“Right now, hip-hop is in a phase where people want to see it experimented with.”

Those are the words of Detroit-native and 2012 XXL Freshman Cover emcee Danny Brown. And the animated rapper couldn’t be more precise.

The nasal-toned emcee teamed up with Adidas & VICE for an exclusive three part web series entitled “Hybrid Talk,” featuring both performance and interview footage, as well as exclusive commentary from rappers El-P and Childish Gambino and Fool’s Gold founder Nick Catchdubs.

“This is the first time in a long time that you have hip-hop fans that are open minded,” said Brown. “And it’s a big deal.”

The wild boy discusses his decision to drop out of high school, how he protects his now signature vocals, his wardrobe obsessions and his plans to boss his lane in hip-hop.
