Produced by The Alchemist, ‘Tantor’ has Brown’s signature rap style alongside a rock guitar sample.
The UNCANNY-directed music video is packed with computer-based effects, with Brown, dressed entirely out of IT tech, approaching real people on the street.

He will also be on a small tour with singular shows this winter in the cities of Detroit, London, Brooklyn and Los Angles. Get tickets to his tour here.
