Dan-e-o's first-ever Japanese release, "Dear Hip Hop (Return To Sender)" appears on the mixtape, "ReMakin'". Produced by Japan's DJ S-KY The Cookinjax, this track has Dan-e-o revisiting the story he started with his classic 1996 original.

Dear Hip Hop (Return To Sender)

Mixed by the award winning DJ Law, this is a small sample of what you'll find on Dan-e-o's new "Immortal" EP (available for free download now!) and upcoming "Inevitable" LP which will be available in stores and on iTunes worldwide through URBNET Records on 11/12/13.

It's been a long time coming. But it was inevitable that it would happen. Featuring guest performances by Red Rat, Chip Fu, Rich Kidd, SepTo, Brotha J, Dwayne Morgan and more, "Inevitable" is being heralded as Dan-e-o's best work to date. On this 14-track offering, Dan-e-o weaves vintage Golden-era-esque lyrical head bangers in and out with introspective soul songs to present a mature, witty and heartfelt hip-hop roller coaster ride of emotion. 

Collaborating with Monolith co-founder Charisma a.k.a. Skizzz, who handles the production of the album in its entirety, Dan-e-o has crafted a project that is as sensually soulful as it is "hit-'em-where-it-hurts" raw. Also including doses of rhythm and blues and dancehall reggae, "Inevitable" delivers on all points musically.

Lyrically, Dan-e-o has never been better. Unashamed to expose his vulnerable "I've been hurt" side while at the same time only too eager to unleash his ever-bragadocious "world's greatest MCisms", "Inevitable" presents Dan-e-o as both expert lyricist and soulful crooner all at once.

The multi-faceted rapper, singer, songwriter and actor is unflinching in his insistence that he is a force to be reckoned with in the worldwide musical landscape. His rightful place atop it, as it were, is "Inevitable".

Re-imagining a classic Michael Jackson banger is a huge music-making feat all by itself. But commemorating the women of Eritrea while the East African nation celebrates its independence (May 24) is a whole other undertaking!
