Atrocity Exhibition CD

Danny Brown’s third album landed through Warp Records and Fool’s Gold, pulling its title from a J.G. Ballard novel and a Joy Division song that shares it. The guest list keeps to specific tracks rather than crowding the whole disc: Kendrick Lamar, Ab-Soul, and Earl Sweatshirt join "Really Doe," Kelela takes "From the Ground," and B-Real shows up on "Get Hi" alone. Paul White produced most of it, and it closed out with an 85 on Metacritic and a shortlist spot for Impala’s European Independent Album of the Year.
