Danny Brown has said that his next album will be a big change from his previous work — a change sparked by his sobriety.
In a conversation with Kevin Abstract on a recent episode of The Danny Brown Show, the Michigan rapper shared that he was “getting ready to finish” his next LP.
“This album, I will say, it’s the most different shit I ever did,” he said. “It’s the first album I made since being sober. So I think already it’s my favorite album, just because of that — because I didn’t know how to do it no more. I was so busy always getting fucked up in the studio, just making lightning-in-a-bottle type shit happen.”
He continued, saying that he worked “extra harder” on the project because “I hate that cliche of, when people get sober, their music suck. So I had that chip on my shoulder to be like, I can’t suck.
“Every song on here I wrote at least two, three times over, re-recording constantly… I’m really proud of it, man,” he concluded.
You can hear Danny talk about the project beginning at the 29-minute mark below.

In an earlier episode of The Danny Brown Show from this past spring, Danny showed that the rap game can be rough on your wallet when he discussed JAY-Z, Kanye West, and his song “Dip.”
The Detroit rapper revealed that in order to use elements from a Hov and Ye track, he had to give up almost all rights to his own song.
“Dip,” the first single from Brown’s 2013 album Old, interpolates a segment of the Watch the Throne duo’s “N-ggas in Paris.” As a result, Jay, Kanye, Hit-Boy and Mike Dean (as well as Reverend W.A. Donaldson, whose 1959 “Baptizing Scene” was sampled on “N-ggas in Paris”) all ended up as credited writers on “Dip” alongside Brown and producer Skywlkr.
The Bruiser Brigade boss talked to his buddy ScHoolboy Q, who was a guest on his podcast, about the details of the negotiations.
According to Brown, once Hov and Ye got through with the song, there was basically nothing left over.
“With ‘Dip,’ JAY-Z and Kanye killed my ass,” he said. “They own that whole muthafucka. And that’s one of my biggest songs. I don’t get shit from that muthafucka!”
“I’ll never use a n-gga hook again, man,” he continued. “I learned my lesson, man. Skylar [producer Skylar ‘Skywlkr’ Tait] be mad at me to this day, like, ‘Yeah, that was one of the biggest ones, man. We fucked up.’ Because you know, he made that beat. We don’t get shit from that muthafucka.”
