Too Opinionated Interview: Dan-e-o

Dan-e-o (Daniel Faraldo) is an award-winning Canadian Hip Hop artist, songwriter, and actor of Jamaican/Spanish descent.  The critically acclaimed emcee will drop his 6th solo album, “Vigilante” on May 10th on all major streaming platforms via URBNET.  Since Dan’s single, “Cleanse My Soul” dropped earlier this year, fans and critics alike have been eagerly waiting the artist’s new album. “Vigilante” is worth the wait! The album stays true to the social conscious of Dan-e-o. It is equal parts lyricism clinic and seething social commentary - from the graphic novel album cover to the unapologetic lyrical content. “Vigilante” harshly critiques social media misuse, talentless rappers, gun violence, anti-black racism, self-hatred, jealousy, and self-doubt. The rapper’s commitment to irradiating negativity and the injustices that surround us is made clear by the album’s title. “Vigilante” hits and hits hard and makes no apologies.  Dan-e-o’s successful 1996 debut single, “Dear Hip Hop” made the Hip Hop world sit up and pay attention. The artist has never looked back, earning the respect of fans, critics, and fellow artists. Not surprisingly, Dan-e-o leaves it all on the tracks. He is raw and unrepentant.  “Vigilante” is not for the faint of heart. The album is the veteran Toronto lyricist’s most provocative project to date. 

“Vigilante” is available on fire orange vinyl, CD, digital download and all digital streaming platforms via URBNET now!  https://daneo-urbnet.bandcamp.com/album/vigilante  Don’t miss Dan-e-o’s just released single and video “Like We” featuring 2-time Juno Award-winning Reggae artist, Blessed! https://s.disco.ac/rhwutkorfwek https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ee7EJOKGGKk   His single release, “Supreme” featuring Nish dropped on April 19th.
