Danny Brown Details Upcoming Album, Shares Lead Single 'Dirty Laundry'

It's been three years since Danny Brown dropped Atrocity Exhibition, and thankfully we won't have to wait too much longer for its followup. On Thursday (September 5), the rapper detailed his upcoming album uknowhatimsayin¿ and shared its lead single "Dirty Laundry," along with a video.

“This is my version of a stand-up comedy album.” Brown said in a press release about the album. “Most of my close friends now aren’t rappers—they’re comedians and actors. So I wanted to create something that mixed humor with music. Something that was funny but not parody.”

He also explained what it was like working with Q-Tip, who executive produced the project. “There was no room for error,” he said. “Q-Tip wanted me to go back to that ‘Greatest Rapper Ever’ era. I almost had to relearn how to rap again—an ego death type thing. He gave me this whole new outlook on music. I can't go back to how I was before.”

Watch the "Dirty Laundry" video below and look out for uknowhatimsayin¿ on October 4.

Brown is hitting the road next month in support of the new album. Check out a full list of dates below and get ticket info here.
