   There have been ever used, either barbarous words, of no sense, lest they should disturb the imagination, or words of similitude, that may second and feed the imagination: and this was over as well in heathen charms, as in charms of later times. Francis Bacon, Natural History, №. 948.

   Alcyone he names amidst his pray’rs,
   Names as a charm against the waves and wind,
   Most in his mouth, and ever in his mind. Dryden.

   Recover strength, whene’er he fell. Jonathan Swift.

   But what avail her unexhausted stores,
   Her blooming mountains and her sunny shores,
   With all the gifts that heaven and earth impart,
   The smiles of nature, and the charms of art,
   While proud oppression in her vallies reigns,
   And tyranny usurps her happy plains? Addison.

   I, in mine own woe charm’d,
   Could not find death, where I did hear him groan;
   Nor feel him where he struck. William Shakespeare, Cymbeline.

   Tell me where thy strength does lie:
   Where the pow’r that charms us so,
   In thy soul, or in thy eye? Edmund Waller.

1. Charm

   Charm is the critically acclaimed third studio album from American rapper/record producer Danny! and the first of his records to be released commercially. As evidenced in the title, Charm was a huge milestone in Danny!'s career; after two unsuccessful attempts to make a name for himself in the music world, the record unanimously won rave reviews, culminating in the inclusion of the album on the 49th Annual Grammy Awards short list and, eventually, a record deal with Definitive Jux Records. Widely regarded as one of the strongest entries in his discography, Charm helped Danny! achieve a moderate buzz in the underground hip-hop community and become South Carolina's most heralded hip-hop artist to date. The song "Cafe Surreal" from this album would go on to become a signature tune in commercial bumpers for the MTV early morning video countdown program aMTV, being played since its pilot in early 2009, and was also featured in a 2013 ad campaign for Crown Royal.
