How was it to perform with the old school hip-hop artists?
Dane: It was hot. I always like to perform with all the old heads. Q. Would it be possible to do a concert with the new-school artists like Jay-Z, P. Diddy or some other artists from the new hip-hop era? Dane: Yeah, definitely. Doug E. Fresh and Slick [Rick] have been involved with doing concerts with the new-school artists, so if the opportunity was there, I would be glad to do it. Q. What are some of your new projects? Dane: I have a new album that I have been working on that is now finished. The album is a collaboration with 18 independent artists who have been trying to get into the business for years, so I gave them a chance on my album. Q. Who produced it? Dane: Mark “Boogie” Brown, RZA (from the Wu-Tang Clan), Kwame and Fresh Gordan. Q. How many tracks do you have on the album? Dane: There are 14 cuts. The album has not been released officially, but right now I am selling the album on my Web site, www.danadane.com, until I get some things worked out with some distribution compan
