Danny Brown – Atrocity Exhibition (2xLP)

For the posse track "Detroit vs. Everybody" he teamed up with Eminem, Dej Loaf, Royce da 5'9", Big Sean and Trick Trick, and he also lent his voice to the legendary The Avalanches for their comeback album this year. Since he doesn't mince his words on 'Atrocity Exhibition' and in a way distils the high-proof essence of his creative approach, Danny has also made sure that the choice of guests is exactly right: Kelela contributes her snake-like vocals in the case of the insanely sinister 'From The Ground', B-Real from Cypress Hill, an old hemp specialist, is responsible for the deeply relaxed hook of 'Get Hi', and with Earl Sweatshirt, Kendrick Lamar and Ab-Soul, three young high-carat musicians for the ominously dazzling 'Really Doe', who he considers to be the best rappers currently available, step up to the microphone.
