Video: Danny Brown - "Smokin' & Drinkin'"

I have made it pretty clear time and time again that Danny Brown’s “Smokin’ & Drinkin’” off of 2013’s Old LP is my gold standard for hip hop, it’s all about that crazy flow that switches from whimsical to menacing from verse to verse over an A-Trak beat that sounds like it was birthed from a murky, gator filled, swamp.

Today I got to fall in love with the tune all over again since a video made its way onto the internet that showcases, you guessed it, smoking and drinking.

Listen: The Neighbourhood feat. Danny Brown – “Hate Machine”

As previously reported L.A. band, The Neighbourhood, are gearing up to release a rock mixtape in the near future. I spoke of the importance of this at the time so I won't bore you doing so again, instead I will share a new track from the project which features Danny Brown. “Hate Machine” seamlessly fuses both artists’ worlds together, which only makes sense considering how vocal the Neighbourhood are about being avid hip hop fans, stream it below to form your own opinions…

Listen: Danny Brown – “Old” (Full LP Stream)

Danny Brown's Old is set to drop next week on October 8th via Fool’s Gold but you can now stream it in its entirety via Spotify below. The follow up to the instant classic that was XXX features guest spots from emcee’s such as SchoolboyQ, Charli XCX, Purity Ring, Freddie Gibbs, A$AP Rocky and Ab-soul. Production duties are handled by Paul White, A-Trak, Rustie, Skywlkr and more.

Old is most certainly not XXX part two, the Detroit native shows a lot of growth as a writer and overall I would say that  the record is a little less “weird” than its predecessor but no less unique possibly making it a little easier to digest for more casual listeners. Production is to say the least colorful jumping all over the place stylistically often revealing a new favorite as the album progress’s from start to finish.

Video: Danny Brown – “Dip”

With Old set to drop on October 8th Danny Brown has been sharing new tunes and videos at a feverish pace. The latest is in the form of “Dip” which see’s Danny spitting his lunacy to a Skywlkr beat, visuals are courtesy of Rollo Jackson.

Listen: Danny Brown – “Side A (Old)"

Danny Brown’s  OLD is out soon via Fools Gold, and today we get yet another taste of the album in the form of “Side A (Old).” PaulWhite handles production duties while Danny raps about his past as he heads into the future.

Video: Danny Brown – “ODB”

Still playing catch-up here after being out of town for a week.  

One of my favorite rappers these last several years has been Danny Brown, if that’s a surprise to you it really shouldn't be because we post a lot of his stuff here at Onomatopoeia. Brown’s Old is set to drop on September 30^th via Fools Gold but tracks have been steadily dropping over the passing weeks and months to keep fans interested. “ODB” is the first official single and video and is produced by Paul White who keep things super trippy and off the beaten path, a perfect match for Danny’s flow.  The equally trippy video comes curtsy of Ruffmercy which makes this one a perfect hat trick! 

Listen: Trampy Ft. Danny Brown – ‘Express Yourself”

Trampy and Danny Brown released a cut titled after the viral phenomenon of the same name which sees brown killing it behind Trampy's production. Of course Danny makes sure to drop shouts out's to both Diplo and Major Lazer for the inspiration, stream it below…

Listen: Danny Brown - "Kush Coma"

Danny Brown stayed true to his word and dropped a new tune entitled  “Kush Coma.” Danny stated that he would put out the track if fans got #KushComa to trend.  Apparently fans took that to heart as is became a trending topic within 20 minutes.  The Skywalkr produced tune is an alternate version of what we will hear on his forthcoming LP, Old, scheduled to drop in August, as A$AP Rocky still has to record some versus for it. As is the tune sounds very complete and is heavy on the bass with some aggressive percussion and synths paving the way for Danny’s always unique delivery.

Listen: Danny Brown: "#HottestMC"

Danny Brown has recorded a new one-off track in response to the much talked about MTV's annual "Hottest MC" countdown. Of course anyone who takes a list of hottest mc’s (what does that even mean?) compiled by MTV too seriously should probably not even be on this site as it pretty much means fuck all but hey that doesn't mean some of the MC’s listed aren't talented.  "Fuck a top 10 list ... nigga im the Greatest Rapper Ever," Danny wrote on Twitter.

MTV reveals its top 5 tomorrow, will Danny make the cut?  Listen to the Harry Fraud-produced song which sees the rapper doing his thing in a slightly more laid back, or perhaps less animated, manner then we are used to hearing from him but as always with much humor.

Video: Evil Nine feat. Danny Brown - "The Black Brad Pitt"

Back in August of last year we shared a fantastic tune which was the result of a collaboration between U.K. bass music duo Evil Nine (Tom Beaufoy & Pat Pardy) and Detroit’s Danny Brown. “The Black Brad Pitt” now has an equally intriguing video to go with the music that you can stream below…

Listen: The Purist - "Jealousy" (ft. Danny Brown)

UK producer the Purist  shared “Jealousy” which features some top notch vocals from our favorite Detroit spitter, Danny Brown. The track will appear on an EP called TR-ill that also includes spots from Sean Price, Havoc of Mobb Deep and Big Twins.  The EP is scheduled t drop on Feb. 4^th via Believe Digital and King Kong Holding Co.

Listen: A$AP Rocky – “1Train” (feat. Kendrick Lamar, Yelawolf , Big K.R.I.T., Joey Bada$$, Danny Brown, Action Bronson, Hitboy)

Here is "1Train", a cut from A$AP Rocky's upcoming debut Long.Live.A$AP. Featuring guest verses from Kendrick Lamar, Joey Bada$$, Yelawolf, Danny Brown, Action Bronson, and Big K.R.I.T. with the beat coming from Hit-Boy. Danny Brown is the standout for me. Long.Live.A$AP is out on January 15. 

Danny Brown - "Grown UP" " (oOoOO remix)

San Francisco’s oOoOO has been pretty quiet as of late but returned today with this absolutely killer remix of Danny Brown’s “Grown Up,” implementing some of his spooky trademark sounds and change-up's. Hopefully this starts a wave of some new original material from the producer in 2013.

Video: Danny Brown -"Wit it" (NSFW)

Here's the over-the-top new NSFW video for Danny Brown's "Wit' It", an XXX bonus track directed by Bijoux Altamirano, this thing look like the cover of a No Limit album from back in the day, the beat kills…

Listen: Purity Ring and Danny Brown -"Belispeak II”

Purity Ring just shared a stream of a collaboration with rapper Danny Brown entitled "Belispeak II". Yes, it's a sequel to Shrines'  well known "Belispeak". Danny Brown fires off some machine gun quick rhymes about being hungry and how his belly speaks.  This should be like Christmas coming early to fans of either of these artists.
