BAMP Project and AFB Presents Danny Brown
May 10, 2016 @ 8:00 pm
The term “artist” is thrown around very freely, but no rapper epitomizes the term better than Daniel Dewan Sewell, A.K.A. Danny Brown. Danny grew up in the decrepit conditions of inner city Detroit. By the time he was a kindergartener, he knew he wanted to be a hip-hop artist. His first recordings were in 2003 as a member of Rese’vor Dogs with fellow Detroit artists Chip$ and Dopehead. His work attracted a Roc-A-Fella A&R who flew Brown out to New York. When nothing materialized, Danny came back to his hometown and started from scratch.
After a series of important, local mixtapes, including the Detroit State Of Mind sequence, Danny released his breakout album The Hybrid in 2010. The album was sad, funny, angry, dark, and down-to-earth, and it led to Danny signing with A-Trak’s Fool’s Gold Records. Fools Gold released the critically acclaimed XXX in 2012.
Danny was featured on the cover of The Fader and embarked on the Long.Live.A$AP Tour with partners in crime A$AP Rocky & ScHoolboy Q. XXX solidified Danny as an emerging rap star who could party hard and admit his flaws in the same breath. It was his duality that stood out amongst an overstuffed crowd of new rappers, and it’s that multi-dimensionality that makes his fan base so loyal today.
A local opener will be announced soon.
