Danny Brown - uknowhatimsayin¿

Danny Brown is one of our most favourite voices in the hip-hop landscape, full of manic exuberance that creates an adrenaline-fuelled bop of squawks and yowls. His fifth studio LP - uknowhatimsayin¿ - is an absolute stunner, executively produced by iconic rapper and producer Q-Tip - of A Tribe Called Quest - it’s the culmination of a decade’s work that has brought huge plaudits from both the underground and mainstream.

It transcends genres and further elaborates the Detroit rapper’s ability to evolve, whilst referencing the past and sounding totally like himself. Our Record of the Week and the best rap record this year by a country mile.
