Announced along with the release date of Danny Brown's up coming album, Old , set to be released on september 30th. This is actually the second released from his soon to be new album the first being kush coma which featured A$ap Rocky.
ODB, which stands for "Old Danny Brown" sounds quite particular from start to finish, it's production in particular. The song features a mixture of production styles which sound like a fusion of chill wave, ,electronic, of course hip hop ,and even seems to sample a slowed psychedelic down tune most likely coming from the 60s. The production also fluctuates in speed, adding a sort of melting and mind bending effect. During my first listen, I found that Danny's flow wasn't fitting the beat as it seems too fast, but this thought quickly disappeared into my second listen. This song is arguably more serious and innovative then anything he released in XXX, which was not set in the same direction as Danny Brown wants Old to. The delivery to this song is definitely fast, energetic and really hits you verse after verse. Danny Brown's easily recognizable voice fits the production as they both sound a bit deranged, or crazy. This song got me a lot for excited for Old and made it, for me, an anticipated 2013 release. 7.9/10
