Beloved Detroit hip-hop icon Danny Brown announces his seventh studio album, Quaranta—set to release November 17, 2023 via Warp Records—with a head-knocking new single and video, “Tantor”, produced by The Alchemist. “Tantor” is a display of Brown’s sonic mastery, with his punchy vocals cutting through a frenetically hardcore and industrial instrumental. The song further comes to life through its video, directed by *UNCANNY, where Brown blends humanity and technology as he gallivants across Los Angeles in a bionic costume. Mixing in animated clips and heavy editing into the hand-held music video, Brown becomes a fully realized “cyborg with vocal chords”, as he lyrically proclaims within the electrifying song. With the song’s penetrating sound and daring video, “Tantor” is a triumphant return to solo music for Brown. Watch HERE.

A spiritual bookend to his breakout album XXX and meditative follow-up to this year’s critically heralded collaboration album SCARING THE HOES with JPEGMAFIA, Quaranta finds Brown as the most fully realized version of himself. The album features masterful and enrapturing production from some of his most trusted collaborators, including DJ and producer SKYWLKR, The Alchemist, Quelle Chris, Paul White and the Bruiser Brigade crew, and lyrical contributions from Bruiser Wolf and MIKE.

Releasing new music is a cornerstone of several significant changes in Brown’s life thus far. Most notably, Brown recently relocated from his hometown of Detroit to Austin, Texas where he’s living a sober life and tapes his comedy podcast The Danny Brown Show with YMH Studios. Featuring guest appearances from friends and co-collaborators like JPEGMAFIA, Hannibal Buress, Adam Ray, Ali Macofsky, Logic, and Code Orange’s Jami Morgan, The Danny Brown Show reveals Brown’s humanity while also giving him a platform to allow his sharp sense of humor to run wild.

Since trailblazing into the hip-hop scene with XXX, released on Fool’s Gold in 2011, Danny Brown has whipped ravers into frenzies across the world, appeared on late night TV, worked with some of the biggest names in music and donned multiple magazine covers along the way. He’s bridged old and new-school rap royalty (collabs from Earl Sweatshirt to Q-Tip to Kendrick Lamar) and linked with the most grailed underground electronic record labels. And most remarkably, he has done all this while remaining inexplicably himself; never veering too far one way or another, or bothering to explain how he maintains balance.

In November, Brown will host his 10th Bruiser Thanksgiving celebration. Bruiser Thanksgiving is an annual concert featuring a selection of Brown’s favorite performers and is a celebration of multidisciplinary musicians from different generations thoughtfully assembled in one space for the fans who love them. The festival highlights the city of Detroit and the Detroit community as a creative and cultural landmark. Past artists have included Lil B, Joey Badass, Sada Baby, Zach Fox, MIKE, Omar S, Valee, DJ Assault, HiTech, JohnFM, ZelooperZ, JLin and many more. At this year’s Bruiser Thanksgiving X, Danny Brown is planning an extra special reunion show with co-collaborator JPEGMAFIA themed around their collaboration project Scaring The Hoes. The live event takes place on November 22, 2023 at the Russell Industrial Complex in Detroit, Michigan. Tickets are available HERE. Following Bruiser Thanksgiving, Brown will play a string of intimate shows in December to celebrate Quaranta in London, Brooklyn and Los Angeles.
