about

"The Common Ground Experience" has arrived. The first album from Daneja Mentale in 4 years. The original 2 disc/44-track project "Listen Closely: Rhymes & Beats/The Art of Expression" was shelved due to lukewarm reviews. Some complained about the length of the albums and the lack of singles. This album, at first was just a secret between Daneja and J. Brown. "Listen Closely" (Vols. 1 & 2) were set to be the last albums of new material. According to J. Brown, this album wasn't to be recorded until new life experiences were faced in Daneja's personal life. Notably, something has changed during the process of this album because it can be heard here. The album touches on life ("Only Human"), love ("Baby"), pain ("Atmosphere") and of course Hip Hop. Daneja sounds very defensive on tracks such as "No Matter What Is Takes" and "Dumb Down". A stellar guest appearance by Ant B (of P.R.O.S.) on "Dumb Down" makes a lasting impression. Though Daneja steps a little out of his comfort zone by singing!!!!! (yikes!), he still manages to bring a hit with the emotionally bitter "Crash & Burn". Another change is less profainity (only 6 out of 14 tracks are explicit). There is more social commentary-laced material here, but it doesn't come off as preachy. "World Premiere" is a Hip Hop Tour De-Force, featuring great verses from L.E.G.A.C.Y. (of the Justus League), J. Brown, Cosmo (formerly of Renegunn) and Boogie Bamm (from 99+1 Productions). No hooks, just raw lyrics to go. Other notables are the two spoken word inserts, a R&B/Jazz-influenced instrumental ("Joby's Theme"), and the East Coast-inspired "Afterwords" featuring newcomer Kaiji In Stereo. Many people have previewed the album giving it a thumbs up. Some reviewed it as Daneja's best album since 2006's "Home Is Where The Hate Is".
