Danny Brown Confirms New Album Title, Names Guest Features and Producers

http://fatraps.com/news/danny-brown-confirms-new-album-title-names-guest-features-and-producers

“The producers he’s listed for Old include Skywlkr, Oh No, Darq E Freaker, Purity Ring, Paul White, and Rustie…[and] as for the guest features, we’ll hear Danny trade vocals with A$AP Rocky, Schoolboy Q, Ab-Soul, Kitty Pryde (ed. note: UGH DOUBLE UGH), and Purity Ring’s Megan James.”

But aside from the regrettable Kitty, fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck yes.

In which “it” appears to be the trap as conceived by robots who don’t fucks with no brostep shit. Here, Danny follows up his absolutely stunning XXX mixtape and a string of amazing singles and videos by expanding his aesthetic universe - which already comprised Hawkwind samples - to include vintage Pen ‘N Pixel album art.

Getting even more stoked for ODB, Brown’s ballsily-titled next project, and his upcoming collaboration with The Avalanches (!).

Until the new shit drops, though, we’ll have to content ourselves wit “Witit” and Danny’s opinions on the landmark rap SCOTUS case of Twitter bitches v. Facebook bitches.

(Props to Passion of the Weiss for the find.)

PS - You know we back, right?

XXL just released its always-controversial - but usually on-point - annual list of the best and the brightest new faces in hip-hop.

I’ll admit I’m not totally familiar with most of these dudes, though the inclusions I am familiar with seem sound - love Danny Brown, not quite sold on French Montana - even though I just can’t stand bone-simple R&B robot Future. And while it’s nice to see Iggy Azalea repping for the ladies, I would’ve preferred to see her similarly named contemporary, the fabulous and fabulously talented Azealia Banks. And it’s too bad they slept on Boldy James, Main Attrakionz, and Schoolboy Q. In general, though, spilling some ink on lesser-known quantities is always something I’m in favor of.
