About this song (Last.fm)
“XXX“ is the opening title track to Danny Brown’s acclaimed sophomore album which was released in 2011. Danny Brown talked about this song in an interview: “For XXX, I was just thinking of the credits rolling to that. The way the beat came on, it sounded more like an intro beat than a song with a hook. It was an intro, so I wrote the intro to it. Everything was super-intentional, it wasn’t like nothing wasn’t planned. I wrote the intro and I wrote “30”, the outro last.“ Read more on Last.fm.
