'Contra' by Danny Brown is a track on 'Detroit State of Mind 4', released in 2010. The lyrics look out from a tightly local street viewpoint, with lines about where the narrator is from, counting money, dressing in a uniform look, and moving through a world of confrontations and surveillance, all delivered with a swaggering sense of intent. A hook-like moment, “Now I know what I'm gonna do”, frames it as decisive, even when the details are relentlessly grim.
"Contra" is a track by Danny Brown, from the album Detroit State of Mind 4, released 8th March 2010. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 9 articles about Danny Brown.

From a self-made iPhone spy movie to mosh-pit movement and a Brooklyn limousine ride, the confirmed credits behind three underscores videos.

Clean(ish), gym-going and living in Austin with a new crew of hyperpop misfits, Danny Brown's made 'Stardust': a wildly inventive, joy-soaked record that ditches the self-destruction without softening the weird.
Danny Brown's most complete and best work to date.
The festival returns for its second year in the capital at new venue Printworks between July 22nd-23rd
