Danny Brown, Hook, and Bruiser Wolf at Irving Plaza

On Saturday, March 16, 2024, the tour in support of Danny Brown’s Quaranta came to New York City for a date at Irving Plaza. There were opening sets by his tourmates Bruiser Wolf (of Detroit, MI) and Hook (of Riverside, CA), and Danny performed in NYC on his 43rd birthday.

I covered the fun show for Impose Magazine and this was my first time catching a live set from Brown in a really long time, and I’m so grateful that I was able be there. The full gallery on Impose can be found here.

Decibel Boost Album Roundup (MAK Music version) – JANUARY & FEBRUARY

Yeah, this is going to be a thing on here now!

So…. Remember back around July/August that I did a written version of my usual album roundup I do in audio along with my co-horts at Decibel Boost Podcast and since this is the beginning of 2024, you know around January, things are a bit slow. Hell, that was that month and February for me. I think I might have about 6 albums to talk about in total for both months. There might be some albums I…

Danny Brown - Y.B.P. (feat. Bruiser Wolf)

[yourolddunsparce]

Y.O.D here signing on,

If you’re all unaware, there is a reddit user by the tag of u/DropWatcher that compiles a list of hip hop related content that drops approximately every week. While r/hiphopheads has arguably fallen off in terms of actual discussion, these weekly drops are a fantastic way to view new and upcoming talent, or maybe there’s a drop from your favorite artist you missed because it’s not on streaming! These threads are simply a godsend, and this account deserves all the praise in the world.

When I was originally writing this post, it was last week, and the biggest drops of the week were a JID freestyle and a surprise album from The Game. In that span, we've gotten drops from the likes of 21 Savage, Kid Cudi, Boldy James, Bruiser Wolf, and a Lil Nas X single. My ass is slacking, but I can't let procrastination get another dub, so we stay grinding.

We are so fucking back.

JID - 30 (Freestyle)

Listen, when I hear that Conductor tag, I have to lock the fuck in. Conductor Williams broke through 2023 with some major placements for Drake with a few tracks off of For All The Dogs and it’s ensuing Scary Hours edition (8AM in Charlotte, Stories About My Brother) on top of his regularly scheduled tracks with Westside Gunn (Suicide in Selfridges, The Revenge of Flips Leg). These productions were the most prolific among a busy year that included collaborations with the likes of Rome Streetz, Little Brother, and a full fledged EP with Conway the Machine. I say all this to outline how quickly his demand is rising in comparison to where he was a few years ago, where he described himself in 2016 as “eating shit” for about 2 years in this video regarding his music placements. Now he’s here working with Christo (An underrated producer in his own part) and Tane Runo to lay beats down for JID, a superstar further asserting his prowess with this freestyle.

For those not yet aware of JID, I'm sorry to say you're lying. A top 5 Billboard 100 hit in Enemy with Imagine Dragons (derogatory) and his critically acclaimed "The Forever Story" highlight his ever growing career, and if this single is anything to go by, his momentum isn't stopping anytime soon. His braggadocios bars aren't anything particularly special for the Atlanta native, but he still sounds as hungry as ever, especially towards the latter half of the track. He's set the stage for a huge year with an upcoming feature on Lyrical Lemonade's ALL IS YELLOW compilation album (dropping Jan. 26th) and Forever & A Day, an album previously teased on his Instagram Live. While he states in this live that the album would drop "coming fall time," this live was made at the end of August of last year. Whether it will drop remains to be seen, but for now, we can enjoy him talking his shit over this funky, bass-laden beat.

The Game & Big Hit - Paisley Dreams

This highlight is a little different, as I don't necessarily think this is a great project for either artist. I showcase this project more so to put eyes on Big-Hit, the previously incarcerated father of producer Hit-Boy, who's fresh off a 6 album run with Nas, my personal pick for the greatest rapper of all time. The King's Disease and Magic trilogies are some of the best work Nas has put out in his 34-year long career, largely due to the variety of beats Hit-Boy put him on. Without diverting too much from my main objective here, I wanted to highlight the insane work ethic of the 36-year old California native who managed to produce, among other projects:

