The Short Kuts Show presents Tales From the Dark Side b/w Tales From the ‘Hood (True & Terrifying Tales of the Supernatural, the Unnatural, and the Actual-Factual-Natural) (Featuring our celebrity storyteller, hip-hop artist, Dana Dane)—Dana Dane is a pioneering hip-hop artist renowned for his vivid storytelling and humorous lyrics that captured the essence of urban life in the 1980s. Hailing from Brooklyn, he became a standout in the hip-hop scene with his hit single “Cinderfella Dana Dane,” a clever twist on the classic Cinderella tale, told through the lens of hip-hop culture.
