Title: Dear Hip Hop: 20 Years Later
Artist: Dan-E-O
Label: Urbnet
Product Type: COMPACT DISCS
UPC: 724165395428
Genre: Rap/Hip Hop
Release Date: 2019-03-01
Number of Discs: 1
On November 5, 1996, Toronto-based label, Beat Factory released the seminal Canadian hip-hop compilation, Rap Essentials Volume One. Helping to further energize the already-established careers of such north-of-the-border lyrical heavyweights as Kardinal Offishall, Choclair, Ghetto Concept and Rascalz, the album is also credited for launching the career of Scarborough lyricist, Dan-E-O. With his featured single, "Dear Hip Hop", Dan-E-O immediately cemented himself as one of Canada's premier MCs. A quasi-love letter to the music and culture he adores, the Scam-produced single has stood the test of time and has garnered itself "classic" status in the annals of Canadian hip-hop history. With his fourth album, Dear Hip Hop: 20 Years Later, Dan-E-O both commemorates the two decade milestone of the release of his legendary debut and pays tribute to a long list of inspirations. "The artists I pay tribute to on this album by including them as guests helped pave the way for me to become the artist I am, " says Dan-E-O, "But they themselves have also enjoyed the last 20 years or so of invigorating hip-hop culture. So this new album is as much about celebrating Canadian hip-hop as a whole as it is about my first single. Really, I'm just a chapter in a much bigger story." Among the honoured guests on the album are URBNET label mate, Moka Only, "Northern Touch" legend, Thrust and the Godfather of Canadian hip-hop himself, Maestro Fresh Wes. They all appear on the posse cut and lead single, "League Of Legends", which is produced by Scam - reuniting Dan-E-O with the producer of "Dear Hip Hop" 20 years after it's release. Dear Hip Hop: 20 Years Later is a unique combination of re-mastered gems recorded during the mid-90's and brand new golden era-esque bangers, which include "Rap Essentials", an ode to the compilation that started it all with alumni, Mathematik and Deuce Deuce of Concrete Mob and a symbolic tribute to J Dilla entitled "Spit" featuring the late legend's brother, Illa J.
