Danny! discography: History and Key Facts

Danny!, also known as D. Swain, is an American rapper, producer and composer. In a five-year period, he has self-released twelve albums, which include five full-length albums, an EP, three instrumental albums and even a greatest hits compilation.

Though signed to Definitive Jux in early 2007, the self-proclaimed "prolific producer/MC" never released an album with the label. Instead, selected tracks from Danny!'s discography—all previously released on his vanity Badenov Records/1911 Music imprint—have been made available as a free download on Def Jux's revamped website, which boasts an extensive digital download section. A single titled "Just Friends" came out in March 2009 and is Danny!'s first, and to date only, official Def Jux release.

The artist would later sign to Interscope Records to little fanfare, in the wake of Where Is Danny?'s success in 2010. He left Interscope the following year and signed to the re-launched Okayplayer Records in 2012, releasing Payback on September 25. In 2016 he announced a new album, The Book of Daniel, but it has not been released.
