Danny Brown is finally in album rollout mode. On Thursday (September 5), the Detroit-bred rapper dropped the first taste of the project in the form of “Dirty Laundry,” which comes from his forthcoming uknowhatimsayin¿ album.

The project is executive produced by Q-Tip, marking the first time the A Tribe Called Quest MC has executive produced an album for another artist since Mobb Deep’s The Infamous.

“There was no room for error,” Brown said in a press release. “Q-Tip wanted me to go back to that ‘Greatest Rapper Ever’ era. I almost had to relearn how to rap again,  an ego death type thing. He gave me this whole new outlook on music. I can’t go back to how I was before.”
