 Notes  
     New York-born rap singer Dana Dane combined light-hearted rap with a love
     of fashion. While his recordings, including "Cinderfella Dana Dane", "A
     Little Bit Of Dane Tonight", and "Tales From The Dane Side", established
     him as a powerful rapper, his tastes in clothing inspired him to open IV
     Plai Boutique. Although the shop has since closed, Dane continued to
     attract attention with his unique outfits.
     Raised in the Walt Whitman housing project in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, Dane
     first displayed his talents as a member of a rap group, Kongol Crew, which
     he formed with High School of Music and Arts classmate Slick Rick.
     Launching his solo career after graduating from high school, Dane signed
     with the Profile record label in 1985. While his debut single, "Nightmare",
     offered hints of his talents, Dane broke through commercially with his
     first full-length album, "Dana Dane With Fame", in 1987.
     The success of the album, which achieved gold record status, was matched by
     subsequent albums "Dana Dane 4 Ever" in 1990 and "Rollin' Wit Dane" in
     1995. During a late-90's interview, Dane described his musical approach as
     'writing stories that have chronological depth as well as moral values'.
     "Dana Dane With Fame", the New Yorker's debut album, is a classic of its
     kind. Occasionally, this 1987 release touches on social issues, but for the
     most part, "Dana Dane With Fame" (which was produced by Hurby Luv Bug)
     doesn't take itself too seriously. Dane's greatest asset is his sense of
     humor, and the East Coast MC is wildly entertaining on goofy, nutty items
     like "Nightmares", "Love At First Sight", and the hit single "Cinderfella
     Dana Dane".
     But while social commentary isn't the album's main focus, Dane isn't
     oblivious to the social problems that plague a major city like New York. On
     "Delancey Street" (another major hit), Dane raps about three women trying
     to rob him at gunpoint on Manhattan's Lower East Side. The dark-humored
     tune manages to be funny and disturbing at the same time; even when he's
     rapping about urban crime, Dane maintains the silliness that made him so
     endearing.
     "Delancey Street" was a song that New Yorkers had no problem relating to in
     the '80s; back then, the area of Delancey Street near the Williamsburg
     Bridge was infamous for its high crime rate (although much of Manhattan's
     Lower East Side became a lot safer in the '90s, thanks to Mayor Rudy
     Giuliani's war on crime). "Dana Dane With Fame" isn't the MC's only
     worthwhile album, but it is definitely his best and most essential.
