Danny Brown & Araabmuzik – Molly Ringwald.

Three of my favorite songs of the year belong to Danny Brown: “Jay Dee’s Revenge”, “Blueberry (Pills & Cocaine)” and now “Molly Ringwald”. The arc is a jarring one: a staunch skull breaker turns into a drug fueled orgy, which then awakens as a zombified trap banger. Danny’s wail is the great equalizer, subsuming sounds from different continents under his cracked out performance. “Molly Ringwald” has the kind of energy that people use to justify listening to Waka Flocka and yet it’s named for the 80s teen star. It’s just over two minutes of blissful concussed rage and you can’t listen to this it picturing his gap tooth smile.
