Musical Monday with Danny Brown

Danny Brown in "Lost" (2016)

"Nightmarish" might be overused when it comes to describing art and films, but I can't think of a better work to describe the video for Danny Brown's "Lost". I can't understand more than every third or fourth word of the lyrics that Briton Brown is rapping, but the video tells the story of a drug-dealer who... well, anything else I say will ruin the experience so why don't you just click below and sit back?


Lost (2016)
