I picked this up at Record Theatre on Main Street in Buffalo.  The pink vinyl version of Atrocity Exhibition (2016) by Danny Brown imported from Europe.  Record Theatre is the largest and oldest record store in Western New York.  Selling new and used vinyl, CDs, DVDs, etc., they’ve been a fixture in Buffalo since 1976.
If you’re a fan of current hip-hop then you know Danny Brown.  Of all the different MCs in rap today, Danny Brown has some of my favorite guest appearances.  If Danny Brown has a verse on a track, it’s always good.  His solo releases are now highly anticipated among hip-hop fans.
            In some ways you can say that Danny Brown has found even more of his voice on Atrocity Exhibition.  There are some crazy beats on here, which bring out some special moments for Danny.  In certain aspects, you could argue this is Danny Brown’s best album.  His second album, XXX (2011) is already a hip-hop classic.  The follow-up, Old (2013), was great but I found myself listening to Atrocity Exhibition a lot more when I first heard it.  There’s a lot going on lyrically on this album, more so than his previous recordings.  I notice something different in the lyrics or beats each time I listen to it.  I’ve already spun this a bunch of times.
