Danny Brown is interesting, to say the least.  If his half-shaved head and missing front teeth are not enough proof, listen to his music.

Brown has one of the most unique voices in hip-hop today.  It is raw, nasal and different from any rapper in the game.  When Brown is featured on a track, there is no question as to who it is.

Brown’s lyrics are rather unconventional.  They’re bold, brash and at times uncomfortable.  He sings of the typical rap fare — women, drugs, expensive items—but does so in a way that is blunt and unapologetic.  This in-your-face style is espcecially prevalent in his live shows.

Danny Brown’s greatest strength as a rapper is not any one of these traits, but rather the combination of them.  When a person with a mowhawk missing his front teeth starts boldly rapping in a style unheard of before, it is difficult not to take note.

The critics, however, have taken note of Brown.  He is “hilariously funny, an endlessly inventive rapper driven to cook up outrageous variations on standard rap boasts,” according to Pitchfork.

Brown will be performing as only he can on the Blue Stage, Nov. 3 at 7 p.m.
