Danny Brown is never one to hop on conventional production and work with your standard artists. Almost all of the proof you need is on any one of his albums. Most recently, the Detroit underground icon pushed boundaries on his SCARING THE H*ES with JPEGMAFIA, as well as his solo LP Quaranta. Even though they aren’t for everyone lyrically and sonically, they were still some of the best releases last year. Now, Danny Brown is dipping his toes into the worlds of glitch and digital hardcore alongside femtanyl. Not to be confused with the dangerous drug, femtanyl is a Canadian producer and vocalist.
According to her Genius profile, “Her work has often been described as “digital hardcore,” focusing on subjects of depressive or nostalgic themes and connections to life as a trans woman in the modern day.” She’s certainly got some intriguing and niche aspects to her music, so if you’re looking for something outside the box, be sure to try out “M3 N MIN3.” This collab with Danny Brown is her first one, and given how cohesive they sound together, it may not be their last. The lyricism is extremely descriptive and gruesome at times, with lyrics like, “Lymph node infection / Go spit the leeches on the ground / It’s just seizures on repeat now.” The production is extremely fast-paced and perfect for a neon lit party. Give femtanyl’s new single “M3 N MIN3” a try with the link below.
I was up in life Until you popped the nerves inside my eyes You pushed your thumbs in deeper I felt it in my spine But now I feel much better ‘Cause I don’t gotta see what they say online
Pop duo Frost Children have been making a bit of a name for themselves since releasing their first album in 2020. They’ve worked with other acts in their space, including Dorian Electra and Porter Robinson. Now, they are making the crossover into hip-hop. Their first collaboration on that front is Danny Brown, perhaps the most perfect option in such a scenario. Their energy, combined with Brown’s frenetic rap style, is unsurprisingly a solid match. The track, produced by Frost Children, sounds like a festival-ready EDM song. It evokes similarities to Deadmau5, Skrillex, and any other popular EDM or dubstep acts from the early 2010s.
The Frost siblings are highly energetic and deliver a catchy hook. Danny Brown’s own music has been less animated in recent years than it’s been in the past, but he taps right back into his old style on the song. His verse sounds like something he would’ve done in the XXX days, though it is a short appearance. “You can cut that sh*t out like a Lil Wayne dread” is trademark Danny Brown wit. If there is one thing his music’s never lacked, it’s wit. Frost Children are hosting their first annual “Frost Fest” on August 22 and 23. Danny Brown is headlining the first night, which takes place in Brooklyn. This track is a good way to promote the event while also getting some chaotic energy out onto a song. Stream the new single from the trio below.
Give a f**k about a trim B**ch I’m all about the crew Motherf**ker, new fringe Got bands and cliques, ten steps ahead You can cut that shit out like a Lil Wayne dread Gonna flip in an instant, you’re on Ozempics Right out the trеnches, swing for the fencеs
We got another duo of rappers that are going to make a huge splash in the impending days. That would be the Pennsylvania tandem of Joey Valence & Brae. These two got their start in 2021 and are mixing elements of 90s boom-bap, alternative, with a punk-like aesthetic. Joey plays the role of MC and producer, whereas Brae is strictly a vocalist. They have a fun in-your-face style, something that is sort of missing from today’s rap scene. On June 7, Joey Valence & Brae will drop their sophomore album NO HANDS, and to bring some ears to it, they are here with “PACKAPUNCH”.
This is the fourth and final single from what will be a 12-song project. The first of the teasers, “WHERE U FROM”, a synth-heavy bop, dropped back on January 19. They would then follow that up with the rage-like “JOHN CENA” on March 1. Finally, their rowdy a** popping cut “THE BADDEST”, would come out on April 26. For “PACKAPUNCH”, Joey and Brae are working alongside someone who could be seen as an inspiration to their approach, Danny Brown.
Listen To “PACKAPUNCH” By Joey Valence & Brae & Danny Brown
According to an interview with Vents Magazine, Joey and Brae explained how this head-nodding banger came to be. Joey says it was essentially a half-court heave. “It was one of those shoot your shot moments. And he was like, ‘Yeah, I actually really f*** with you guys’”. Good thing they went for it, because “PACKAPUNCH” is going to help NO HANDS knockout the competition this coming weekend.
What are your thoughts on “PACKAPUNCH” by Joey Valence & Brae and Danny Brown? Is this the duo’s best song of their career so far, why or why not? Does this get you excited for their upcoming album NO HANDS? Who had the stronger performance on the track? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

