Danny Brown on ‘Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater,’ ‘GTA 6’ and Music’s Moment in Gaming

Rapper Danny Brown performed at THPS Fest to promote Activision’s “Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4” remake and gave a small update on his new album.

The rapper spoke to Variety before his set at last week’s THPS Fest, a livestreamed event promoting Activision’s upcoming “Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4” remake of the classic skate games that drops July 11. To that end, Brown said he’s currently mixing a new album, and he also made an appearance at “Brat” producer and hyperpop artist A.G. Cook’s Coachella set in April, dropping new bars on Charli XCX’s “Party 4 U.” Global Spotify streams for The Pointer Sisters’ 1986 song “Hot Together,” which was featured in Rockstar’s latest “Grand Theft Auto 6” trailer, skyrocketed 182,000% just two hours after it premiered last week.
