Danny Brown + Clams Casino - Worth It
The Adult Swim TV channel has been involved with quality tunes throughout time including in house production by Flying Lotus on short commercials and transitions. Now the Adult Swim singles progam is underway and has brought together the collaborative efforts of Danny Brown and Clams Casino. Danny Brown’s ‘Ain’t It Funny’ music video is a sitcom horror directed by Jonah Hill. Plus 'Worth It', a collaboration with Clams Casino previously unavailable on vinyl.
Outlandish Detroit emcee, Danny Brown, and pioneering producer Clams Casino are two artists who we’re always on the lookout for new music from. As of late, though, they’ve both been relatively quiet–Brown only appearing occasionally since the release of his phenomenal 2013 album Old and Clams popping up sparsely, but memorably, over the last two years. Thanks to the always-dope Adult SwimSingles series, though, we’ve got a brand new collab between the two living legends that perhaps also provides some insight into what’s been on their minds.
Danny Brown Clam Casino Worth It
On “Worth It,” both artists prove that they haven’t lost a step as Clams Casino crafts eerie sonics built around bewildering percussion. Brown at first seems to be spitting typical, yet still impressive, boastful raps about the celebrity lifestyle but when the chorus hits he asks the question of whether the material rewards of fame are a gift or a curse. On social media and in interviews, Brown has alluded to his struggles with addiction as it relates to fame, which may partially be his reason for laying low, and this song definitely echoes some of those sentiments without losing site of his signature, bombastic delivery.
Listen to this powerful, thought-provoking cut and grab a free download above. Danny Brown is right in questioning America’s celebrity culture, but what is “Worth It” is touching the world with your music and that’s undeniably something both of these artists have succeeded in doing thus far.
