Danny Brown is Writing a Children's Book

Currently working on the followup to 2013’s Old, Danny Brown also has an unexpected side project in the works. With his 13-year-old daughter in mind, Brown is working on a Dr. Seuss inspired children’s book. “It’s really about self-esteem in black girls,” he explains on Australian radio station triple j during promotions for his tour. ”You know how black women do so much – process their hair, change their eye color? It’s really about a little girl who does all these things to herself and changes herself, and she realizes she’s just better off the way she is.”
Despite it “taking [him] forever to finish” the Detroit rapper is adamant of its Dr. Seuss influences, ”I don’t know how Dr. Seuss did it. I don’t know how he wrote The Grinch and Green Eggs And Ham and One Fish, Two Fish – what was going on in that guy’s brain to be able to write those things?”

In addition to explaining his children’s book, he also drops brief word on his upcoming album. “[I'm] pretty much just working with the same producers I work with, Paul White and SKYWLKR,” he said. ”I went to L.A. and worked with the Alchemist for like a week – I think I have one that’s going to stick on the album.” Looking to top his previous album he notes the meticulous process he has taken for the fourth album. ”I listen to [2013's] and it’s like, ‘I don’t know how I’m gonna beat this one.’ I’m really, really trying my hardest to just make the best possible music I can make for the people.”

No news on when either of these two projects will drop however in the meantime you can enjoy the interview via Soundcloud stream down below.
