Danny Brown is a vexing chained puppet in new 'Pneumonia' video
Bloody-mouthed with Ronald Reagan
Danny Brown, in classic Danny Brown fashion, has shared a new music video that is puzzling, disturbing and impossible to look away from.
Debuting today, the 'Pneumonia' trip shows the Detroit rapper held up in chains by a mysterious puppeteer, erratically pulled by his limbs in abrupt directions and forcefully dropped on the ground. Quite possibly a social statement of sorts, the video also cuts to rolls of Ronald Reagan and a depiction of Brown as a politician shouting at a podium. Lyrics hold vicious and explicit verses standard to Brown's provocative flow with themes of drug use and sexual escapades.
The track, produced by Evian Christ, is the ninth original off of Danny's 'Atrocity Exhibition', which dropped unexpectedly three days before its official release date.
