Ever since the release of his universally acclaimed XXX mixtape, Danny Brown has been earning a slew of high-profile guest appearances over the past year. Now, in a recent interview with Fader, the Detroit rapper discusses his studio debut, titled ODB.
Although he kept tight-lipped about the album itself, Danny Brown confirmed that his first studio release has been completed. He explained that the album won’t be as consistently humorous as XXX, but said that people will be surprised with the outcome.
“The new album is done,” he revealed. “We’re pretty much just figuring out a way of presenting the right way to get released…the title of the album for now is ODB. I can’t really elaborate on what that means until the album comes out, and then they’ll get it. I don’t want to give too much because then it’ll be a much more rewarding listen for my fans.”
He continued, “It’s a rewarding listen when I listen to it. I don’t know if I laugh as much – I think I laugh when it’s over with, and that’s the difference between this album and XXX. With XXX, you laugh throughout it, and by the time it was over with, you were like, ‘Oh that wasn’t too funny.’ This one, when it’s over, you’re laughing hysterically…it’s not necessarily what’s being said on the album, but the album [itself], like, ‘I can’t believe he made this.'”

I hope this dude gets some shine. He’s dope.
cool, good to know.
Wait, so The Hybrid and XXX weren’t albums? Damn, if those shits were mixtapes the LP is about to be crazy.
no, they were official albums. people in hip hop are just morons and call anything that was released for free a mixtape. and it’s not even his fool’s gold debut, because XXX was released by fool’s gold at first for free digitally and now its available from fool’s gold on vinyl.
THIS DUDE WILL NOT GET SOME SHINE, BUT HE’S DOPE!
Ol’ dirty bastard!
This dude has always come across as a wannabe Ol’ Ditry Bastard…I guess the title confirms it

This nigga is the mainstream version of battle rapper DNA with those teeth
That album title needs to be changed.
Nobody judge this dude! He’s keepin it real. I dont give a f*ck his visual appearence. I dont like that either. but he does his thang. Isn’t obvious that we are going from worse to the worst? Trinidad James! First I saw him I swear I thought it was a parody then I learned he’s real. Then I heard 2 million$ contract. Def Jam gonna get more money than 2 mil for sure. They dont give a f*ck about music anymore. It’s all about money! Peace!
