Danny Brown‘s ability to oscillate between a high-pitched nasal voice and a throaty snarl landed him the title of “The Hybrid.” This oscillation appeared to have ceased in the past year or so, with Danny more frequently adopting the nasal approach for debauched dance and drug anthems, but “Side A” brings that old snarl to life, along with the conditions that bred it. Rapping over a weighted and frenetic Paul White instrumental, Danny takes us to his old haunts, reminding us of the  crime, despair and ugly coats of paint that characterized his life merely a few years ago. Listen below. Old will be here on September 30.

There’s also a trailer for the album.
