Photos by Doug Bleggi - Special thanks to Chris Maguire Danny Brown has been blowing up on everyone's feed since he allegedly received unsolicited fellatio on stage from a female fan in Minneapolis on April 26. But in reality the Detroit rapper should have been getting mainstream notice for quite some time considering he's one of the dopest rappers on the planet. Whether or not the incident could be considered sexual assault or not is still one for debate - his opening act, the chipper blog-princess Kitty (formally Kitty [...]
Soul trap is probably the best self-coined sub-genre of recent memory. At his best, Tree can make music that feels like a soul trapped in hell. The beat here sounds like Pimp C trying to make beats for the first Capadonna record. Or what I hoped a David Banner record would sound like. Then there is Danny Brown, who has been getting all sorts of headlines of late. If you don't think that's a pun, you haven't been reading this site for very long. Back to business in an Acura, immaculate in his Acura. I would pay good [...]
Chicago emcee Tremaine Johnson, AKA Tree , delivers another piece of his forthcoming album, Sunday School II: When Church Lets Out , due out for release on May 15th via Creative Control/Closed Sessions. "No Faces" not only shows off his signature scruffy flow and soft spot for bumpy and broiling "SoulTrap" beats, but also features a manic, loose-lipped verse from none other than Danny Brown . Listen to the collaboration below.
The Chi meets the D on the latest single from rapper-producer Tree 's upcoming album, Sunday School II: When Church Lets Out . He's teamed up with none other than Danny Brown , who sounds fantastic over the soul-infused instrumental. Brown is also a choice complement to Tree's throaty, weathered vocals and, really, I'm just glad this happened before everyone was all like, "Why haven't these collaborated yet?!" Well, they have, and it's great. Listen to "No Faces" below and maybe you, too, can become immaculate with the spatula. SSII drops May 15 [...]
When a professional athlete starts getting attention for off-the-field stuff, they say that the only way to silence it all is by winning. Same goes for music. At the end of the day, a musician's job is to provide good music and entertainment. The other shit is all debatable, and will be until the end [...]
Two Midwest titans, Tree and Danny Brown, link for the latest leak from Sunday School 2. It's a Chicago/Detroit face off called "No Faces." Face the truth: this is crazy. Tree's Sunday School 2 drops next week (May 15) via Closed Sessions and Creative Control. The post Tree f/ Danny Brown - No Faces appeared first on Fake Shore Drive .
Pulling in heavy horns and low-hum beats, Constrobuz gives Mr. Muthafuckin' eXquire a sample worth his thicker-than-most verses on "Noble Drew Ali." The song comes from his upcoming mixtape Kimset , which will be featuring the likes of Danny Brown , Flatbush Zombies , Heron, and more. Check out the mix below and watch out for the release of Kimset in the near future.
Fresh off an impressive first quarter, which included collaborations with Danny Brown and Joey Bada$$ , along wit h the Adrift mixtape , wunderkind producer Harry Fraud returns with his Scion A/V-sanctioned EP, High Tide . The five-track effort includes contributions from Action Bronson and French Montana ( "Mean" ), Odd Future's Earl Sweatshirt and RiFF RaFF (the uber-surreal "Yacht Lash" ), Smoke DZA, Tech N9ne, and more. Download it here. " High Tide is a project that I've been dreaming up for a long time," Fraud said in a statement. [...]
If "keeping it real" still matters at all in hip-hop, Kitty (formerly Pryde) ceremoniously dismantled the notion that she doesn't this week when she published a mini-treatise on the complicated politics of sexual assault. Yet regardless of her consistently brainy web engagement, she continues to be regarded as merely a meme. Before her piece hit the web, we had plans to talk to her about exactly that: Her status as a serious rapper and how she got to be where she is, despite a lot of naysaying. Read our interview below, where she and I discuss her friendship [...]

18 year old, Baton Rouge producer, suicideyear , has been blowing up my Twitter timeline all week. After releasing his debut mixtape, Japan , my internet/meme/nerd world (whatever Trees calls it), went apeshit. Since most JTTS contributors and readers are still stressing about sour (2013) Wu Tang news (go figure), I can see y'all ain't ready, but personally I can say that Japan knocks and this kid will undoubtedly shine. If you're as high as me, join me in listening, as we ascend beyond the tallest of cloud mountains. Meet your angelic concubines and eat more [...]
Before he disappeared into the bottom of the glass he was sipping from, I got a text from Trees stating he was ready to "bury" some of the recent sentiments expressed regarding the Danny Brown on-stage blowjob incident in Minneapolis a few days back. In the meantime, Kitty formerly-known-as Pryde, who's opening for Danny on this tour (this Thursday at the Middle East , so JK tells me), [...]
Such is the curse of the esoteric, Cargo is pretty sparsely populated upon entry into the perfectly irrational world of Nashville lo-fi godfather R Stevie Moore . The deactivated confetti cannon shan't go spurting its load tonight although explosive onstage antics are seemingly sure to ensue, guitarist J.R. Thomason swigging liberally from Moore's bottle of red as he fiddles about with bits and pieces of obstreperous machinery. Naturally, this necessarily wacko scene is set to the soundtrack of James Chance's unapologetically demented Contort Yourself. And it's as its squiggly improv abates that Moore emerges in fairly unflattering [...]
Danny Brown has confirmed he'll be heading to London next month for a one-off show. The rapper is set to play Scala on June 11th, with special guests set to support him (maybe Action Bronson ? That would be cool...). It's likely that recent on-stage antics have contributed to the choice of venue here... Tickets are price at £16 and can be bought from the offical Scala website . If you fancy hearing new material from Mr. Brown, check out ' Dope Song ' [...]
Bruiser Brigade rapper, Danny Brown is set for a headline London show next month. The hip-hop star, recently centre of some on-stage controversy , will play the capital's Scala venue on 11 June - with "special guests" to be confirmed. Tickets for the gig are priced at £16 and available here . Watch his video for 'Grown Up' below.
This is a complicated story to tell. Misogyny, misandry, rape, consent, slut shaming, and victim blaming are not exactly pleasant topics of discussion- but this week they were all brought to the ...

I know I am posting a lot about Charli XCX lately but she has me excited about pop music again. This was one of my favourite tracks off her album and Detroit's very own Danny Brown dropped a verse that made it just that much better.

Danny Brown and Kitty (née Pryde) have been on the road together for the Old And Reckless Tour for about a week. It was reported that at their Minneapolis date last Friday a female attendee hopped on stage, pulled down Brown's pants, and briefly attempted to perform oral sex on the rapper. It's been commented on with both shock and awe. Kendrick Lamar tweeted excitedly at Brown, while Minneapolis' alt-weekly CityPages wrote negatively about the incident. When you consider Brown's devil-may-care persona and how often and virulently he raps about performing oral [...]
Ladies, and gentleman, On Friday night in Minnepolis, Danny Brown got head from some random fan (she was a female, I think) while on stage. While having this act performed on Danny Brown's unit, he still managed to keep rapping, and as he tweeted (before he deleted it) to Kendrick Lamar saying he didn't miss a bar. Jacked from the Huffington Post: Brown was playing the city's Triple Rock Social Club as part of The Old & Reckless tour when he [...]
It is almost surreal to imagine, let alone witness, but it has been reported that Detroit based rapper Danny Brown scored himself a a blow job during his set in Minneapolis, MN on the weekend. This hilariously shocking news is simply amplified in humour by the fact that Brown managed to continue reforming whilst getting head. Obviously this guy is pro at what he does. Fellow rapper Kendrick Lamar found it hard to believe as well and tweeted Brown after hearing of this on-stage debauchery. [...]
