Danny Brown: uknowhatimsayin Vinyl LP
2016âs Atrocity Exhibition was an unexpected masterpiece that cemented Danny Brownâs unique place in the world of underground hip-hop. Named after a Joy Division tune and featuring production by the likes of The Alchemist, Black Milk, and Evian Christ and guest features by the like of Kendrick and Earl, it set the stage for what was yet to come. uknowhatimsayinÂż is Brownâs second album for left-field torchbearers Warp Records, and was executive produced by Q-Tip of A Tribe Called Quest. The record is less manic overall but maintains his wide-eyed, humorous flow - Brown himself refers to the record as his âstand-up comedyâ album. Brown has taken the opportunity to book plenty of uber-relevant guests such as JPEGMAFIA, Flying Lotus, Thundercat, and Run the Jewels, who add much to his expert production and clear execution. The disc begins with the eerie guitar tremolo and low-slung bass of "Change Up", Brown backed by a spectral chorus of murmuring voices. âDirty Laundryâ is neat sub-bass and sardonic flow, jittery keyboard blips and up-front drums, âBest Lifeâ is built on a dusty soul sample, âShineâ is built on an atmospheric din leading to industrial drums and an appearance from Blood Orange. This record is packaged in a high-gloss sleeve with a sturdy printed inner and obi. Also includes a really nice sticker sheet - it's simple, but definitely one of our favorite bonuses in recent memory. Recommended.
