"Listen Closely Vol. 1: Rhymes & Beats" the new album from Daneja Mentale! is here! Be sure to look out for "Listen Closely Vol. 2: The Art of Expression". The 2nd and final... yes final chapter in the 2 part series. "Rhymes & Beats" is dedicated to one man's devoted love of Hip Hop. "The Art of Expression" displays emotions from happiness to anger. This is Daneja's most focused project to date. That doesn't mean that it comes without filler tracks, but they fill the album just right. Another thing that stands out here is the production from new producers. This is a first for Daneja (previous albums were co-produced by other producers). The tracks that make this CD an enjoyable listen are "Hustler's Withdrawal"- produced by Alexis Carrington, "Place Ya Bets" - produced by Rem, and "Spit Your Game" - produced by Daneja himself. But there's even more to enjoy on this 44 track, 2-CD set. Just kick back and play it loud!
