Danny Brown

Danny Brown’s career is the uncompromising work of a virtuosic talent who understands how to use his unique personality as a vicious instrument. There is the lingering sense of paranoia, the requisite survivor’s guilt and anxiety, but also hysterical punchlines and party anthems built to cause speakers to crumble into ashes. He is one of the most sought-after global performers and offers a unique contrast of best rapper alive, reflection and celebration in each performance. Friday 10pm, Mix Up
