In an unlikely turn, Danny Brown has turned his hand to writing children's novels.
In an interview with australian radio station Triple J, the Detroit rapper (who has some very rude lyrics), revealed that he is writing a story for his daughter, inspired by the madness of Dr. Seuss. He also told the interviewers that he is recording like a "maniac" on his new album.
"It's been taking me forever to finish. It's really about self-esteem in black girls, I guess," he told Triple J. "You know how black women do so much - process their hair, change their eye colour -it's really about a little girl who does all these things to herself and changes herself and she realises she's just better off the way she is."
He continued: "It's something for my daughter... I've got to finish it though, I want it to be real Dr. Seuss-y. The Grinch, Green Eggs And Ham, and One Fish, Two Fish - what was going on in that guy's brain to be able to write those things?"
When asked about Dr. Seuss' role in rap he added: "I think I AM Dr. Seuss! I'm The Grinch, I'm all his characters come to life in rap music."
He also told the radio station that he is recording like a maniac, working on the follow up to 2013's Old.
"[I'm] pretty much just working with the same producers I work with, Paul White and SKYWLKR," he said. "I went to L.A. and worked with The Alchemist for like a week - I think that's going to stick on the album."
