I have a lot of respect for artists who can stay relevant by
releasing new albums. I have even more respect for artists who can stay relevant
by releasing only a single, and that is something that Danny Brown has done.
Despite not putting out an album this year, Brown comes across as a man who has
been busier than ever, staying endlessly connected on Twitter and somehow
finding time to write Grown Up. For someone who prides himself on how
explicitly he can describe sex acts, Grown Up is a comparatively clean song
that features a beat catchier than his usual work. On top of that it has got some real lyrical
gems like, “Hotter than a Hot Pocket out the Devil’s Microwave”. If that wasn’t
enough, it has also got one of the best videos of the year to go with it, one
part silly one part adorable two parts incredibly creative. It is pretty
difficult to find anything negative to say about Danny Brown, which is strange considering how abrasive he can be at times, but
with albums as good as The Hybrid and XXX under his belt, I can’t imagine his
next record will be anything other than fantastic.
