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).
Drinks on Me
Danny Brown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Toes lookin' right cause early you got a pedi
You ain't got a man but you got a baby daddy
Go out ya way to get drunk at a party every Saturday
But who am I to judge, baby? Want another drink?
Tonight give me your brain, you ain't gotta think
Just let yourself go, tomorrow blame the alcohol
You ain't got a job, it ain't like you got a class tomorrow
Start being in thoughts cause the party never ends
I.D. say 22, forever 21
Best friend 30, she forever 21
Goin' down the same path, take another sip
Pour another glass, take another hit
I tell you that you're beautiful, your pops never did
Probably why it ain't a pop around for none of yoгк kids
Sorry for puttin' out ya biz
But right now I can't stop lookin' at them tits
And grabbin' on that ass, fillin' up the glass
Get you drunk and fuck you, that's a part of my task
And she really helpin', bein' a real sport about it
Full cup of Goose, pinch of cran and she allowed it
20 minutes later, man, she really all about it
20 minutes later, man, she took a nigga out, kid, drinks on me
Pass the designated driver the keys
And don't worry y'all, drinks on me, so have a toast with me
Bring your I.D. hangin' with me
It's on my tab y'all, drinks on me, so have a toast with me
Hennessey and Grand Cru for me
I take a sip and say free Max B, so have a drink with me
So don't worry y'all, 'bout no fees
I said I got it y'all, drinks on me, so have a drink with me
Say my auntie sort of like an alcoholic
Been drinkin' since the teens, shittin' blood in the toilet
Started real young, nigga pushed the bottle on her
Drunk, fully clothed in tubs, I took showers on her
But I still love her and I live life for her
She ask me for a dollar, I'm gon' give it to her
Stay drinkin' on the brew, keep a can in her hand
Tied grocery bag full of Keystone cans
Alcoholism has poisoned our city
Liquor store on every corner ain't like that in other cities
So you have a drink, take a hit and pass that
Give a buck to a wino help him buy crack
Dwell on the past, lookin' towards tomorrow
Wish I could lend my pain, let you borrow my sorrow
Live where lil' niggas wanna be Chris Partlow
Say fuck the lotto, buck's on a bottle, drinks on me
Pass the designated driver the keys
And don't worry y'all, drinks on me, so have a toast with me
Bring your I.D. hangin' with me
It's on my tab y'all, drinks on me, so have a toast with me
Hennessey and Grand Cru for me
I take a sip and say free Max B, so have a drink with me
So don't worry y'all, 'bout no fees
I said I got it y'all, drinks on me, so have a drink with me
The lyrics to Danny Brown's song "Drinks on Me" portray a woman who is a single mother that enjoys partying and getting drunk every Saturday. Her financial standing is questionable with no job and borrowing a purse for the night. Danny Brown's lyrics suggest that the woman uses alcohol as a means of escape from her troubles, and he encourages her to indulge and let loose. He promises to pay for her drinks while also objectifying her body and encouraging her to engage in promiscuous behavior. The song also touches on the theme of alcoholism within the community, as Brown reflects on his aunt's struggles with alcohol and the prevalence of liquor stores in his city. The lyrics depict a bleak picture of a woman and a community struggling with addiction and the social and economic issues that come with it.

Traducción de la canción
Tienes tu necesidad para cuidar a tu bebé
Los dedos de los pies se ven bien porque temprano tienes un pedi
No tienes un hombre pero tienes un bebé papá
Sal a emborracharte en una fiesta todos los sábados
¿Pero quién soy yo para juzgar, bebé? ¿Quieres otro trago?
Esta noche dame tu cerebro, no tienes que pensar
Sólo déjate llevar, mañana culpe al alcohol
No tienes trabajo, no es como si tuvieras una clase mañana
Encontrar un bolso para pedir prestado, beats es como tus amigos
Comienza a estar en pensamientos porque la fiesta nunca termina
CARNÉ DE IDENTIDAD. decir 22, para siempre 21
Mejor amiga 30, ella siempre 21
Tomando el mismo camino, toma otro sorbo
Vierta otro vaso, tome otro golpe
Te digo que eres hermosa, tus pops nunca lo hicieron
Probablemente por qué no es popular para ninguno de tus hijos
Perdón por dejar de lado el negocio
Pero ahora no puedo dejar de mirarles las tetas
Y agarrando ese culo, llenando el cristal
Emborracharte y follarte, eso es parte de mi tarea
Y ella realmente ayudó, siendo un verdadero deporte al respecto. Copa llena de ganso, pizca de cran y lo permitió 20 minutos después, hombre, ella realmente lo hizo. 20 minutos después, hombre, se quitó un negro, chico, bebidas encima de mí Pasa las llaves al conductor designado
Y no te preocupes, bebe de mí, así que da un brindis conmigo. Trae tu I.D. colgándome Está en mi cuenta, beben, así que brinden por mí Hennessey y Grand Cru. Tomo un sorbo y digo Max B, así que tómense una copa conmigo. Así que no se preocupen. 'todo', sin honorarios
Dije que lo conseguí, bebe conmigo, así que bebe un trago conmigo di mi tía como un alcohólico
He estado bebiendo desde la adolescencia, mierda de sangre en el baño
Comenzó muy joven, nigga empujó la botella sobre ella
Borracho, completamente vestido en tinas, me duché sobre ella
Pero todavía la amo y vivo la vida para ella
Me pide un dólar, voy a darlo a ella
Quédate bebiendo en la infusión, ten una lata en la mano
Bolsa de supermercado atada llena de latas de Keystone
El alcoholismo ha envenenado nuestra ciudad
La licorería en cada esquina no es así en otras ciudades
Entonces, toma una copa, recibe un golpe y pasa eso
Dale un dólar a un wino para ayudarlo a comprar crack
Permanece en el pasado, mirando hacia el mañana
Ojalá pudiera prestar mi dolor, deja que me prestes mi pena
Vive donde lil 'niggas quiere ser Chris Partlow
Di la mierda a la lotería, el dinero está en una botella, bebe de mí

This is one of his older songs. Was like that for me too the first time i heard this album when i was trying to get into his music. I thought this was a featured rapper or something. He does change up his delivery on some songs. He does it a lot on XXX.
