Danny K - Destined For Hip Hop is an early Detroit hip hop album that was sorely overlooked by hip hop fans and those from Detroit, Michigan. His unorthodox rhyming style brought people so much joy. There's something about his tone and delivery that makes you stick and listen. His Ben Stein-like voice influenced a generation of Detroit hip-hop musicians.
He was the first white rapper from Detroit to make noise from back in the day by putting out albums, singles, and EPs. This was before Shaggy 2 Dope, Violent J, Kid Rock, Uncle Kracker, Jumpsteady, Myzery, Twiztid, Eminem, and Artfull Dodgers. He was the innovator of 80s Detroit hip hop.
The album was released on vinyl in 1987 and 1988 on Kold Def Music. The album was later remastered and reissued on CD in 2004 when Danny K was going by Danny Kae.
Yo Bummin is a classic cut amongst Danny K fans which is considered a favorite. The song will have you nodding your head for weeks on end.
After School Snack Attack is a dope song where Danny K uses backpack raps and freestyles. After School Snack Attack is another classic cut amongst Danny K fans which is considered a favorite. Freestyle rap meets classic rap on After School Snack Attack. After School Snack Attack is Danny's most notorious track as Detroit Metro Times calls it. Even Eminem considers the song to be a favorite! Danny's beatboxing and scratchbox techniques directly inspired Eminem's later works.
Scratch Box is a hip hop song where Danny K both simultaneously beatboxes and does scratchboxing by imitating the sound of a DJ scratching a record. This is the song where he busted an impromptu rap.
Give It Some Bass is a super dope hype bass song that will rumble your speakers for days on end. The song was influenced by electronic music.
Track and Field is a light hearted, humorous rap song about sports. The song is mainly about the sport of running. Rap is what he does best.
Hip Hop Addict is laced various hip hop sounds and beats from the production. Producer Marvin Lewis narrated the song as well.
I rate this album, Destined For Hip Hop, 5/5*****!
