Danny Brown Announces New Tour In Support of Atrocity Exhibition Album
By Rapstation Editor for Rapstation.com
Danny Brown certainly has a few things up his sleeves for 2016. Thus far, he's premiered a documentary on his first hometown performance in years, and he's released “When It Rain,” his new single that manages to be simultaneously bewildering and hypnotic. Just yesterday, however, Danny Brown gave us another glimpse into what he has in store for the year when he announced his new album, Atrocity Exhibition, and the dates for the country-wide tour in support of this hotly-anticipated album. The album's title is inspired by a song from post-punk band Joy Division's 1980 album, Closer.
Brown's last album, Old, came out in 2013, and it featured guest appearances from Freddie Gibbs, Ab-Soul, Schoolboy Q, A$AP Rocky, and Purity Ring. Last year, Brown performed as the opening act for the joint tour between Rocky and Tyler, The Creator. His most recent appearance was with MF Doom on The Avalanches' song “Frankie Sinatra.” Brown's tour begins on September 14th in Philadelphia and ends on November 5th in Cleveland. Maxo Kream and Zelooperz will the be the opening acts.
