RBMA UK Lecture & Interview w/ Danny Brown (Video)

RBMA (Red Bull Music Academy) UK recently grabbed Danny Brown for a near hour-and-a-half lecture in Glasgow. As you may know if you’re familiar with these lectures, lots of different topics were discussed with Danny on the couch with the infamous backdrop. Read a bit below, but get yourself some time to watch this interview above.

In an era of industry-obsessed MCs, interchangeable hashtag raps, and “viral” everything, it has become increasingly difficult to find a true original in the rap game. Fortunately, at the start of the decade, along came Danny Brown. In 2011 the Detroit MC teamed up with Fool’s Gold Records and released XXX, a tour-de-force concept record about hedonism, growing up, and his hometown, which took listeners on a profane and psychedelic journey through his own uncensored ID. After a year of universal critical acclaim, Danny divided his time recording his debut full length LP, OLD, and appearing on tracks by the likes of A$AP Rocky, Ab-Soul, A-Trak and Purity Ring. OLD challenged XXX’s achievements, and Brown’s paradigm shredding path hasn’t hit a block since.
