danny from sobranteDanny from Sobrante comes from the all-too-familiar-and-heavily-exploited struggles of inner-city life. Born and raised in Oakland, Ca in the notorious Sobrante Park neighborhood (hence the name Danny from Sobrante) DFS is no stranger to all of the negative elements that continue to systematize young black males. He has been in and out of jail since 15, has done probably everything illegal you can think of to get ahead financially (and some things you haven't thought of too), and is no stranger to the violence that is virtually commonplace in establishing a reputable name growing up in the harder parts of Oakland. Furthermore, contrary to the stereotypes that may be attached to any individual described in the above stated, DFS has a subtle air and keen business sense. His cool demeanor and cadence in conversation eludes confidence and precise thinking while decision making. DFS is committed to making quality music and maximizing his brand. "It's somewhat like getting money in the streets. You are a reflection of your product. People respect good business." he states about comparing the street hustle to the music business. The majority of his songs embody the essence of hustling yet the strength of the beats makes you have to move when they come on. Then the catchiness of the hooks pull you in and force you to want to repeat it. DFS feels his songs are an attempt to grab listeners and prepare then for the depth of what is to follow about the harsh realities of growing up in the inner-city, hustling, doing time, dealing with women, and the reasoning behind the rationale. youtubeComments are closed.
