Danny Brown Brings His Signature Comedic And Serious Tone To “Dark Sword Angel”

by

Quaranta might be a crowning achievement for Danny Brown. What we mean by that is the rapper has stated publicly that he has dealt with a lot ahead of the release. His candidness is something he has shown in numerous interviews and one the Detroit MC did with The Guardian proves that tenfold. He was suffering a tough stretch during the COVID pandemic, something that really took a toll on everyone in their own way. After breaking up with someone he really loved, Brown was spiraling. “I’m in this nice-ass apartment, it was like four bedrooms, but I’m lonely as f***. It got to the point I was just getting f****d up, every day, by myself.”

Brown continues to detail, “It was seven days a week. I was in pain all the time. Throwing up and s***, you know? It was my rock bottom.” However, he was able to find that resolve and climb out of that. Now, he is back doing what he loves, making music. He references that on the opening title track. That is a standout moment and another one of them is “Dark Sword Angel.” What makes this song great, is Danny’s signature mix of funny and serious. The opening lyrics are a sign that he is feeling great about where he is and where his career is going.

“We doin’ this even without a record deal / Half the s*** I say can’t be understood by executives.” Going forward, this will be Danny’s last record on Warp Records. His label, Bruiser Brigade Records, will house the rest of his records. That part of this song itself shows Danny’s personal growth. He is hitting the reset button in more ways than one. But, he knows how to instantly make you laugh. “Try to put my finger in her like a rotary phone / If I take her for a spin, she would never call home.” We will let you decipher what he is saying.

What are your initial thoughts on this brand-new song by Danny Brown, “Dark Sword Angel?” Is this one of your favorite tracks from Quaranta so far?

Quotable Lyrics:

Step to the side like Iverson crossed Jordan
Gimme my portion or end wit’ extortion
Might stab a n**** if you come between my crawfish
Put the squeeze on you like a corset, not in my final form yet
So watch me metamorphis’
Spittin’ on porches, rappin’ for a mortgage

Danny Brown Details How Far He Has Come On “Quaranta”

by

Danny Brown’s career is one that will go down as maybe the most underrated in the history of the genre. His gut-busting humor, along with his ability to get serious at the drop of a hat, has made him an extremely versatile artist. Brown’s sound may not be for everyone, but his individualism makes him one of the more memorable figures in hip-hop. He has obviously experienced a lot over the course of his time in the industry and that is one of the topics he tackles on his brand-new album.

Quaranta is Danny’s sixth studio album and first since his 2019 effort, uknowhatimsayin¿ This project is sort of a sequel to his 2011 tape, XXX, which is the Roman numeral for 30. If you took any Italian in school, Quaranta translates to 40. The Detroit rapper turned 40 back in 2021 and he wanted to make this LP about how much his life has changed in the past 10 years.

Brown gets into this theme right from the beginning on the title track. “A lot changed since triple X came out / Bought a few cars and a house / Almost had a spouse, got caught up, she was out / Now I’m sitting here, questioning what life is about.” Of course, ahead of the release, Danny put out a couple of singles. Those being “Tantor” and “Jenn’s Terrific Vacation.” For this full-circle-like record, Danny brought out some big names to help with the project. Some of those include The Alchemist, ZelooperZ, and more.

Danny Brown And Kassa Overall Drop “Jenn’s Terrific Vacation” Ahead Of “Quaranta”

by

One of Detroit’s quasi-underground legends, Danny Brown, is just days away from making a tremendously-fast follow-up. The quirky and semi-comical rapper dropped an album-of-the-year contender with JPEGMAFIA in SCARING THE H**S. The zany rapping and in-your-face production were the keys to success for it on top of the awesome cover art.

Now, Danny is gearing up for one tape before the end of 2023. This will be the first time he has ever put out multiple projects in the same year. But, we are happy he is finally breaking tradition this time around. His new project, Quaranta, will be out on November 17. Danny has put one single out already, “Tantor,” which saw him tap into his familiar experimental bag.

I was just looking for a come up
Right there used to be a crack house
Now it’s an organic garden

Danny Brown Announced The Release Date For His Album ‘Quaranta’ And Shared Its Tracklist

by

Danny Brown’s sixth studio album, Quaranta, finally has a release date. Brown has been teasing the album for over a year, giving Uproxx its title in our 2021 interview about his Red Bull Soundclash with Rico Nasty. Since then, he’s released one solo song, “Winter,” but has focused most of his energy on his and Jpegmafia’s joint project Scaring The Hoes.

Today, though, he returned focus to Quaranta, announcing its release date, revealing its tracklist, and sharing the video for its single, “Tantor.” In the video for “Tantor,” Danny terrorizes Los Angeles in a homemade robot suit, spitting his signature unhinged punchlines over a thrashing rock guitar loop. The first true taste of Quaranta certainly suggests a return to the Danny Brown of old after his 2019 release, U Know What I’m Sayin?, got introspective.

Of course, in real life, Danny Brown’s a whole new man after entering treatment for alcohol addiction, an experience he called humbling. It doesn’t appear he’s changed too much musically, though, keeping his trademark humor and love for off-kilter production.

Watch the “Tantor” video above.

Quaranta is due on 11/17 via Warp. Get more info here and check out the tracklist below.

01. “Quaranta”
02. “Tantor”

06. “Jenn’s Terrific Vacation” Feat. Kassa Overall

Danny Brown’s “Quaranta” Album Finally Dropping In November: Details

by

The last time we heard a solo album from 42-year-old Danny Brown was in 2019 when he dropped off Uknowhatimsayin¿. Since then, hip-hop heads have been eager to hear more from the Texas-based creative, who’s been hinting at his upcoming LP, Quaranta for some time now. Today (October 17), a release date of November 17 was finally confirmed, along with the arrival of Brown’s “Tantor” single and an Uncanny-directed visual featuring an eye-catching futuristic cyborg suit.

Earlier this year, the “Grown Up” recording artist completed a stint in rehab that’s seemingly changed his outlook on many things in life. As a result, it’s likely we’ll be introduced to a new version of Brown through his latest body of work. Pitchfork notes that he’s described Quaranta (meaning “40” in Italian) as a “spiritual bookend” to his 2011 effort, XXX, which arrived on his 30th birthday.
