Legendary Detroit rapper and hip-hop experimentalist Danny Brown delivers his long awaited seventh studio album Quaranta, out today via Warp Records. Quaranta takes listeners to a place unheard before and begins to finally peel back the curtain on Brown, unveiling the inner monologues of an artist who’s mystified fans for over a decade. Over 10 years after releasing his breakout album XXX, a now-sober Austin, TX based Brown brings a more pensive, calculated, and subdued version of himself to the forefront with Quaranta. With his signature off-kilter production and his ability to trojan-horse bars about street-level Detroit and his surreal day to day life within it, this album is a testament to his longevity and legacy in spearheading avant-garde hip-hop.

Featuring head-knocking single and video, “Tantor”, produced by The Alchemist and new single “Jenn’s Terrific Vacation” feat. Kassa Overall, where Danny gripes with the effects of gentrification on his city, Quaranta arrives this year as both the spiritual bookend to his breakout album XXX and a meditative follow-up to this year’s critically heralded collaboration album SCARING THE HOES with JPEGMAFIA. When COVID-19 brought the world to a halt, Brown found himself in downtown Detroit, living alone for the first time ever. In that solitude Quaranta—an autobiographical and personal offering in a way seldom heard from the rapper before—was born.
