My Friends Are Better Than Yours Featuring Dana Dane

Revered as a legendary Hip Hop artist, Dana Dane helped pioneer the rap genre in the early 1980s. His 1987 debut album, Dana Dane With Fame, was the first rap album by a solo Brooklyn artist to be certified gold, thanks in part to his landmark story raps on songs such as “Nightmares” and “Cinderfella Dana Dane.” The project also garnered him a Soul Train Music Award nomination for Best Album of the Year and celebrated its 37-year anniversary in 2024.

Beyond making music and performing, Dana Dane has expanded his reach into multimedia. He had a cameo appearance in Brown Sugar – 2001, playing himself and providing new music for the soundtrack. In 2003, Dana Dane launched his own Def Beat Entertainment media company and is a published author (Numbers– 2009; Dwaffes - 2017), and a screenwriter and film producer, whose credits include: Da Stuy: 5 Part Series – 2007; Passive Aggressive – 2010; Jesus – 2014 (Ocktober Film Festival, Indie Night Film Festival), all independent short film projects. He has also had recurring appearances on the TV One Unsung series.

Dana Dane’s Def Beat Entertainment (DBE) has produced “To Live and Die in Bedstuy” (limited series), Honor Among Thieves (film), and the highly anticipated psychological thriller “SIN” starring Lou Gossett Jr in post-production. Dana has multiple films in production and pre-production for 2024 -25, where he will serve as Producer/Line Producer among other job titles. Dana is uniquely qualified to create, produce, and deliver quality projects from conception to completion and anywhere in between.

Dana Dane’s robust creative output stems from his drive to consistently create. “One of the best feelings I’ve ever felt,” he reveals, “is bringing an idea from conception to completion.”

Most recently, Dana launched Fan A Cake Blow A Cake™ products during the COVID-19 pandemic in June of 2020. Fan A Cake is the best, new, sanitary, fun way to blow out any celebration cake candles. No more spreading germs while you share your cake with friends and family. Through this new venture, Dana Dane is on a mission to save the cake celebration tradition!

Dana Dane also spent more than six (6) years behind the microphone as an on-air personality for the Sirius Satellite Radio Backspin channel, now LL Cool J’s Rock the Bells Radio, and recently concluded an on-air personality stint for ScratchVision Radio’s where he created and produced the FullCircle show. In addition to his solo performances, Dana Dane also performs as a founding member of The Alumni, a super group consisting of Dana Dane, Kwame, Chubb Rock, Special Ed, Monie Love, and Greg Nice.
