Daniel Williams-Hashemi (born 26 November 1994), better known by his stage name DanimaL is an English rapper from Sheffield, England, influenced by the boombap sound and conscious style hip hop. Described as a "high-viz clad mentalist" by UKHH, DanimaL has released one EP and numerous singles. DanimaL achieved notoriety after releasing his somewhat controversial single "Adderall". Consequently, DanimaL signed to Sheffield-based Polar Opposites Records. He has featured on various well-known British hip hop YouTube channels including, but not limited to, GlobalFaction, JDZMedia, Ukhh and Northside Media TV. In 2019, he made a radio appearance on Itch FM which ranked 29th in the global old-school hip hop chart.

Artistry

DanimaL's style of rap is predominantly 'off-kilter' with a knack for using personal experiences and stories in a tongue-in-cheek format. His main influences in the UK scene come courtesy of Chester P, Skinnyman, Roots Manuva, Rodney P and Lowkey plus more of the pioneers of the UK hip hop sound and culture.
