Danny Brown Discusses His Love For Sufjan Stevens, Natalie Prass
Danny Brown has been extremely active on Twitter in the past couple of days, responding to fans’ questions in a kind of unofficial, no-time-limit AMA and pretty much just talking about whatever he feels like talking about. And apparently, as Pitchfork points out, what he feels like talking about is mostly Sufjan Stevens and Natalie Prass, who he thinks released two of the best albums of 2015. (We agree.) Check out some of his tweets and opinions below.
Sufjan Stevens "Carrie & Lowell"and Natalie Prass self titled was my favorite releases of last year
