Future Brown

Future Brown is the new project from longtime friends Fatima Al Qadiri, Asma Maroof and Daniel Pineda of Nguzunguzu, and J-Cush of Lit City Trax. Taking their name from a color that doesn’t exist in nature, Future Brown is steeped in diasporic sounds, forming their own signature takes on urban music. Working in unison on every studio production, their mutual love of global beats and vocalist-driven music forms a fabric derived from their myriad influences.

Their initial single, “Wanna Party,” featured rising Chicago MC Tink and led to a PS1 x Pitchfork performance at the MoMA gallery. Drawing from their Grime ties in the UK, Future Brown hit up friends Prince Rapid, Dirty Danger of Ruff Sqwad and Roachee (formerly of Roll Deep) to feature on “World’s Mine,” the first of two tracks with the MCs. Future Brown is currently finishing their debut LP with original vocal collaborations from Tink, Shawnna, 3D Na’tee, Maluca, Riko Dan, Ian Isiah, Kelela, and more to be announced.
