Danny! , also known as D. Swain , is an American rapper, producer and composer. In a five-year period, he has self-released twelve albums, which include five full-length albums, an EP , three instrumental albums and even a greatest hits compilation.
Though signed to Definitive Jux in early 2007, the self-proclaimed "prolific producer/MC " never released an album with the label. Instead, selected tracks from Danny!'s discography—all previously released on his vanity Badenov Records/1911 Music imprint—have been made available as a free download on Def Jux's revamped website, which boasts an extensive digital download section. A single titled "Just Friends " came out in March 2009 and is Danny!'s first, and to date only, official Def Jux release.[ 1]
The artist would later sign to Interscope Records to little fanfare, in the wake of Where Is Danny? ' s success in 2010. He left Interscope the following year and signed to the re-launched Okayplayer Records in 2012, releasing Payback on September 25. In 2016 he announced a new album, The Book of Daniel , but it has not been released.
