Danny has released many free projects over the web, the most popular being 2011’s XXX. Brown released the album "Hawaiian Snow” with G-Unit’s Tony Yayo and several mixtapes (Detroit State of Mind 1-4, Browntown, It’s A Art (with producer Mainframe) and Hot Soup). Brown has found much success on the internet through the support of the music blogs and social media and the decision to release “The Hybrid” online as a free download.
Danny has worked with many artists in the Detroit hip-hop community such as the late J Dilla, Black Milk, Elzhi, Guilty Simpson, Trick Trick, and T3. Also known for championing up-and-coming artists, Danny has worked with lesser known acts such as Oakland, California's Main Attrakionz and is know for promoting these types of underground acts via his twitter.
Brown spent most of the summer of 2010 touring with G-Unit, and a few months later released “Hawaiian Snow” with Tony Yayo. Due to lack of promotion the sales were disappointing, however through the G-Unit connection Brown was able to experience firsthand the rigors of touring and the workings of the music industry as a whole. The experience served to jade Danny to the concepts of being on a major label and committing himself to appealing to an urban audience who he felt rejected him because of his look and style of dress which consisted of skinny jeans and vintage tees as 50 Cent refused to sign Danny Brown to G-Unit because he didn’t approve of his distaste for baggy denim. No longer concentrating on appealing to any particular audience, With this new found freedom, Danny delved into making more experimental music based on influences like UK Grime and Progressive Rock.
His experimental sound melded with traditional street narrative has brought about attention from progressive press such as Pitchfork.com, Fader Magazine, Spin Magazine and the like but no press more satisfying than making the cover of the Detroit Metro Times, his hometown’s alternative art’s and culture magazine.
Danny’s music later found a home on Fool’s Gold Records, the independent label helmed by internationally heralded DJ A-Trak and his partner Nick Catchdubs. The label and the artist having the same mindset, the two parties are now focused on releasing his upcoming projects, a free album that released Summer 2011 entitled “XXX” and his untitled Fool’s Gold records debut coming subsequently after.
His albums that followed also received positive feedback (Old, Atrocity Exhibition, U Know What I'm Sayin?).
He then sadly dunked on anyone else who had the misfortune to drop in the calendar year 2023 by dropping album of the decade Scaring the Hoes Vol. 1 with JPEGMAFIA on March 24th. It tragically received praise from disgraced music reviewer the BallDrop, but contrarily to this otherwise mark of disgrace from the worst person we all have the displeasure to be aware of, the album actually fye asl.
You know he had to go two for two on the DLC of Scaring the Hoes on the sacred national holiday of 7/11. No skips all Ws and is not mixed like shit for the "aesthetic" anymore, and JPEGMAFIA dodges the corny allegations by making Danny audible. Great news all around.
On October 17th, he began the rollout for his highly anticapted sixth studio album with the single Tantor (fire as fuck).

Danny Brown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ho, the only thing you gotta know
My dick touch the ground when I'm sittin' on the floor
You think I'm gon' fall off?
I got advice for ya holmes
Fall asleep in your car
In your garage with the engine on
I'm playing ping pong with your bitch jaw
I got the redhead ho
I call her Molly Ringwald
She like to take a lot of Molly
And bring Adderall
Sipping white wine 'til the sunset
Before it got dark she already got naked
Necked her for a second
Then she got reckless
Rump shaker, wrecks and FX'd it
Bum stickity bum stickity bum Das EFX Shit
Left her bum sticky
Fell asleep on the terrace
Me on the beat, that's a hate crime
With black ink, I murder white lines
Baseline
[Verse 2]
What's with all the ho shit?
Your flow's atrocious
The amount of weed I smoke is copious
Eyes red like Soviet
Dog, you're on some bogus shit
These novice poets are not my associates
Ferocious; but the flows inappropriate
But if you approach this they might call encroachment
I'm so bent, oh shit
Got your bitch soakin'
I ain't Clarence Carter
But bitch I be Strokin'
Ho, are you outta your mind?
I tell a bitch like this,
"You are not that fine"
I don't give a bitch shit
No, not a dime
But bitch, for you,
I ain't even got time
The sunshine in the thunder storm
Catching clouds smelling like the green giant underarm
I can never cop her holmes
I just give her Sutter Homes
Nut all on her butt
Wipe it up, then I send her home

