DANEJA MENTALE - JUDGEMENT DAY

In 1994 Daneja returned with "Judgement Day" with more darker lyrics than the ones on "Where Tha F*** Am I?". Most of the subject matter on this set were based on suicide, depression, paranoria and anger. This sound would be a part of Daneja's musical persona until his next album "Akshunz N Wordz" would be released a year later. Unlike albums like "The Common Ground Experience", "Truth & Consequences and "Any Questionz"; "Judgement Day was filled with violence and was loosely based on Daneja's real-life fight with depression (This would fully be explained 11 years later on "Depression" from the double album "Dark Waters). Lighter songs such as "I'm Tha Daneja" and "Check" balanced the album, preventing it from becoming a full hardcore record. There's a little social commentary sprinkled here as well to round it off.

SWIFT - NEGATIVE ENVIRONMENT [single]

This underground hit was a result of bad timing for a recording session in 1998. Swift recorded this single as a fill-in session. Daneja Mentale was unable to record due a dental appointment which was scheduled earlier on the same day. However he was able to produce the track, but couldn't record any vocal. Swift was called in and recorded the classic song within a hour. There was little detail to whether Swift would place it on a full album release of keep it as a promo. So they both decided to promote it on Amazon.com. "Negative Environment" became an instant internet smash, shooting up to #2 on the Hip Hop charts. This song also sent a hint to his fans of his next musical move; Christian Rap. Since 1998, Swift has become more focused on family, Christianity and recently became a part the Georgia law enforcement. The question of whether Swift is still making music is unknown. His debut "Metamorphosis" was his first and last album on Def For Life Records. "Negative Environment" was also placed on the Soul Mafia Family's compilation "The Coming" in 2005.

DANEJA MENTALE - WHERE THA F*** AM I?

For those who think "Any Questionz" was Daneja Mentale's debut, guess again. In 1993 Daneja (previously known as D-Lyrical) decided to go by a new stage name and develop a darker sound. Enter "Where Tha F*** Am I?", an album of re-invention of many sorts. The post-golden age production was more layered (just as any Hip Hop album during the early 90's). The lyrics became harsher due to a brief beef with The Black Assassin Kartel; a group that Daneja was once a member. The album contained the infamous B.A.K. diss "Lost In Ya Lyrikz" and "Changed Identification", which explained the change from Daneja's former stage name. Other tracks such as "Good Ol' Dayz" and "Goin' Schizo" display the variety of changes on this (cassette) [note: Where Tha F*** Am I?" was never released on a compact disc].
