Old (2013)




Another one for New-Music-Monday...

Danny Brown.....THIS fuckin guy, holy shit. I actually have not heard his previous proper album, "XXX", but I sure as hell will be getting it now. I'd only actually ever heard Danny Brown's random verses on other rappers' albums, up to this point, most notable, on a handful of Mr. Muthafuckin eXXquire, Action Bronson and A$AP Rocky songs. I always loved his random tid-bits, particularly because of his distinguishable flow and cadence, in addition to the fact that he is downright hilarious and sounds like he could be a supervillain from the Batman television show in the 60s. 

I guess I was slightly reluctant to listen to a Danny Brown solo record at the fear of it being overkill or even monotonous to hear his particular "flavor" for an entire 45 minute-long duration. I was wrong! He even gets slightly laid back on certain tracks. Obviously still completely wild on others though. Daniel collaborates with awesome musicans and fellow rappers, including Purity Ring and A$AP and just delivers a solid album from start to finish. This dude is hilarious and awesome. If you're looking for some super thought-provoking hip-hop album, this isn't the one, get Immortal Technique - Revolutionary Pt. 1, if that's what you're looking for. If you're in search of a new, original sounding, fun rap maniac, though, check out this crazy guy.
