Rapper and producer Uncommon Nasa worked on a slew of early Def Jux releases in the early 2000s. He quickly established himself as an underground hip-hop heavyweight and eventually founded his own label, Uncommon Records, in 2004.

Danny Brown certainly has a few things up his sleeves for 2016. Thus far, he's premiered a documentary on his first hometown performance in years, and he's released “When It Rain,” his new single that manages to be simultaneously bewildering and hypnotic. Just yesterday, however, Danny Brown gave us another glimpse into what he has in store for the year when he announced his new album, Atrocity Exhibition, and the dates for the country-wide tour in support of this hotly-anticipated album. The album's title is inspired by a song from post-punk band Joy Division's 1980 album, Closer.
