Danny Brown – Old (2013)

1. Side A [Old]: 6/10. Referencing the “old” Danny Brown, but the progression is so interesting. Cutty reference Easter egg. 2. The Return: 6/10. Dark and haunting. Fitting to have Freddie Gibbs on a song about being gangster. 3. 25 Bucks: 7/10. The beat is so full and encompassing. Love the story. 4. Wonderbread: 6/10.…

Danny Brown – XXX (Deluxe) (2011)

Conscious choice to skip “Hawaiian Snow” as I am skipping collab albums. 1. XXX: 6/10. We’re back to excitable Danny. Some fun references. 2. Die Like a Rockstart: 7/10. Loving the haunting/spooky beat. Great lyrics for the concept. 3. Pac Blood: 5/10. Chorus references are hilarious. 4. Radio Song: 5/10. Great message and play on…

New Era: 6/10. Love the beat. Feels anthemic, but a little long. 4. Exotic: 4/10. Didn’t mind the feature.…

Danny Brown – The Hybrid Cutting Room Floor (2010)

I unfortunately fell back into my old habits and got overwhelmed from the thought of listening to the new album, Stardust, so I paused listening to music again. 1. 8 Mile: 6/10. Very chill but feels very intro. Makes me wonder how the rest will proceed. 2. Jus Chill: 7/10. Love the beat. Almost a…

Danny Brown – Detroit State of Mind 4 (2010)

1. D-Boyz: 5/10. Danny sonically sounds so different compared to features. I didn’t find this as hard as I was expecting. 2. Keeps It 100: 4/10. Not a fan of the effect/echo/layering on the voices. The hook is a little too busy for me with the angelic sounds in the back. Trick Trick’s verse wasnt…
