Scion/AV has enlisted the genius that is Danny Brown for "Grown Up". The track is all about Danny's childhood, with some throwback production, the track feels like something that came out of the heyday of Naughty By Nature. Listen below for some more proof why the 2012 XXL Freshman is here to stay. Download Danny Brown: "Grown Up" via Scion/AV
Peep Danny Brown's attempt at a hit single. If you haven't heard the album, XXX , I highly recommend. Been on repeat for weeks. Most Bruiser Brigade shit I've heard recently is good too. Dopehead's Plaid Palm Trees has gotten its share of spins. But yo, this baked potato is taking forever in the microwave.

Detroit native Skylar Tait AKA SKYWLKR made his name last year by producing the bulk of Danny Brown’s critically acclaimed album XXX. Recently named one of the FADER’s 5 producers to watch in 2012, Sky crafts blunted, psychedelic beats that sound like nothing else. In an interview conducted for our XXX making-of feature, SKY discusses his metal background, his process and who he wants to work with. What was the first rap song you heard? DMX’s “Ruff Ryders Anthem.” [...]
Today marks the first day of Dilla month. Facebook, twitter, and any popular blog that you may be venturing out to check are also trying to put up their sickest tribute post ever. Even last year, Stones Throw had a video contest, and some of the participants made their own 'Dilla Tribute' to his songs . At this point in time, EVERYONE has either heard about him, or finally know who this famous producer is. Unfortunately, because of his untimely demise is the part of the reason why many (like myself, admittedly) knows of the [...]
I should preface this list with a warning: I hate these things. End of year lists can sometimes bring out the worst in us as music lovers, with comparisons, rigidity, judgement and hollow merits. That said, I’ve compiled a list of my top five favorite things about hip hop in 2011 very much tailored around what I privilege and prefer in my rap music. I don’t have the time or will to engross myself in all the different types of rap music that are created in a given year. I like my rap to be somewhat [...]
I've written about the immensely talented Danny Brown a few times on this site and it looks like I'll be writing about him pretty frequently around here, thanks to the constant stream of new music and videos he keeps hurling out into the world. Rolling Stone released his latest video yesterday. It's called "Monopoly" and is from "XXX," one of my favorite records of 2011. The video getting premiered by the magazine shows the wide range of people interested in his music, from the underground to the mainstream, and even Fools Gold , who released [...]

Directed by ASAP Rocky, we finally get visuals for Danny's ode to weed smoking off his very awesome and very free XXX Mixtape/Album/FreEP/Project . drink the kool aid:
Quelle Chris - Shotgun & Sleek Rifle Fat Beats: 2011 There is no denying I’m a sucker for the type of rap Shotgun & Sleek Rifle encompasses. That smoked out unhinged punk-hop grounded on obscure loops and dusty drums that provide more of a pulse than a knock. Murky decapitated funk oozes out of songs, as guitar riffs flail comfortably next to forgotten soul tracks that are looped up with little to no sample chop or mix-down. Inside of this intoxicating mess is Quelle Chris spittin’ fly rhymes that [...]

Danny Brown is my pick for breakout rapper of 2011, and I am completely biased. I first met Danny in 2008 when he still wore jeans a few sizes too big and still had braids. But he was always the weirdo [...]
The magic of Danny Brown’s music is the balance between comedy and something totally sinister. Here he calls that approach "crackin' but factin'"—cracking jokes but telling the truth, a sort of smile-so-I-don't-cry approach to living ... read more
