He added that the album’s samples cost $70,000 to clear. “A lot of people cheap. And that's why their music sounds cheap. I wanna make timeless stuff, so you're gonna have to spend a couple dollars. You could have Rolex or you can have a Swatch.”

Brown recently shared a photo from the studio with Top Dawg engineer MixedByAli and wrote that they were “putting the final touches on [his] next masterpiece.” In an interview with Zane Lowe on his Beats 1 radio show Brown told Lowe that Talking Heads were a large influence on the album. Atrocity Exhibition takes its name from the Joy Division song named after a book by English author J.G. Ballard. Brown has also announced The Exhibition Tour, with Maxo Kream and Zelooperz joining him on the road. See those dates below.
