Danny Brown has shared the music video for his recent track ‘Y.B.P.’ and announced a UK and European tour for 2024.
‘Y.B.P.’ featuring Bruiser Wolf appeared on the US rapper and singer’s 2023 album ‘Quaranta’, his first full-length solo outing in four years.
Brown and Bruiser Wolf star in the new music video as a claymation versions of themselves roaming around their home city, as they reflect on being “young, black and poor being raised in Detroit”.
The video was created by UK-based directors and animators Edem Wornoo and Will Child. Check it out below.
‘Quaranta’ was released digitally in November and will be available on vinyl from Friday (January 19) via Warp Records.
Alongside the video drop, Brown has announced a 21-date tour of the UK and Europe in support of the new album, which follows the previously announced North American tour taking place in March.
Brown will kick off the UK leg at John Dee in Oslo, Norway, before stopping off in Copenhagen, Berlin, Vienna, Prague and more. He’ll start the UK run on May 22 at O2 Forum Kentish Town in London, with further shows planned for Birmingham, Manchester, Glasgow and more.
