks written and recorded during the “boom bap” heyday of the 90’s,
Dan e-o’s 4th official album is a true gem in today’s hip-hop world.
It was re-released by URBNET as a “20th Anniversary” deluxe edition
album entitled Dear Hip Hop: 20 Years Later in October of 2017. Stay tuned...
