Rollin' wit Dana Dane is the third and final studio album by the American rapper Dana Dane. It was released on March 28, 1995[1] via Maverick Records.[2] Recording sessions took place at Track Record Studios in North Hollywood, Backroom Studios in Burbank and Milagro Sound Recorders in Glendale, with additional recording at Red Zone Studio in Burbank. Production was handled by DJ Battlecat, 3rd Rail and Smash Money.
The album debuted at number 42 on the US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums. It was supported with three singles: "Record Jock", "Rollin' wit Dane" and "Chester". Its lead single, "Record Jock", peaked at No. 61 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and No. 11 on the Hot Rap Songs. The album's second single, "Rollin' wit Dane", made it to No. 77 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and No. 25 on the Hot Rap Songs. The third single from the album, "Chester", a song about child sexual abuse,[3] was not charted.
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette wrote that Dane's "brand of softcore is imaginative at times, but suffers from fragile, home-grown synth beats that lack the verve of real instruments".[6]The Charlotte Observer thought that "Dana's trippin' on wax now, searching for a beat, and even Battlecat (the dude that produced Domino and 2Pac) couldn't help him regain his seat".[5]
