Detroit rap sensation Danny Brown joins Lucien Clarke and James Lavelle as the third and final cover star of Highsnobiety Issue 18, and will join us to celebrate the occasion with an exclusive launch event in New York City this week, on Thursday May 2.

Marking his triumphant return to music, Danny took some time out from preparing for the release of his highly anticipated fifth studio album to talk to us about his new material and about settling into his deserved position as a serious craftsman and burgeoning elder statesman of rap. Check out the online version of the cover story here.

The Danny Brown cover of Highsnobiety Issue 18 will be available to order here, on Friday May 3, but you can get your hands on a copy early by joining us when we return to China Chalet for what promises to be another memorable NYC launch event, on Thursday evening. Alongside an intimate performance from the man himself will be DJ sets by Vashte, Hank Korsan, DJ U.NO.HU.

RSVP to the event on Thursday, May 2 here and keep it locked for when the Danny Brown version of Highsnobiety Magazine Issue 18 drops on our online store.
