Danny Brown announces 2024 UK and European tour dates as he shares ‘Y.B.P.’ video
Danny Brown has shared the music video for his recent track ‘Y.B.P.’ and announced a UK and European tour for 2024.
‘Y.B.P.’ featuring Bruiser Wolf appeared on the US rapper and singer’s 2023 album ‘Quaranta’, his first full-length solo outing in four years.

The video was created by UK-based directors and animators Edem Wornoo and Will Child. Check it out below.
‘Quaranta’ was released digitally in November and will be available on vinyl from Friday (January 19) via Warp Records.
Alongside the video drop, Brown has announced a 21-date tour of the UK and Europe in support of the new album, which follows the previously announced North American tour taking place in March.
