Payback is rapper/producer Danny!'s seventh studio album, tentatively scheduled for a January 17th domestic release. Nicknamed "Project Lucky Seven" during its inception, Payback was recorded primarily during the summer of 2011 shortly after Where Is Danny?'s re-release via Interscope Records.
Payback marks the return of Danny! as narrator and concludes the trilogy of concept albums first announced during late 2005; like Charm and And I Love H.E.R. before it, the album's content serves as an extended metaphor for the current state of Danny!'s music career. In this case, the storyline of a criminal awaiting trial for breaking various laws in the name of survival parallels the politics surrounding the creation and development of Payback, practices in which Danny! has referred to as his "revenge" on a fickle music industry that he feels has largely overlooked him. UK-based webzine The Cypher was the first to break news on the completed record, calling Payback a "rounded and sonically perfect album" and subsequently giving it a rare five-star rating[1].

Payback (video game)
Payback is a videogame by Apex Designs. It was originally one fan's project to make an Amiga clone of Grand Theft Auto. In the author's own words, "every effort has been made to ensure that Payback beats GTA in every way."
The game was eventually expanded into a commercial release, and in 2002 Apex Designs announced plans to bring it to Microsoft Windows, Macintosh, and the Game Boy Advance (GBA). The Mac version was speedily released, but there is still no word on the Windows version's released date. A version for the GP2X handheld has since been released.
Despite the game being a clone of GTA, even copying car names such as the "Mundaneo", Rockstar has made no attempt to stop Apex Designs from publishing this game, or warn them about infringing on their copyrighted materials.
The GBA version was also finished, but Apex Designs couldn't initially find a publisher. After numerous failed attempts to get it published, it was not until late 2004 that DSI Games finally picked up the game.

Album
Albums of recorded music were developed in the early 20th century, first as books of individual 78rpm records, then from 1948 as vinyl LP records played at 33 1⁄3 rpm. Vinyl LPs are still issued, though in the 21st century albums sales have mostly focused on compact disc (CD) and MP3 formats. The audio cassette was a format used in the late 1970s through to the 1990s alongside vinyl.
An album may be recorded in a recording studio (fixed or mobile), in a concert venue, at home, in the field, or a mix of places. Recording may take a few hours to several years to complete, usually in several takes with different parts recorded separately, and then brought or "mixed" together. Recordings that are done in one take without overdubbing are termed "live", even when done in a studio. Studios are built to absorb sound, eliminating reverberation, so as to assist in mixing different takes; other locations, such as concert venues and some "live rooms", allow for reverberation, which creates a "live" sound. The majority of studio recordings contain an abundance of editing, sound effects, voice adjustments, etc. With modern recording technology, musicians can be recorded in separate rooms or at separate times while listening to the other parts using headphones; with each part recorded as a separate track.
