Quaranta is the sixth studio album by American rapper Danny Brown, released on November 17, 2023, by Warp Records. It is Brown’s solo follow-up to 2019’s U Know What I’m Sayin?, and his second album of 2023 following his collaboration with JPEGMafia, Scaring the Hoes. The album includes collaborations with Bruiser Wolf, Kassa Overall and Mike, and was preceded by the lead single “Tantor”. Quaranta is Brown’s final release on Warp.
Brown first teased the album in October 2020 when he shared a clip of music with the caption “XXXX”. He later clarified it was titled Quaranta and not 40. The title means “40” in Italian, and has been described as a “spiritual bookend” to Brown’s 2011 album XXX. Brown worked with producers including the Alchemist, Quelle Chris, Skywlkr and Paul White on the album.
Brown has called it his “most personal” album, on which he “explor[es] his experiences with pain, isolation, and hitting rock bottom”. He called it his “way of getting shit out” after spending time in rehab to recover from drug and alcohol addiction, and explained that “it was almost like, if I died, this is what I have to say”.
