Young Dangerous Heart (Subtitle Album)
''Young Dangerous Heart'' is the first studio album by American rapper Subtitle. It was released on Gold Standard Laboratories on February 22, 2005. Production Initially, Subtitle created the other version of the album that he solely produced. In a 2020 interview, he recalled, "The dudes from Gold Standard weren't into it because it went all over the place, production-wise and they needed a more cohesive project to release on a semi-large scale." He released that version himself, under the title ''Lost Love Stays Lost''. For two thirds of ''Young Dangerous Heart'', he got an outside production. He recalled, "As a result, I wrote better songs and the outside production made me step my beat game up, which gave me some type of credibility as a producer of some sort." His main sonic influences for the album were Slum Village's '' Fan-Tas-Tic (Vol. 1)'', Sonic Youth's ''Washing Machine'', and Kanye West's '' College Dropout'', as well as the Mars Volta.
