Denny's by Calcei

Denny’s is the spot that people find themselves in when there’s nowhere else to go. When it’s early in the morning and nothing else is open. When you’re hung over, don’t feel like going home to face your parents, family, significant other, or an empty apartment...you end up at Denny’s. It’s not that you actually like the food or ambiance; you just have no other choices.
NorCal emcee, by way of Detroit, Calcei’s eighth album “Denny's'' is the perfect metaphor for life today: stuck in a rut; in purgatory; a holding pattern, but still trying to find humor and light in the darkness.
Calcei’s frequent collaborator, Detroit beat maker Olos, supplies part of the soundscape on “Denny’s”, while the rest of his beats are provided by first-time sonic partners.
Florida producer Beatnick Classic, as well as Monplacebo, also from Florida by way of Queens, NY, provide their brand of boom bap freshness. Michigan maestro Mike E. Eyebrowz also adds his production talents to the project, along with North Carolina super producer kingCameelioSalamander’s crispy beats.
Calcei once again teams up with the UK’s Pimpernal Jones, who lays down dope cuts and scratches throughout the album, in addition to mixing and mastering the project.
Hopefully we won’t be stuck at Denny’s forever, but we might as well try to enjoy it while we’re there.
