Toronto, ON – 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. Taking zero bars lightly and sparing no feelings, Dan takes on a past toxic personal relationship, calls out Kanye West, Donald Trump and Candace Owens and condemns Fox News and the Ku Klux Klan. The soundscape of “Vigilante” is described as “heavy neck-snapping boom bap”. The head-nodders are supplied by Toronto’s Big Sproxx (Freedom Writers) and frequent collaborator Charisma a.k.a. Skizzz (Monolith) as well as Japan’s S-KY THE COOKINJAX. Featured guests on “Vigilante” include Masta Ace, Saukrates and comedy superstar, Russell Peters.
“‘Vigilante’ represents the best 12 songs in the history of my catalogue…Period” – Dan-e-o
“Vigilante” is available on fire orange vinyl, CD, digital download and all digital streaming platforms via URBNET on May 10, 2024.
