Danny Brown’s Atrocity Exhibition album dropped a few days early and is now available for streaming.
The LP, which is inspired by a song from rock band Joy Division and an experimental collection of stories from J.G. Ballard, is made up of 15 tracks. Kendrick Lamar, Ab-Soul and Earl Sweatshirt appear on “Really Doe.” Other guest appearances come from Petite Noir, Kelela and B-Real.
The Detroit artist says that he released the project early because he “couldn’t wait any longer.”

The Detroit rapper took to Instagram to share the lines of Joy Division’s “Atrocity Exhibition” song, a cut from the rock band’s 1980 album, Closer. The title of that song comes from J.G. Ballard‘s experimental collection of stories from 1970.
Last month, Brown said that he was putting the finishing touches on what we now know as Atrocity Exhibition with TDE’s in-house engineer, Ali.
Brown’s last full-length release was 2013’s Old, which featured Freddie Gibbs, Ab-Soul, ScHoolboy Q and A$AP Rocky. Brown appeared on Rocky’s Long.Live. A$AP album cut “1 Train” alongside Kendrick Lamar, Yelawolf, Action Bronson, Big K.R.I.T. and Joey Bada$$. The 35-year-old also served as an opening act for Rocky and Tyler, The Creator on their joint tour last year.
More recently, he appeared with MF DOOM on “Frankie Sinatra,” the lead-off single from The Avalanches’ Wildflower album.
