What is "danny!"

Danny Swain, better known by his mononymous stage name Danny! , is an American recording artist and record producer.

Danny! is a former student of the Savannah College of Art & Design; he often wears a wool necktie and an Australian rounded crown boss-of-the-plains hat. Danny! rose to prominence shortly after becoming the flagship artist to The Roots' drummer Questlove's re-launched Okayplayer Records after years of being loosely affiliated with the parent company. Danny! was subsequently featured on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, where he premiered his debut single "Evil" backed by The Roots, and began a side career in voice acting, narrating the ESPN series Hey Rookie, Welcome To The NFL.

After joining Okayplayer Records Danny! released his album Payback, cited by Allmusic as one of the best hip-hop releases of the year. Ebony Magazine has listed Danny! among other rising artists in their "Leaders of the New School" piece, calling Danny! one of a handful of "innovators"; GQ would later reiterate the same regarding Danny!'s music production, which has since been placed in numerous television programs and radio advertisements.
