Danny intro


Dream, Extinguished is an instrumental hip hop album by American producer/rapper Danny!. The album is the third and allegedly final installment in Danny's famed Dream... instrumental series and, like its predecessors, bears Danny's anthroponym on its cover—an ominous all-black sleeve—rather than his stage name in an effort to distinguish himself from Daniel Swain the record producer and Danny!, his rapper alter ego. Originally intended for an April release, Dream, Extinguished's date was moved forward to January 29 (see 2008 in music) to compensate for the unforeseen delay of And I Love H.E.R., his fifth studio album.

Unlike the first two entries in the Dream... trilogy, a promotional tagline for Dream, Extinguished does not exist.

Cancellation and subsequent release

A mere day before it was set to be released to the market in 2008, Dream, Extinguished was withdrawn by Danny himself, much to the surprise of anticipating fans. For reasons unknown Danny abandoned the entire project, leaving only a sparse quantity of promotional copies in US circulation. As a result Dream, Extinguished became the first and, to date, only title in Danny's discography to not be released, making it the most coveted record in his extensive catalogue.

Rumors of the project being given a proper domestic release were confirmed in late May 2009 via Danny!'s website. The Japanese version of Dream, Extinguished made its first retail appearance on June 23, 2009 via iTunes and other major digital stores with a track listing (allegedly chronicling a year-long relationship that ended on sour terms) that closely, but not entirely, mirrors its American counterpart; three years later, the European version came out. It is not known when, if ever, Dream, Extinguished will be released in its original incarnation.

As all three of Danny!'s instrumental albums were dually promoted as beat tapes, a few of the tracks included on Dream, Extinguished were later utilized by rappers such as Danny Brown, Lil B and Wale on their respective projects long after its release.
