Let’s take the Way-Back Machine alllllll the way back to 2016:
• The good ol’ Chicago Cubs won their first world series, but no one cared because Donald Trump won the U.S. presidential election like 3 hours later.
• Twitter was limited to like — I dunno — 43 characters or some horrible shit. (Yeah, remember?)
• and Danny Brown, having just signed to fucking Warp, unleashed his latest album Atrocity Exhibition on a grateful public.
THEN, FOR A LONG TIME, NOTHING HAPPENED…
until 2017, when Danny announced that his neeeeeeext album would be “produced by one producer, who’s legendary in hip-hop.” (Cool! Who could it be? MC Hammer, maybe???)
THEN, FOR A LONG TIME, NOTHING HAPPENED AGAIN…
But now, in the great and annoying hip hop tradition of making album announcements one tiny, excruciating detail at a time, Danny Brown has surfaced once again (this time in a snappy cover feature with the magazine High Snobiety) to announce that his forthcoming album shall be titled uknowwhatimsayin?!!!
He also made it OFFICIALLY-OFFICIAL that the legendary Q-Tip has “executive produced” the album!
What does “executive produced” mean? I think it means that there were still other producers on the album, such as Mr. Paul White, with whom Brown had teamed for the 2017 Accelerator EP.
Now, as for the reeeeeeest of those pesky details surrounding the new album’s roll-out procedure??? Well now…looks like you’ll just have to keep your browser glued to your ol’ pal TINY MIX TAPES for the next li’l while, now won’t you?