The song "Baseline" by Danny Brown is a rap track that is driven by provocative lyrics, bass-heavy beats, and bold metaphors. The lyrics are a blend of humor, explicit sex talk, and social commentary on the state of contemporary hip-hop. The song is divided into two verses, and in the first verse, Brown establishes his authority as a rapper by saying that he can touch the ground with his member. He then proceeds to mock those who doubt him by suggesting they should commit suicide. He also brags about his sexual conquests and his ability to seduce women. Throughout the verse, Brown invokes pop culture references, such as Molly Ringwald and Superman.
In the second verse, Brown continues to flaunt his skills as a rapper by addressing the haters who criticize his style. He dismisses them as "novice poets" and calls out their "ho shit." He also boasts about his drug use and sexual prowess. He quips that he is not Clarence Carter, the famous soul singer, but he is "strokin'." Brown concludes the song by stating that he doesn't pay women for their time, as he is too busy and the sun is shining.
Overall, "Baseline" is a song that both celebrates and subverts contemporary hip-hop tropes. It is a testament to Brown's skills as a performer and his ability to provoke audiences with his lyrics.

Turn on your car engine and let it run with the garage door closed
I'm playing ping pong with your bitch jaw
I'm having sex with your girlfriend's mouth

I got the redhead ho

And bring Adderall
And brings the prescription drug Adderall with her
Sipping white wine 'til the sunset
Drinking white wine while watching the sunset
Before it got dark she already got naked
Before it got too dark, she took her clothes off
Necked her for a second
We briefly kissed
Then she got reckless
Then she became wild and uninhibited
Rump shaker, wrecks and FX'd it
She twerked and made sexually suggestive movements
Bum stickity bum stickity bum Das EFX Shit
A reference to a song by the rap duo Das EFX
Left her bum sticky
I ejaculated on her butt and did not clean it up
Fell asleep on the terrace
I passed out on the rooftop patio
Me on the beat, that's a hate crime
My talent at rapping is so good, it's illegal
With black ink, I murder white lines
My lyrics are so dark and intense, they obliterate the light-hearted nature of other rap songs
What's with all the ho shit?
Why is everyone talking about prostitutes?
Your flow's atrocious
Your rapping is terrible
The amount of weed I smoke is copious
I smoke a lot of marijuana
Eyes red like Soviet
My eyes are red from smoking weed, similar to the red color of the Soviet flag
Dog, you're on some bogus shit
You're acting foolishly and dishonestly
These novice poets are not my associates
I'm not friends with these inexperienced rappers
Ferocious; but the flows inappropriate
Although I have a fierce rapping style, some of my lyrics are offensive
But if you approach this they might call encroachment
If you try to criticize me, it could be seen as an invasion of my space
I'm so bent, oh shit
I'm so high on drugs, it's overwhelming
Got your bitch soakin'
I've made your girlfriend sexually aroused
I ain't Clarence Carter
I'm not the R&B artist Clarence Carter
But bitch I be Strokin'
But I'm still good at having sex
Ho, are you outta your mind?
Are you crazy?
I tell a bitch like this,
I say to a woman like you
"You are not that fine"
"You're not as attractive as you think"
I don't give a bitch shit
I don't care about anyone
No, not a dime
I'm not giving anyone any money
But bitch, for you,
But for you, specifically,
I ain't even got time
I don't even have the time of day for you
The sunshine in the thunder storm
The positive thing in a negative situation
Catching clouds smelling like the green giant underarm
I'm smoking weed and it smells like an armpit
I can never cop her holmes
I could never afford that girl
I just give her Sutter Homes
I just give her cheap wine
Nut all on her butt
I ejaculated on her butt
Wipe it up, then I send her home
I clean her up, then send her away
