Atrocity Exhibition

Description

“He is unmatchable in flow, delivery, and voice. Danny Brown has all the tools
to be the greatest working rapper.” -PITCHFORK Atrocity Exhibition is one of
the freshest and boldest-sounding rap albums in recent memory, a sonic swirl
inspired by the work of Talking Heads and Joy Division that nonetheless sounds
like nothing else from the past or present. Featuring contributions from
producers like Evian Christ, Petite Noir (who also lends vocals to the world-
weary clang of “Rolling Stone”), Black Milk, the Alchemist and frequent
collaborator Paul White, the album is full of laser-beam guitars, gym-teacher
whistles, creaking vocal samples, and air-raid drones. It is the most
intriguing take on hallucinatory rap since the heady heights of Cold Vein or
Madvillainy. Known for his wide range of collaborations, including everyone
from Purity Ring, the Avalanches and Rustie to Schoolboy Q, E-40, and
Ghostface Killah, Atrocity Exhibition sees a continuation of this carefully
curated mix. Kelela lends her snaking vocals to the intriguingly murky “From
the Ground,” Cypress Hill’s B-Real delivers “Get Hi”’s languid hook, and Earl
Sweatshirt, Kendrick Lamar, and Ab-Soul all convene for the twinkling
ominousness of album standout “Really Doe.” “When XXX came out, all of us were
peers, and those were the three rappers who were the best,” Brown explains on
having the star-packed trio appear on the track. “I felt like we were
competitors, they made me want to step my game up. I wanted to put the hottest
rappers in the game on there.” This album is a highly personal take on Brown’s
ruminations on life and the changes that have occurred -and those that didn’t
– following the ups and downs of career success. Atrocity Exhibition makes for
a thrilling third installment in the Danny Brown biopic, one not to be missed.
