Danny Brown back in his tripped out, pen & pixellated domain of late night, downtown drug chic antics. Ratchet’y women and designer labels among the distorted 808 thump of this XXX bonus cut.
“WitIt” (Produced by Skywlkr)

BONUS STYLE: MPSD-Brown in the video to “Radio Song.” Big up the homie Skywlkr.
Insightful reads, especially if you’ve been dwelling under a rock (or, on it…ha!) and still haven’t opened your fucking ears to rap outside of either your iPOD’s bitterly elitist and regressive, “yo 90′s 90′s 90′s yo yo yo rap rappity rap”-Golden-Era-ideological-regurgitation-in-playlist-form, or the pedophile scum which is dug up and played on some corny daytime radio station. But let’s be honest, you wouldn’t be here if either of the aforementioned was your m.o. Read: Danny Brown Coming From Behind (ayo?) Read: Kendrick Lamar Black Hippy: A View From The Center You know what also garners satisfying results? Creating (and releasing) an album like XXX. Oh, you know about that already? Fine, but did you ever want to know what was going through Brown’s mind to make him start penning a song like “Die Like A Rockstar???” Here’s the better-late-posting-than-never moment. In January, our homeboy, Aaron Matthews of the ever-eloquent Passion Of The Weiss (amongst a handful of other things…he stays busy), compiled a song-by-song breakdown of 2011′s most-celebrated, progressive rap album; with short firsthand blurbs from the folks who were creatively involved (the rapper and the producers). Way more comprehensive, entertaining, and easy on the overall browsing experience than those (usually) silly Complex features. Big up Aaron Matte, that was a gargantuan task to take on…and you did it fam. Now POW and PTP are currently on a mission of “other type” proportions. P.S. You should really read the following articles while you’re getting paid to work, that’s flipping a negative into a positive…they’ll then be paying for your educationalization, b.
Danny Brown leaked a cut that didn’t make the final release of XXX, the concept’s similar to “Fields” — going in on problems with the D, plus a side of personal issues, but the difference in comparison to the rest of the LP is that soulful hook. Danny Brown “Tomorrow” Danny Brown puts out yet another trippy video off of XXX; “Monopoly”…or the song of “neverending quotables”. As soon as the album dropped, people were on Twitter throwing up their favorite one-liners, from the joint’s monstrous verse spillage, by the minute! What’s even more amazing? The song is almost better when done live!
Bonus: The man behind the beat, Quelle, gets a-talkin’ with Lattisaw Tapes. Great reading. Danny Brown and A$AP Rocky (and co.) lurk in the shadows, leaving nothing but empty bottles of Colt 4-fever and an endless trail of some pungent, ominously-swaying fog that would make John Carpenter piss his pants. I couldn’t have envisioned a better visual treatment to the heavyset, twisted sonics of this favorite off of XXX. Kudos to young Rocky and The ICU for their directorial talents.
Stream the scary beats! Danny Brown goes over his music non-industry experience with SlamXHype during a recent visit to NYC. Signing with Fool’s Gold, shopping his demo in the early 2000′s, the influence of NYC, going from The Hybrid to XXX, and how he started rappin’…plus mention of his next project, an EP with Black Milk. Food for thought.
The new Danny Brown album, XXX, has just dropped on the Fool’s Gold site. Get it now. Write up to follow. Danny Brown gives some insight on the angles that most people fail to consider when choosing the profession of “full-time rapper.” Info on his next album, XXX, and his workaholism…plus a live verse, at The Beauty Bar in Chi-town, to top it all off.
