Danny Brown & JPEGMAFIA: SCARING THE HOES
Danny Brown and JPEGMAFIA, two of the most experimental and influential artists in the hip-hop scene, have joined forces in a spectacular collaboration that is SCARING THE HOES. This groundbreaking album has set the internet ablaze with excitement, and we’re here to break down what makes this collaboration between JPEGMAFIA and Danny Brown so unique.
First, however, before we get into the album, here’s a brief introduction to those uninitiated to JPEGMAFIA and Danny Brown.
The Unmistakable Sound of Danny Brown and JPEGMAFIA
Danny Brown: A Master of Musical Chaos
Danny Brown, the Detroit-born rapper, has captivated audiences with his unique blend of high-energy, off-kilter hip-hop for years. His distinctive, high-pitched voice and unapologetic lyricism have garnered him a dedicated fanbase, and his dynamic live performances have solidified his reputation as a force.
He’s made music for about two decades, but his career only began taking off once releasing The Hybrid in 2010. XXX debuted the following year to critical acclaim, and a wider audience thrilled with songs like “Lie 4” and “I Will.”
Brown continued releasing albums at his own pace, rejecting the music industry’s prevalent “more is better” attitude. Atrocity Exhibition is considered by many as Danny’s best and most experimental work. Watch the Jonah Hill-directed (yes, that Jonah Hill) video for “Ain’t it Funny” and you’ll get the gist.
His most recent solo album, the U Know What I’m Sayin? reveals a calmer Danny. The album, executive produced by Q-Tip, features fewer experimental beats and off-the-charts flow. Yet, it’s just as captivating as any of his work. The album features Run the Jewels, Blood Orange, and JPEGMAFIA.
Brown recently entered the podcasting world with The Danny Brown Show Podcast. Check out the episode with JPEGMAFIA as the guest.
