Danny Brown‘s wide encompassing hip-hop themes have crossed over into mainstream EDM thanks to his association with A-Trak powerful Fools Gold Records and his repeated references to designer drugs in his art. Beginning to foreshadow big time moves from the Detroit raised rapper, avid supporter of hip-hop Pretty Lights added Danny as support to his expansive and diverse tour.
Following recent controversy at a Pretty Lights show in Nashville, his supporting role on the Pretty Lights tour comes to a sudden and painful halt following Danny Brown’s unacceptable antics as according to Derek’s twitter comments. Follow the conversation below to get the gist.

I was referring to the fact that a microphone was thrown at the crowd and my fans being yelled at when I said weak. @XDannyXBrownX

@PrettyLights D-Brown set highlights: pants below ass, beer in hand, mumbled "singing", microphone grazed my head, he left stage.

With the crossover between hip hop and EDM imminent, this could have been a good opportunity to continue to branch the two cultures. I’ll be intersted to see how Fool’s Gold feels about the incident. We’ll be sure to update you with more on the situation.
@ShorneStevens
Sounds like the crowd was mostly there for PL and DBrown was butthurt
#whosdannybrown?
Dude, opening act. You have to kill it for the opening act or the crowd won’t be pleased.
What a tool. Hip hop and EDM already melded, It’s called Trapstep.
Actually this happened in St Louis, I was there
can losers like Danny Brown stick to shit shows in underground venues where nobody would give two shits if their career ends immediately? Fucking loser.
