Da$h and Steiner explore how pivotal moments and signs can shape artistic paths and the value of embracing change and failure.

“Da$Htone is a Chicago 'organic hip-hop' collective that centers around the rhyming of main emcee Da$H, backed up by a smooth live band and soul singers as well as traditional DJ type hip-hop production touches. the sound of Da$Htone smolders...the players have a decidedly sultry, retro, almost 'quiet storm' vibe that provides a chill background for Da$H and a number of other emcees to show off their skill against. the varying flows riding old-school soul type playing create a tension that brings you in." -- The Modern Folk
