For those yet unblessed by Danny Brown, he is an independent rapper from Detroit, Michigan. With his discography spanning 9 years, 3 albums, 2 collaborations and 7 mixtapes, I wish I could tell you it was hard to pick one to review. I've only come across 3 of his releases, and the only one I liked was "XXX". But when I say I liked it, I mean I fucking loved it. Since finding "XXX" I must have played it dozens and dozens of times, memorizing every line. "XXX" is full of hilarity, but also features Danny letting us into his head with songs like Die Like A Rockstar. Brown discusses highly personal subjects such as drug addiction(Adderall Admiral) and poverty(Scrap Or Die, Fields.). He doesn't want to spread his depression to his audience so he has some happier-themed tracks like I Will. Showing off his fun side and lyrical prowess, he raps "Take it off baby bend over let me see it/You looking for a real pussy eater? I can be it/Quit playing with me girl and bring that over here/And climb aboard my face, put that pussy on my beard." "XXX" doesn't know what a bad song is. Excellent lyrics, flow, production and unique delivery from track 1 to 30. Danny Brown is finally recieving the attention he deserves, having just started a tour with Childish Gambino (who I might review next...) and appearing at several music festivals throughout the year.
I'll leave you with this: "I got them Penis Psalms for your Vagina Monologues/Love a feminist bitch, oh, it get my dick hard/So no apologies for all the misogyny/I just want your company to come and watch some porn with me."
