In 2011, hip hop artists from Detroit have continued to create some of the most celebrated music in the genre, and no one is raising the standard in the underground as high as Black Milk and Danny Brown. After their collaborative track "Black and Brown" from Black's LP Album of the Year became a fan favorite, the two decided to record an entire EP together, fittingly titled Black and Brown. While the aforementioned track appears on the EP, the remainder of Black And Brown sees Danny Brown exclusively handling mic duties, with Black Milk showcasing his masterful production.
Black Milk's Album of the Year dropped in September 2010 to strong reviews and an impressive showing on the Billboard charts, and his stock has continued to rise ever since. Performing with a live band for over 80 shows on a worldwide tour in support of the album, he has established himself as one of rap's best live performers. He also became the first rap artist to record and release music with rock superstar Jack White, who co-produced and played on the much-publicized "Brain" 7-inch single on White's label Third Man Records. Never straying from his hip hop roots, Black Milk also serves as a member of the group Random Axe (with Sean Price and Guilty Simpson, and entirely produced their successful self-titled 2011 full-length release.
Danny Brown first gained wide recognition with the release of his album The Hybrid as a free download in March 2010. Since the release, he's emerged as one of rap's most distinct new voices. The shock value of his drug-fueled and sex-laden rhyming has been frequently compared to the early works of Eminem, and his ear for progressive beats as well as his unique fashion sense has made him a favorite with critics. His latest project XXX was released as a free download in August 2011, and was instantly hailed as one of the top rap albums of the year by artists and fans alike, while receiving heavy coverage from media outlets like Pitchfork, MTV, and The Fader.

Danny Brown & Black Milk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now I gotcha bitch chokin' on this dick long strokin'
Everyday; bone smokin'
Champagne; glass toastin'
Suckin' on this sex pistol 'bout to blow her brains open
Used to fuck with rat bitches
Now I fuck with bad bitches
And dog you never had bitches
Dog I came from rag to riches
Now I got your bitch permission
Squirtin' on her lips and when you home you gon' kiss her
Take a nigga head off
Like a hot mascot
Tell me why your breath be smellin'
Like a burnin' bag of fag cock
Blowin' on some apricot
Crib like Camelot
Thinking of the days when I was countin' up my sack of rock
Leave ya with a scar face
'Cause you niggas rap a lot
Nigga you a ?
Homie I'm a long grenade
Found them yellow diamonds have a nigga leakin' lemonade
Nigga you bitch man
'Bout to need first aid
Dog I'm on the grind
Like an old stripper
In a room full of virgin nerds and fat niggas
Now we pack swishers
Drink straight liquor
Make ya bitch go down low and lick your sister
Ghetto ass nigga got dressed on suburban
Rap niggas gettin jerked
Ain't no Jergens
Fuck so bad in they ass fit Excursions
Detroit niggas got it wrapped like turbans
The lyrics to Danny Brown & Black Milk's song Dada are explicit and could be seen as controversial due to their graphic sexual references and the use of strong language. The song explores themes of power, success, and self-validation. The first verse establishes the transformation that the singer has undergone - from being someone who struggled to afford basic food to now living a luxurious lifestyle and having women at his beck and call. He describes his current sexual prowess as being capable of making a woman choke just from the intensity of his thrusting, and how he is constantly surrounded by hedonistic pleasures, symbolized by the champagne he drinks. The second verse contrasts this success with the past, specifically middle school days when he claims to have been unsuccessful with women. This verse is also notable for being more violent, with the singer describing the harm he could inflict upon someone's head and the cause of a bad smell that emanates from someone. The last part of the verse is a callback to his origins in drug dealing, with the mention of "counting up my sack of rock." The third verse is perhaps the most intense, with a graphic description of sexual acts involving a sister, and the singer scorning those who pretend to be tough but in reality, are not.
