Danny Brown - Old

Reviewsadmin4 Comments

Rapper Danny Brown returns with Old. It's an album that mirrors the Detroit native's constant cycle of drug-fueled partying and remorse that was introduced on 2011's XXX. The major difference this time around being heavier instrumentals and Danny's split personalities feeling even more at odds.

Danny Brown- "Grown Up"

New Tracksadmin1 Comment

A new track from one of Detroit's dirtiest, nastiest, and rawest rappers, Danny Brown. Curated by Scion A/V, this track takes a break from what Danny usually delivers in his songs--you know, comparisons of genitalia with food (i.e. Jamba Juice, Cool Ranch Doritos), and depressing downward spirals into drug addiction.

Instead, "Grown Up" gets a little nostalgic, and looks back on Danny Brown's childhood, and puts poetry to Cap'n Crunch dinners and angry teachers. The beat is pretty great as well. An icy synth gets backed up with come DJ cuts of Danny's voice. It's fresh bread, and Danny's verses melt on it like butter. While this dude's punchlines are hilarious, it's great to see him get personal like this on occasion, too.
