Payback is rapper/producer Danny!'s seventh studio album, tentatively scheduled for a January 17th domestic release. Nicknamed "Project Lucky Seven" during its inception, Payback was recorded primarily during the summer of 2011 shortly after Where Is Danny?'s re-release via Interscope Records.
Payback marks the return of Danny! as narrator and concludes the trilogy of concept albums first announced during late 2005; like Charm and And I Love H.E.R. before it, the album's content serves as an extended metaphor for the current state of Danny!'s music career. In this case, the storyline of a criminal awaiting trial for breaking various laws in the name of survival parallels the politics surrounding the creation and development of Payback, practices in which Danny! has referred to as his "revenge" on a fickle music industry that he feels has largely overlooked him. UK-based webzine The Cypher was the first to break news on the completed record, calling Payback a "rounded and sonically perfect album" and subsequently giving it a rare five-star rating[1].
