Danny Brown – “Brown Eyes”
- Danny Brown plays Neumos tonight with Das Racist
Danny Brown grew up in Detroit’s rough Linwood neighborhood and racked up F’s all through high school; he went for the free lunches and fucked off the rest of the time.
(Brown scoffs when I tell him he seems like a smart, well-educated cat, judging from his verses.) His friends were making bank by selling drugs, so Brown quit his wack restaurant job and got into the weed- and crack-peddling game. He told Detroit’s Metro Times that he once sold crack to a pregnant woman. Through an accumulation of minor legal violations tangentially related to his dealing, Brown got locked up for about a year in the Wayne County jail system.
