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.
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.
It just makes sense to get excited when you see the names 'Danny Brown' and 'Clams Casino' next to each other. The two have teamed up on a new track called 'Worth It,' which they've contributed to. The collaboration is free to download at 4pm. The ninth instalment of ‘Adult Swim Singles' is a Danny Brown and Clams Casino team-up, Worth It. Listen to the track below and download it here from 4pm today.
