Danny Brown "Grown Up" One Year Later…

Posted on Jun 5th, 2013

Today marks the one year anniversary of Danny Brown’s “Grown Up” video… started from a Scion A/V premier and now we here, three million (and counting) views and one mtvU Video Of The Year Woodie later.

Danny’s Party Supplies-produced ode to adolescence is one of the most iconic clips in the FG catalog, thanks in no small part to director Greg Brunkalla and pint-sized bruiser Dante Hoagland, making his acting debut. To celebrate today’s milestone, Greg and his production company Walter Pictures just posted Dante’s audition tape, which you can peep after the jump. Get “Grown Up” now on iTunes. Read More

Danny Brown "Old & Reckless" Tour

Posted on Mar 8th, 2013

Danny Brown is on fire: after announcing the “Worst Of Both Worlds” Tour with chart-topping DJ phenomenon Baauer (culminating with sure-to-be triumphant Coachella performances), the Detroit superstar leaked “#HottestMC,” a controversial response to MTV’s list of the same name that instantly garnered praise everywhere from Pitchfork (hailing it as “a devastating slice of messiah-rap meant for an age of false prophets”) to lyrical peers like Kendrick Lamar (who instantly tweeted, “Danny Brown killin this new track. Hard. Uncut tho.”)

Danny’s hot streak will continue to blaze all this spring on the “Old & Reckless” Tour, his first ever solo headlining trek following back-to-back sold-out US tours supporting A$AP Rocky and Childish Gambino. Fellow rap rule-breaker Kitty will open each date, and fans will be the first to hear new songs from Danny’s eagerly anticipated new Fool’s Gold full-length Old, featuring guest appearances from Schoolboy Q, Charli XCX, Rustie and more.
