Danny Watts

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. 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
