***Dream, Extinguished*** is an [instrumental hip hop](/source/Instrumental_hip_hop) album by American producer/rapper [Danny!](/source/Danny!) It is the third and allegedly final installment in Danny's famed *Dream...* instrumental series and, like its predecessors, bears Danny's [anthroponym](/source/Anthroponym) on its cover—an ominous all-black sleeve—rather than his stage name in an effort to distinguish himself from Daniel Swain the record producer and Danny!, his rapper alter ego. Originally intended for an April release, *Dream, Extinguished'*s date was moved forward to January 29 to compensate for the unforeseen delay of *[And I Love H.E.R.](/source/And_I_Love_H.E.R.:_Original_Motion_Picture_Soundtrack)*, his fifth studio album.

Unlike the first two entries in the *Dream...* trilogy, a promotional tagline for *Dream, Extinguished* does not exist.

## Cancellation and subsequent release

A mere day before it was set to be released to the market in 2008, *Dream, Extinguished* was withdrawn by Danny himself, much to the surprise of anticipating fans. For reasons unknown Danny abandoned the entire project, leaving only a sparse quantity of promotional copies in U.S. circulation. As a result, *Dream, Extinguished* became the first and, to date, only title in [Danny's discography](/source/Danny!_discography) to not be released, making it the most coveted record in his extensive catalogue.

Rumors of the project being given a proper domestic release were confirmed in late May 2009 via Danny!'s website. The Japanese version of *Dream, Extinguished* made its first retail appearance on June 23, 2009, via [iTunes](/source/ITunes) and other major digital stores with a track listing (allegedly chronicling a year-long relationship that ended on sour terms) that closely, but not entirely, mirrors its American counterpart; three years later, the European version came out. It is not known when, if ever, *Dream, Extinguished* will be released in its original incarnation.

As all three of Danny!'s instrumental albums were dually promoted as beat tapes, a few of the tracks included on *Dream, Extinguished* were later utilized by rappers such as [Danny Brown](/source/Danny_Brown_(rapper)), [Lil B](/source/Lil_B) and [Wale](/source/Wale_(rapper)) on their respective projects long after its release.
