Danny Brown is a true rap original. His songs are as profane as they are profound, mixing heartfelt personal narratives and razor-sharp social commentary with hedonistic party beats and hysterical, pitch-black punchlines. His personal style is as unique as his music, an inspiration to high fashion designers and legions of devoted fans alike. Danny's Fool's Gold debut XXX
was a free release that snowballed into the year's most critically-lauded rap album, landing the Detroit hero on the covers of The Fader, XXL and Wax Poetics, and follow-up single "Grown Up" was a viral video smash that brought Danny an mtvU Woodie Award and millions of YouTube views.

Now, after two solid years of universal acclaim and non-stop touring around the globe, Danny jumps from "artist to watch" to undeniable icon with his magnum opus, Old. This emotionally-charged concept album is an intoxicating mix of Danny at his most experimental AND most accessible, balancing hip-hop grit with electronic club sonics and much, much more. Featuring guest appearances from A$AP Rocky, Schoolboy Q, Freddie Gibbs, Purity Ring, Charli XCX, and more over production from the likes of A-Trak and Rustie, Old is a psychedelic portrait of rap's most vital and exciting new star.


It’s easy to relate to someone who has shared the same experiences and endeavored the same struggles of societies misfits and outcasts. Especially when you yourself have a story that burrows deep in emotions throughout darker chapters of your life. Burden, often refers to himself and his listeners as “The Underdogs”, meaning the less fortunate, the misunderstood, and the more corrupted. He demonstrates pride in these features with his filterless honesty in which has been known to get him into trouble every now and again. But that might be just the thing that makes him stand out even more as an artist. 

Born Kenneth Bartels in Akron, Ohio, Burden had seen his father only a few times he can recall before his mother needing to rehabilitate herself from hard drug use took him and his sister Jessica to Tampa, Florida when he was around the age of 5. Where they would then begin a new life.

“I feel like all of it was for a reason. You have to understand there is no good without bad. I believe firmly in blessings whether they are bold and obvious or covered in disguise It’s funny but this damn Joe Dirt line sticks with me. he says; “you just gotta keep on keepin on man”. And that’s something I try to demonstrate, drive,” says Burden.