The final installments of the Magic trilogy with Magic 2 and Magic 3

Two solo albums, one that features his father heavily

A few singles for artists like Benny the Butcher and Rapsody

The one I wanted to draw more eyes on, however, is his work with Big-Hit on his debut solo project, The Truth Is In My Eyes. With respect to Paisley Dreams, TTIIME (get used to nonsensical acronyms) is a much better showcase for Big-Hit, who still sounds quite nice for being in prison for 30 years. He clearly didn't stop writing even in prison, and he's able to hang in with a cast of solid features and guest producers (Snoop Dogg, Benny the Butcher, The Alchemist). In comparison to Paisley Dreams, Big-Hit is content leaning into an aggressive delivery, trading lyrical depth to become an energetic foil to The Game. The Game can still pack a few punches with his lines, "I keep a blower, Nintendo cartridge" is the only instance I've heard someone spit this bar. Considering this tape was supposedly conceived in an entire night, it's an impressive flex for all artists involved.

Da Flyy Hooligan & Wun Two - Nocturnal Hooli Vol. 1

A small, yet grimy EP from two artists I was either barely or not familiar with at all. You may recognize Wun Two from their collaboration tape with Conway the Machine last year, a small addition to an extensive list of drops from the Buffalo native. I certainly didn't recognize Da Flyy Hooligan, however, and I have to apologize for not being familiar with your game. He's actually had a few tracks with Griselda affiliates on some previous tracks of his, including Keisha Plum, Camouflage Monk, and the Flygod himself. You can give them a listen on his tape Hooli Hansen -0 Da Mixxxtape. I don't particularly fuck with the U.K's rap talent, but Hooli (can I call him that?) showcases his storytelling abilities specifically on the tracks Lifechecc and Exzhibit. Combined with Wun Two's signature haunting production, which I can only describe as lo-fi Griseldacore, it all comes together for a neat little project. If you're a fan of any Griselda adjacent projects, this is definitely worth your time.

Nicholas Craven & Boldy James - Penalty of Leadership

Ever since I discovered the fantastic Manger on McNichols late last year, I've been craving for Boldy James to drop, especially after a relatively quiet 2023 by his standards. It's entirely understandable, however, as he was still quite fresh from a car crash that required extensive neck surgery. Three days removed from the anniversary of that car crash, he dropped his second collaboration album with Nicholas Craven, who stated he was recording his verses as early as 5 days after being discharged from the hospital. Needless to say, his work ethic is fucking inhuman, and he's still spitting some of his slickest bars to date over Craven's signature drumless loops.

Browsing a few music sites, you might find a little criticism for the simplistic loops that Craven seems comfortable sticking with, but I've always enjoyed the unique samples he seems to dig up. Jack Frost is probably my favorite example of this, as it puts Boldy over an upbeat, 70's sounding beat that emphasizes the strings and vocals to craft a catchy track, setting up the album well for what's to come. Boldy himself sounds a little deeper then previous efforts, but it's easy enough to attribute that to his injury and growing age (he's 41 what the fuck!!!). It doesn't affect his actual rapping abilities in the slightest, however, and he still maintains a smooth flow across the project while spitting about his daughter getting good grades in the middle of a coke rap track. Favorites off this album have to be Straight As, Evil Genius, All My Tokens (that guitar fucking hits), No Pun Intended, and the aforementioned Jack Frost. A worthwhile project from both artists.

Lil Nas X - J CHRIST

Every day Lil Nas X succeeds is a day we collectively continue to win as a people. He literally recreated Jesus crossing up the devil, what more could you want in a music video?!

Dave East could never.

In all seriousness though, I'm not crazy about the track. It's a fine comeback track, but the HUMBLE piano doesn't do it for me, and I'd like to see LNX pop off with a different soundscape every once in awhile. It's not my favorite hook either, and it's not the most lyrically verbose track, but it's a catchy single, who am I to expect a masterpiece? Hoping an album announcement is on the way, Montero was a great project and I'd love to see what else he has in store!

I'll post tomorrow about 21 Savage, Bruiser Wolf, and Kid Cudi after I digest their projects more, because I admittedly only had 2 Bad on repeat this entire weekend. Sorry to say, but song of the fucking century. Bruiser Wolf on top. Your favorite could never. GGs to everyone for trying.

Y.O.D, goin crazy on the pole, bipolar...BRUISER
