Background

In July 2014, Danny Brown announced that his group Bruiser Brigade would release their debut album, tentatively titled Reign Supreme in October of that year.[1] In a March 2015 interview, when asked about how far completed the album was, Dopehead replied "A heart beat".[2] The album never released.

Danny Brown started streaming on Twitch the Japanese role-playing video game Persona 5 on August 24, 2018.[3][4] Clips of the Persona 5 streams got attention on Twitter and brought more viewers to his stream. He streamed more Persona 5 the following day, then turned the stream into a live listening party of 12 unreleased songs.[4] He went on to clarify that "This shit ain't coming out, it's only for Twitch" and joked around saying it was the "first Twitch album ever".[5] He said that the songs he previewed were not songs from his new album and that none of the samples were cleared[5][4]

The songs featuring members of the Bruiser Brigade such as ZelooperZ, Dopehead, Fat Ray and Kash Tha Kushman started surfacing online as a bootleg called Bruiser Brigade - Reign Supreme.[4][6][7] Danny Brown isn't on all of the songs and a lot of space go to the other Bruiser Brigade members.[4]
