The Alchemist's new album, Russian Roulette , drops tomorrow. The concept of the album is that every track samples a different Russian song. Example? Here's the song "Flight Confirmation," with the excellent Danny Brown and Schoolboy Q, which samples... well, who knows, but the beat is great, and the duo both spit pretty hard. I've never been the biggest Alchemist fan but the roster — Fashawn, Action Bronson, the aforementioned Brown and Q — is top quality, and if this song is any indication, the project will be one of the most interesting the producer has ever come up [...]
Danny Brown seems to be popping up everywhere lately . His output has been consistently strong, this song included. Backed by a beat that would sound right at home on Heems' Nehru Jackets , Brown and Schoolboy Q lay verses about their favourite pastimes. It's a fun song, and will fill any Danny Brown craving you may be having. Look for it July 17th, on The Alchemist compilation album Russian Roulette . / via /
A stellar music video for the single Detroit beast Danny Brown dropped back in March . The song itself comes off a bit serious, chronicling Brown's younger days, but the video has fun with it by featuring this firecracker of a kid. He's going crazy. He's bringing the energy. Plus, he's hilariously dressed in a number of Danny's trademark outfits .
California rapper Ab-Soul's sophomore release is as varied as it is exciting. Strong flows, clever rhymes, and lots of personality. WATCH THE REVIEW
