Thirty-plus years in and Billy Danze has not recalibrated his coordinates. "No Losses" is the fourth single ahead of his solo album "The Answer," produced by Too Busy, and it functions exactly as advertised: no concessions, no reach, no adjustment for an era that would have him do otherwise. Danze's delivery carries the authority of someone who has earned every bar twice over – his cadence, his attack, his unflinching directness all intact. As one half of M.O.P. he built an entire aesthetic on controlled aggression married to street principle, and this single draws from that same well. The "The Answer" album arrives imminently, and the assembled feature list – Lil Fame, Ghostface Killah, Jadakiss, Pharoahe Monch, Redman, Evidence, Styles P, Inspectah Deck among others – reads like a statement of allegiance to an era and an ethos. For those waiting: it won't be long now.
