As if following up 2013’s phenomenal album Old weren’t enough of a challenge, Detroit rap god Danny Brown is also becoming a children’s book author. In a recent interview with Australian radio station Triple J, Brown cited inspiration from Dr. Seuss and his 13-year-old daughter:
“It’s really about self-esteem in black girls … You know how black women do so much – process their hair, change their eye color? It’s really about a little girl who does all these things to herself and changes herself, and she realizes she’s just better off the way she is.”
The emcee also offered a little a insight into his new album: “[I’m] pretty much just working with… Paul White and SKYWLKR.” As always, he’s aiming to top his previous efforts and diligently working on every detail of the record.
