uknowhatimsayin¿ drops October 4th.

After a palpable wait, Danny Brown’s new album, uknowwhatimsayin¿, is on the horizon, slated for an October 4th release. A couple of weeks ago, Danny introduced us to his fifth studio album through the single “Dirty Laundry,” replete with a zany, on-brand video. Now, the eccentric and exciting XXX artist is back with the next single, “Best Life.”

Over a nostalgic, euphoric beat tinged with ominous accents, the second uknowwhatimsayin¿ single sounds like a sonic continuation of “Dirty Laundry” while retaining its own distinct personality. Produced by the one and only Q-Tip, the “Best Life” production possesses unmistakeable New York elements, tied with a jazzy, ethereal bow. 

As one of the game’s most underrated lyricists, Danny uses wordplay and vivid imagery to paint a contrasting picture of his harrowing upbringing and fruitful current status. Danny has this beautiful gift of making the listener feel like they are truly experiencing life through his vantage point; on “Best Life,” Q-Tip provides the canvas, Danny supplies the paint — it’s a beautiful, kindred relationship.

uknowwhatimsayin¿ follows the 2016 Atrocity Exhibition, and will be entirely executively produced by Q-Tip.

Listen to “Best Life” below:

Many of our readers probably aren't very familiar with DJ Spinn or even DJ Rashad -- but they ought to be! DJ Spinn and DJ Rashad make music simply known as 'juke' and 'footwork'. Both styles of music originate from Chicago, a city where Spinn and Rashad are from. DJ Rashad dropped his critically-acclaimed album, Double Cup, at the tail-end of 2013, the same year Danny Brown -- a rapper from the neighboring Detroit -- released his album Old. Since then DJ Rashad tragically passed away, at the tender age of 34. His career was booming and he was quickly gaining recognition across the world but sadly God called him home early. Now, Danny Brown is teaming up with DJ Spinn for "Dubby," a track that will appear on Off the Loud -- the duo's collaborative EP -- on Hyperdub (a popular electronic music label out of the UK). As far as Danny goes: Well, he's supposed to be dropping a new album later this year. Check out "Dubby" after the jump.
