In the modern musical landscape of pop stars and recycled ideas many adult hip-hop fans can at times feel disenfranchised and frustrated when it comes to finding quality music and origanal concepts. Enter Brandon Brown a veteran MC/SONGWRITER from the northside of Edmonton. The self proclaimed "hip- hop cop" has seen enough of the bubble gum beats and shallow topics and feels the only thing that can save hip-hop is hip-hop itself! "I think the history of the music and hip-hop culture as a whole has been self-policing since its inception," offers Brown, "but we as a community are slipping and letting these cats get away with murder, the murder of hip-hop".
Brandon has been performing under the name Butta for 14 years, along the way having the opportunity to do shows along side artists such as RUN DMC, DEL THA FUNKEE HOMOSAPIEN, BLACK SHEEP, SNOOP DOGG,PHARCYDE, as well as fellow Canadian MCs K-OS, CHOCLAIR,THA RASCALZ,KARDINAL and MAESTRO just to name a few. Recently the urge to change his name was something he finally sucumbed to and Brandon Brown was born."It really is a representation of a turning point in my life in and outside of the music."
Part of the turning point in Brandon's life has been his recent relocation to Toronto and the release of his highly-anticipated solo debut on NewLeaf Records due out late summer '07. As of yet untitled album will be a merge of hip-hop,blues,rock and soul that will underscore Browns topicaly diverse concepts. With production from fellow NewLeaf artist PLEX and appearances by GEORGE LEACH on guitar the album promises to be a window into the evolution of the culture and more importantly the world as a whole.
From the highly anticipated solo debut album:"Movements of Luv" We have 2 new trax up! "Gimmie Somthing featuring Donmecz and produced by Bobby Girth!! and "Just a Memory"produced by iD
