He has been described by MTV as "one of rap's most unique figures in recent memory". Danny is an unconventional hip-hop artist who employs multiple flows and cadences, thus the moniker “The Hybrid”. His style varies from low pitched gravelly tones to a manic, high-pitched squawk. His lyrics often deal with the truth of living in Detroit: poverty, drug abuse, desperate circumstances, etc. and his own experiences in the motor city, from selling drugs to underground parties in Detroit’s rave scene. He is known for juxtaposing those topics with a humorous narrative told ferociously over avant-garde production choices.

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).

[Hook]
She rubbin' all on them titties like my name was Biggie
But I dont know no Diddy, I got that Dirty Money with me
Got some Bobby and that Whitney but Christina and Brittney
She sippy then she get tipsy then she drop it low and get get it

She wit' it I'm wit' it 3x
It's mine she don't get it

[Verse 1]
Fuck all night when I'm on that E, shoulda popped 2 but tonight popped 3
Roll so hard can't feel my knees, 5 in the morning ain't think about sleep
Smoking on that papaya, got a white bitch looks like Mariah
Bet I make her hit that high note when I put this dick up inside her
My outerwear be Moncler, Bonjour, out there
Insane with Balmain, bitch these jeans about a stack a pair
Got henny stains on Givenchy, bitch dont even tempt me
I will take you to my office, make you give me that Lewinsky
Ball so hard when I'm on them (?)
Bitch go figure suck the dick through the drawers
(?)
After this night whore won't even call
Up so high I ain't never gone fall
Pissin on niggas got careers in the stall
Shittin on niggas, leaving streaks in your drawers
Take your top off like a toilet when it's clogged

[Hook]
They say I'm a menace I meant it
(I meant it)
Be more than just a minute
This dick touch your appendix
I said that I'mma do it
So guess what bitch I did
These hoes know that ive done it
So now these bitch's witit

She wit' it I'm wit' it 3x

She rubbin' all on them titties like my name was Biggie
But I dont know no Diddy
I got that Dirty Money with me
Got some Bobby and that Whitney
But Christina and Brittney
She sippy til she get tipsy
Then she drop it low and get get it

She wit' it I wit' it 3x

[Verse 2]
