In a press release, Danny Brown said of the new album, “This is my version of a stand-up comedy album. Most of my close friends now aren’t rappers — they’re comedians and actors. So I wanted to create something that mixed humour with music. Something that was funny but not parody.”
The album is executive produced by Q-Tip, and the rapper opened up about working with the A Tribe Called Quest co-founder. “There was no room for error,” Brown said. “Q-Tip wanted me to go back to that ‘Greatest Rapper Ever’ era. I almost had to relearn how to rap again — an ego death type thing. He gave me this whole new outlook on music. I can’t go back to how I was before.”
The news comes alongside new single ‘Dirty Laundry’, with a music video directed by Simon Cahn – watch it below.
