Danny Brown (born March 16, 1981 in Detroit , Michigan ; actually Daniel Dewan Sewell ) is an American rapper .

Career

Danny Brown first drew attention to himself as a member of the hip-hop crew Reser'vor Dogs . In 2003 they released the joint album Runispokets-n-Dumpemindariva . When, with Roc-a-Fella Records, a larger label showed interest, but nothing came off, he began to release his own mixtapes in 2007, including the Detroit State of Mind series. In 2010 he released his first download album The Hybrid and the mixtape Hawaiian Snow together with Tony Yayo from G Unit . A contract with the label did not materialize, but the label Fool's Gold by A-Trak signed him and later published a year his first regular album titled XXX . It was voted Hip Hop Album of the Year by Spin magazine and one of the top 20 hip hop debut albums since 1996 in 2016.

By the end of 2012 he had already completed his next album with guest contributions from ASAP Rocky and Schoolboy Q , but it was not until the fall of the following year that he got the label to release it. The album Old reached number 18 on the official US album charts and the top 5 for hip-hop and rap albums.

After that, things got a little quieter for Danny Brown, until he returned to the TV sitcom Fresh Off the Boat in 2015 with the theme song . He had found a new label in Warp and in 2016 he released his first single with When It Rain . Later in the year, the album Atrocity Exhibition was released , which again hit the top 5 for rap and hip-hop albums. In the sales charts, however, it only came to number 77. As guest musicians, Kendrick Lamar and Black Milk were represented on the album. For October 2019, Danny Brown announced an album produced by Q-Tip entitled Uknowhatimsayin¿ and released the single Dirty Laundry .
