DN³

DN³ – The product of Chester, PA and RAHM (Reform and Healing Movement) Nation producer, artist, and DJ. In the late 90′s, DN ³ developed his craft working with Philadelphia’s now defunct “3rd Floor Productions” – a production company started by himself, Johnny Bang Bang (Equalizer Beats), and the late Dane “Black Asian” King. From there he worked with various up and coming local acts from Philadelphia. Projects include Musiq Soulchild’s demo, which made way for his debut album “Aijuswannasing”. DN³’s sound could be defined as a true school and soulful Hip-Hop experience. Influences in musical style have a great variety ranging from the late J. Dilla, Marley Marl, Pete Rock, Sergio Mendes, Madlib, Wes Montgomery, and many others.

Early production works include a timely collaboration with RAHM Nation founder, Ohene. Ohene’s highly acclaimed “The Rapademics” was DN³’s first executive produced and mixed project. This venture lead the way to working closely with other RAHM Nation artists such as Storyville, G Tha Chancellor, and Random. Random’s “The Call” was another project that was heavily touched by DN³’s soulful and grimy sound. Since then, DN³’s technical work, such as production, mixing, and quality control, has been a major force behind Random’s ever-growing position in the Hip Hop world.

“Mega Ran”, a most notable album from Random, has been one of DN³’s greatest accomplishments as a producer/engineer. The project was conceived from the minds of Hip-Hop and video game lovers such as Random and DN³. Production of the “Mega Ran” album included samples from the classic Capcom Sci-Fi action game, “Mega Man”. This tribute gained the attention of video gamers and Hip-Hop fans alike. Even Capcom (creators of Street Fighter II, Mega Man, and Resident Evil) endorsed the project for official licensing.
