danny brown's new album is.... interesting

Last Friday, rapper Danny Brown released his latest album, Stardust, and it is a very interesting album, to say the least, but it's safe to say that I enjoyed it.

This album is packed with numerous features from lots of artists from the hyperpop/digicore scene, artists like Quadeca, underscores, Jane Remover, Frost Children, and even atmospheric dnb producers like Cynthoni. In fact, the album is mostly entirely features, with there being only 2 tracks without a feature, Starburst and Lift You Up. Starburst was my least favorite song off of the album, the beat honestly just doesn't sound good to me, and I feel that his vocals do not fit the beat at all. On the contrary, Lift You Up was one of my favorite songs off of the album. Danny Brown rapping over a UKG/house beat was surprisingly a good fit for him. Lift You Up is such a vibe.

The most disappointing song off of the album for me would have to be All4U featuring Jane Remover. Jane Remover didn't even have vocals on this song, it was just Danny talking over a stripped version of the song Twice Removed off of Jane's album Revengeseekerz. I really wish that Jane had a genuine feature on this album.

An underrated feature off of this album is ISSBROKIE's feature on Whatever The Case. ISSBROKIE is an artist that got a lot of hate online for being corny and for overall being a bad rapper, but honestly, she had a really good verse on this track, and dare I say even outshined Danny Brown on this track.

I think my favorite song off of this album would have to be The End. Cynthoni's production, combined with Danny's verses on this 8-minute-long track, goes beautifully together, and this song alone is why I would rate this album a 7.
