Danny Watts is a rapper whose rhymes are lyrical and reflective, grounded in everyday struggles. The Houston, Texas native caught a break when he contacted
Jonwayne through social media and was invited to work with the producer and fellow rapper. Insisting that they meet in the flesh,
Wayne was visited at his Los Angeles home base by
Watts, who was subsequently showcased on "Rainbow," a track off
Rap Album Two -- the first release on
Wayne's Authors Recording Company.
Watts' debut album
Black Boy Meets World, produced by
Wayne, arrived seven months later as Authors' second title. The day after it was issued,
Watts quit his job in retail and went on an extensive U.S. tour as
Wayne's opening act. ~ Andy Kellman
