DANEJA MENTALE - REDEMPTION: HOME IS WHERE THE HATE IS PT. 2

IT'S FINALLY HERE!!

Originally planned as an EP in 2010, "Redemption..." was plagued with many delays due to computer crashes, lost verses, personal issues and changes in production personnel. The original plan, just as the idea of the unreleased "Listen Closely Vols. 1 & 2" was to have various producers and guests on staff. However many of the connections failed to respond or contribute any submissions for the project. Producers Alexis Carrington, Don Beezy, and Dr+ sent beats for the new album, but only one made it to the album. The one track submitted by Dr+ turned into the street banger "Go Hard" featuring Monsta Music emcee Nice. Daneja Mentale produces the rest of the album, switching up from street jams to songs of inspiration. Unlike the original "Home Is Where The Hate Is" of 2006, more guests jump on board. The album also features verses from J. Brown, Kaiji In Stereo, Syke Pachino (aka Syko Rah), Bone Breaker of Phasnicks, Chaundon (formally of Hall Of Justus/Justus League), JFK, Lu Chin Chen, singer Toya Brown, poet Mentally Armed, Royal Entry, Cosmo, and Sparqklipz. Songs like "The Dear Jane Letter", "Love Me Or Leave Me Alone" and "Lady" are self-explanatory. "Dreams Of Confusion", "Redemption" and "Visions" vent out Daneja's personal demons and inner feelings. "United" marks the first time in Def For Life/SME history where many of the key artists ever performed on one track together. Backed by a haunting and dark sped-up sample courtesy of Adele's "Hometown Glory"; all verses flow together as if they were written in the session. Daneja wraps up the album with "Full Circle". On this track Daneja speaks on issues of dealing with the ups and downs of trying to be discovered. Some tracks on here were originally from "Listen Closely" ("Get This Work", "Head To The Sky" and "Visions"). "Love Me Or Leave Me Alone" was slated for "The Common Ground Experience" but the lyrics came up missing until a year later. This album will be last of any newly recorded material from Daneja Mentale (At least that's what we've been told).
