Unlike his first homemade recordings, the latest album from rapper Dan "Height" Keech wasn't conceived in middle-school classrooms.

He was with friends — usual collaborators Emily Slaughter and Michael Freeland — and he was without distractions. "It was genuinely one of the best experiences of my life, like living in paradise" he said.
