So apparently that Danny Brown + Blu + Mainframe project that we introduced a few weeks ago is actually from 2010 and the album, titled It’s A Art, has been floating around the internet for a few years. Regardless, it’s new to me so I will present it as such. Blu and Mainframe take on production duties and the many faces (and flows) of Danny Brown take on MC duties. The album really shows Brown trying out a number of flows, from the highly reserved “Change” to the sing-rap of “Can’t Find My Mind”. Brown doesn’t sound nearly as fucked up on the album, which results in a less intriguing result, both in his demeanor and subject matter. His current deranged, hyperbolic state just results in better music. Just one man’s opinion. Download the album right here.

Blu, Mainframe and Danny Brown Are Danny Johnson

Blu + Mainframe = Johnson & Jonson, Johnson & Jonson + Danny Brown = Danny Johnson. Got it? Good. Blu has taken on so many side projects and dropped countless unannounced albums that there isn’t really much he can do at this point to surprise his fans. Danny Brown also has a penchant for random release dates although no one in contemporary hip hop can really match the scattershot thought process of Johnson Barnes. Danny Johnson will involve Blu and Mainframe handling production with Danny on the mic. “Change” sees Brown completely out of his element, spitting in a restrained flow over the relaxed production. Is it just me or does his voice sound a little like Young Buck’s when he’s not yelling? Probably just me. Anyways, a full Danny Johnson LP is coming soon on New World Color. Stream “Change” below.
