Danny Brown —
Atrocity Exhibition
Big surprise right? Yeah...
Danny Brown delivered his magnum opus in 2016 and I liked it quite a bit. Reaching new levels of manic energy, he managed to fuse techno, post-punk, soul and pretty much everything else into a melting pot of F
uckin' A. This album essentially claimed his spot as my favourite Hip Hop artist of all time.
Aside from that, we have a reasonably varied selection of albums here. Post-Punk, Bubblegum Bass, Dance Pop, jazzy/instrumental/classical reinterpretations of
Twin Peaks songs and whatever the f
uck that
William S. Burroughs album is supposed to be. Believe me, there's dozens of albums that could have made the list. EP's, compilations, mixtapes, LP's and even some mashup albums. Truly jam packed with great s
hit.
2016 has been an incredible year for music, even if we had to see many of it's Legends pass away in the process. And it is a reminder that it's not a bad thing to look forward occasionally, you might just like it.
So here's those albums, in order. Enjoy folks:
