Born to ░░ military parents in the summer of 1983, Danny Swain never had enough time ░░ to grow roots in any particular area. With his family crisscrossing the ░░ country, the scenery was always changing and so were Swain's friends. The ░░ only long-term relationship he was able to maintain was the one he had ░░ with music. His mother supported her son's interests, buying him music ░░ equipment every Christmas. By 1998 he was a serious beat-maker and ░░ writing rhymes became his next conquest. ░░ ░░ South Carolinian MC Danny Swain, also known as Danny!, received a ░░ relative amount of local notoriety after the release of his first record, ░░ The College Kicked-Out, which hit the scene ten months after the release ░░ of Kanye West's critically acclaimed debut, The College Dropout. Wanting ░░ to show the world that he was more than just a one-time act, Danny! ░░ issued his second album, F.O.O.D. (which stands for Finding Out Our ░░ Destination), in 2005. In F.O.O.D., the MC is eager to prove his own ░░ abilities, both as a rapper and as a producer, and so a large number of ░░ the songs address this, bragging about verbal superiority, sexual ░░ prowess, originality, and dedication to making music. ░░ ░░ Typical hip-hop themes, it's true, but because Danny! has the ability to ░░ also not take himself seriously, none of this comes across as overbearing ░░ or pompous. Rather, it's more like a young man's exaggerations of the ░░ facts when he's telling his friends what happened to him. That's what ░░ Danny! is, actually, a storyteller, and a pretty good one, too. His easy ░░ approach to his rhymes makes them seem conversational, almost effortless ░░ (though perhaps some of this comes from the fact that he spends an ░░ inordinate amount of time actually speaking in his songs), and for the ░░ most part his lyrics are pretty good ("Sometimes I get to ░░ wondering/Brainstorming and thundering, lightning and rain/Inside of the ░░ mind of D. Swain") and creative. ░░ ░░ Musically, Danny! follows the lead of 9th Wonder and other Carolinian ░░ producers, with sped-up, melodically strong soul-sample intros that turn ░░ into eight-bar loops, which keep things simple and generally nice. His ░░ pattern does get repetitive throughout the 18-song record, and he does ░░ have a few lines that try a little too hard and come up short ("It ░░ smelled worse than sweaty armpits," "I walked softly so the manager would ░░ not toss me"), but overall F.O.O.D. does a good job of showing off the ░░ talent and potential of the young MC. ░░ ░░█ ░░███ ░█ ░░░░██ █▓█ ████░ ░░░░░██ y o o v e e y o o █████ █████ ░░░░░░██ g o t t h e ▒████░ ██▒▒██ ░░░░░░░█ ░ ██▓██ ▓█▒██ ░░░░░░░█ ███ ███ ███ ███ ███ ████ ▒▓███ ▒███ ░░░░░░░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ █░█ █░█ ░███████ ████░ ░███ ░░░░░░░█ ░███░███░█ █░███░███ █████████▒ █████ ██ ░░░░░░░█ ░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ ░░░█ ██████████████ █████ █ ░░░░░░██ ░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ ░█ ██████████████████ ████▓ ░░░░░██ ░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ ░█ ████████████████████▒ ░░░░██ ░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ ░█ ▓██████▒▒▒▒███████░ ░░░██ ░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ ░█ ▓█████▒███████████ ░░░█ ░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ ░█ █████▒▒░████████ ░░░█ ░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ ░█ ██▓██▒██▓███▒ ░░░█ ░█ ░█ █░█ █░█ ░░░█ ██████████ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ░░░█ ░█ ░█ █░███░█ ░███ ▒███████ /─────────────────────────\ ░░░██ ███ ░| learned from vets |░ ░░░░██ ████ ░| and they |░ ░░░░░██ █████ ░| ain't pet doctors |░ ░░░░░░███ ████▒ \─────────────────────────/ ░░░░░░░▓▓█████████████▒ ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ https://www.qobuz.com/ie-en/album/food-danny/fz4hm76ytwsda
