Danny Brown has been pretty quiet since 2013 album Old, but returns in September with the follow-up Atrocity Exhibition, which is set to be a return to the deranged sound of XXX.

It’s mostly all about Danny himself, but it has a couple of impressive features in there, namely Kendrick Lamar, Ab-Soul and Earl Sweatshirt on track 3 ‘Really Doe’.

Kendrick has, of course, worked with fellow Black Hippy member Ab-Soul a ton of times, but the track marks his first collaboration with Earl.

Last year, in a surprise Twitter Q&A, K-Dot was asked: “Who’s your favourite artist in the game right now?”

“Earl Sweatshirt.” he responded.

Cypress Hill's B-Real and Kelela also appear o Atrocity Exhibition, but Danny stressed to Rolling Stone: “I’m pretty much the main star of this show, as always.”

RS said that the tracks from the album they’ve ‘heard sound like a return to the noise-flecked, sample-crazed delirium of Brown's 2011 breakthrough XXX after the more EDM-influenced detour of 2013's Old.’

"With Old, I wanted to have those performance songs so I can play those shows," Brown added. "That was what was a part of my world, doing festivals. Whereas this album is just my sound. This is Danny Brown."

Atrocity Exhibition is set for release on iTunes on 30 September, 2016.