Danny Brown had a monstrous 2023. The rapper released his sixth studio album, Quaranta, to universal praise. He also dropped the feature-length collab Scaring the Hoes with JPEGMafia. The joint album took over the internet, and went on to become the most beloved release of both of their careers. Hip-hop has been waiting to see what Brown would do next, and he finally confirmed that he was back in the studio during a May 22 concert.
Danny Brown put on electric show at the Forum Kentish Town in London. The Detroit rapper took fans through a set list of some of his greatest hits, but the real takeaway from the show was that he is working on his next solo album. “What I will say,” he told the crowd. “I am working on my new album right now, so, as soon as I’m done with that sh*t, I’ll be right back here with you motherf*ckers.” The crowd went nuts over the news. Brown was encouraged by the response, and shared more information about the writing process.
“Every night after the show I’m in my hotel room,” he explained. “I’m writing new songs every night. I’m not f*cking with these b*tches no more.” The last line was said in a sardonic tone, but it still managed to get cheers from the members of the audience. To be fair to Danny Brown, he has taken a much healthier approach to making music that he did a decade prior. The rapper talked about the transition from heavy drug use to sober songwriting during a 2023 interview with NPR. “Once I got clean, it was like, no, that’s just you anyway,” he said, admitting to a fear of being a worse writer once clean. “I’m better than ever. It just took some time for me to get back to being me again.”
The mature outlook has manifested in his music. Quaranta is considered to be Danny Brown’s most mature effort to date, and he attributed much of it to living habits. “Now, me being older, I just want to be happy,” he reasoned. “Not doing sh*t that kills me, but sh*t that makes me [feel] live. And music is one of those things that I feel like that keeps me young. And just the hip-hop lifestyle in general. You don’t gotta be f* up to live the hip-hop lifestyle.” If Scaring the Hoes is anything to go by, we’d say Brown hasn’t lost any of his musical edge.
Danny Brown’s recent Drink Champs interview was definitely one for the books. The Detroit native joined hosts N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN to discuss several topics, from sobriety to meeting Nas and his thoughts on the current state of hip-hop, among others. However, the 2-hour interview had some important moments worth highlighting. Here are some of the biggest takeaways from Danny Brown’s time on Drink Champs.
A major takeaway from Danny Brown’s Drink Champs interview was his sober announcement. He revealed that he has remained abstinent from drugs and alcohol for a year. When he was asked about his decision to get sober, he bluntly stated: “I was just fucking up.” N.O.R.E and DJ EFN then inquired about how he manages to have fun now without the drugs. “I don’t. But I’m 42 years old,” Danny responded. “The fun got to be done or you gon’ die. My fun was deadly. I was like a living skydiver. You can’t keep jumping out the plane every day.”
Later on in the conversation, the trio discussed the common belief that people are more creative when under the influence. However, Danny disagreed, using himself as an example. “Now that I’m sober, I realized that shit is just in me,” he said. “If anything, the drugs and alcohol was fucking me up more. It was taking me more out of who I was. But I’ve always been a funny motherfucker or just being able to fucking rap.”
The Evolution Of Rap Through Danny Brown’s Eyes

Danny Brown has spent over two decades in the rap game. As a result, he has witnessed the evolution of the genre firsthand. He spoke candidly about his sentiments regarding the current state of rap. “I just wish it was more emphasis on creativity than anything else,” he said. “Because right now, it’s just copy and paste. You see some shit work, and you’re like, ‘Alright, I’m doing that shit too.’ And then it works! It needs to be more gatekeeping around this motherfucker, if anything.”
Although his commentary may have kicked off in a critical way, he later acknowledged the time and effort it takes to create music. He also spoke about how much easier it is to make your way into the rap genre nowadays. “I do like the fact- I’m not saying it’s easy- but you can make some shit and the people fuck with it, you’re on,” he said. “You ain’t gotta go through all of these pipelines and shit, how it used to be before. So, I do like that part of it.”

Later in the discussion Drink Champs host N.O.R.E. expressed the idea that Danny Brown, who has dedicated his life to making music, embodied the essence of 1990s rap. Concurring with the sentiment, Danny elaborated on his own experience. He noted that while he was rapping during that era, he only found success after adjusting his approach. “I didn’t really get no traction like that until I was 30,” he said. “But I would admit that in my 20s, it was more so just rapping to try and get a record deal. I still didn’t find myself yet. It didn’t start working for me until I stopped giving a fuck about what other people thought about my music. I started to realize, like man, the music I listen to ain’t on TV or on the radio. So, I just started to pull my influences from that.”
J Dilla’s Impact

Towards the end of the Drink Champs interview, Danny Brown spoke honestly about the late record producer J Dilla. He also spoke about how much of an impact the producer had on the music industry. “People gotta understand, man. The shit that Dilla was doing, they still talk about and do shit to this day,” he stated. “I was in fucking Sweden one time, in like a fucking five-star restaurant, and they was playing fucking Slum Village instrumentals. I heard Slum Village when I was a kid but I was too immature to even understand that shit.” Danny shared that he didn’t fully grasp the brilliance on the record during his younger years. ”I was like, ‘These n**gas ain’t shooting nobody or nothing? They ain’t getting high or nothing, man. I can’t get jiggy with this shit,’” he joked. “But then when I grew up, I understood the genius in the music.”

Danny Brown and Kendrick Lamar, who collaborated on “Really Doe,” have shared a friendship in their musical careers. When Danny was asked about how their bond was formed, he stated: “We’ve always been fans of each other. I feel like K. Dot is one of the best rappers ever.” He later elaborated on this admiration and paid homage to Kendrick. “Some motherfuckers are just naturally gifted. Like, I feel like J. Cole worked hard to get where he’s at. He studied hard… he rapped hard. I feel like Kendrick was just born with that shit. You can’t take that.”
Danny Brown made a great comeback at the tail end of 2023. He came through with his first solo album in four years with Quaranta. It was a follow up to his 2012 record XXX to show how much he has gone through in his life in the last 10 years. The project had tons of standouts on it, including Y.B.P. with Bruiser Wolf.
On top of Brown’s solo work, he is also working more often with his label, Bruiser Brigade. Bruiser Wolf is one of his talents he is working up and he also hails from Detroit like Danny. Wolf shares more than just a hometown, though. His style is very experimental and underground. His cadence and flows are nowhere near conventional.
His influences are clear on My Story Got Stories, his second project in a very spare career. Bruiser Wolf also emanates E-40 with the sporadicity in his delivery. One of the wildest moments on the record has to be “2 Bad” with Danny and Zelooperz. He combines the beats from DMX’s “Party Up” and “1Train” by A$AP Rocky. It works out suprisingly well and is one you need to hear for yourself. If you looking for something outside the box, check out Wolf’s tape.
What are your thoughts on this brand-new album My Story Got Stories, by Bruiser Wolf? Is this the best body of work he has ever put out, why or why not? What songs are you gravitating toward so far? Who has the strongest feature on the tape and why? Will Bruiser Brigade become a top flight underground label? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your hottest takes in the comments section below.
