Danny Brown x Johnson&Johnson change | September 12, 2012 |
Son Raw sees no changes, all he sees is racist faces…wrong song. Just when you thought Danny Brown had gone off a molly fueled deep end in his recent Darq E. Freaker and Araabmuzik collaborations, comes this throwback jam (from 2009? 2010) over this Blu & Mainframe beat. It reminds you that he’s always been […]
You Watching Like the Other Four Lakers on the Court: Danny Brown & House Shoes’ ‘Sweet’ | September 4, 2012 |
Danny Brown subtly breaking down the potential for problems between Kobe and Dwight Howard. Between this and “Grown Up,” the Hybrid has starred in two of the best videos of the year and he doesn’t even have a new album out. Impressive. Don’t sleep on House Shoes either. He is one of the most quotable […]

Veneers in a Few Years: Dear Danny Brown | July 26, 2012 |
There is not much that can be done writing-wise to enhance the hilarity of this Danny Brown Noisey segment, where the Hybrid answers questions from YouTube commenters. It starts with him debating the pros of obese women, includes the most well-constructed argument for responsible drug use since Tim Leary, and ends with him discussing dental […]
There’s a variety of ways to evaluate rap music. You can break it down based on beat, flows, lyrics,or quality of engineering. You can measure it strictly on whether bangs in your car or not. Or you can get abstract and try to postulate about how much it contributes to the evolution of the genre. […]
Danny Brown & Araabmuzik: huge John Hughes fans. | July 18, 2012 |
Don’t get it twisted, Son Raw hasn’t seen Molly in a minute. Quick history lesson: back when E was all the rage in Europe, rave music became increasingly frenetic, euphoric and (let’s face it) cheesy. Everyone knows that part of the story, but what happens next is the real interesting bit: as the drug addicted […]
Jonah Bromwich is blaming everything on Jimmy Iovine. Danny Brown obviously deserves to be popular. He’s talented and has a performative personality that demands attention — which would be worthless if not backed by said talent. While everyone’s pleased that Brown is succeeding off merit, one of the nicest things about his rise has been […]
Rap Frost Vs. Nixon: | June 15, 2012 |
Most video interviews aren’t worth your time. You have turn off your music, get in stealth mode from your employer and most of the time it rarely amounts beyond a heap of cliches. Not this time. A$AP Rocky and Danny Brown interview each other and it yields one of the greatest exchanges of all-time. Danny […]
The origins of Danny Brown | June 5, 2012 |
Son Raw blows big blunts on his way to brunch. The best rapper rapping (yeah, I said it) delivers the video to his Party Supplies produced summer anthem. Though he doesn’t carry the great one’s commercial clout, Brown’s come-up narrative and Spike Jonze inspired video treatment recall none other than Biggie and given his proclivities […]
Danny Brown – “Jay-Dee’s Revenge” | May 14, 2012 |
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMAqry9TfLs This was Alex Koenig’s rough draft. “Jay-Dee’s Revenge” is the first track to surface from Rebirth of Detroit, an upcoming album that features Detroit artists rapping over unreleased J Dilla beats. But “Revenge” isn’t one of the late producer’s sweeter donuts—the song’s harsh, deep bass line and oscillating synthesizer pattern signify menace. Danny Brown […]
