Last month in Glasgow, Scotland, Danny Brown sat down with journalist Hattie Collins as part of the Red Bull Music Academy lecture series. The resulting 80-minute video is below, for your viewing pleasure. One highlight includes Brown revealing that he would like to work with Nine Inch Nails mastermind Trent Reznor (another Detroit artist, the late Aaliyah, was reportedly in talks to collaborate with Reznor back in 2000). Later that evening, Brown would storm offstage after a fan pelted him with a drink.
Leyland “Lee” DeVito is the editor in chief of Detroit Metro Times since 2016. His writing has also been published in CREEM, VICE, In These Times, and New City. He once asked porn star Stormy Daniels to spank him with an issue of Metro Times. She obliged.
