Turning the frustration with his father into inspiration, Brasco found the love of music. This love affair with music coupled with his introduction to the hard beats and lyrical styles of Eric B. and Rakim in the late 80s piqued a strong interest in the originality and freshness of hip-hop. With the additional influences of New Orleans-based artists such as DJ Jubilee and Pimp Daddy, Brasco jumped head first into the New Orleans music scene. At the age of 14, Brasco and four other friends formed a group called the “Ganja Boyzâ€. Having honed their skills in basement rehearsals and impromptu ciphers, the group hit the streets and stages of New Orleans, starting a buzz all their own. The Ganja Boyz gave deliverance to Brasco and gave everyone else a glimpse of his lyrical skills.

Baby validated Brasco’s talent with a personal pledge to keep his eye on him, and, as a result, Brasco caught fire, recognizing the chance to pursue a career in rap music had come. Still, Brasco found it hard to ignore the call of the streets. With little to no strong male guidance and mounting frustration and anger towards his estranged father, Brasco began to travel the proverbial road to self-destruction that had already claimed many of his peers. After racking up some legal troubles, Brasco knew that something had to change, and he decided to concentrate on one of his first loves – music.2003 proved to be a productive year as Brasco and another original member of the “Ganja Boyzâ€, Jon Doe, traveled to Los Angeles, CA to meet with Suge Knight of Death Row Records, who invited the duo after hearing their music. Although they ultimately did not get a record deal with Death Row, the occasion provided further motivation for Brasco, who continued to perform with Jon Doe, and then as a solo artist throughout the south.Then came August 29, 2005 – the day Hurricane Katrina struck. The storm left nothing behind except a test of everyone’s reliance and strength. Going from pillar to post, from New Orleans to Houston and eventually landing in Atlanta, Brasco found solace and knew that while one door was closing another was opening. Brasco hit the ground running once he relocated to Atlanta. He began performing at several venues across the city and has been invited multiple times to perform during the Best of the Best show of the popular ATL’s Most Wanted Talent Showcase, which is responsible for breaking artists such as Yung Joc. Capitalizing on the momentum built through his live performances and on the strength of songs such as “Roc Wit A Soulja,†produced by Win (DG Yola), and “How It Gi-zo,†produced by A.D. Future (Juvenile), Brasco released two mixtapes in 2006, Playin Wit Words and Brasco’s Way, both mixed by DJ Quest, member of Slip N Slide DJs and the Legion Of Doom (LOD). With the release of his latest single “Baaaby,†Brasco continues to earn the respect and recognition of fans and industry insiders alike.Currently prepping his debut album entitled “The Struggle Ain’t Over,†Brasco is determined and destined to become a powerhouse with enough inspiration and originality to last a lifetime and beyond. He says, “I don’t want to be remembered as just a commercial artist, but known for the realness that I bring in every verse of my songs.†It was Fredrick Douglas who wrote, “without struggle, there is no progressâ€, and if struggle is the indication of potential victory, then not only will Brasco’s skills of being a lyricist shine through, but the reflection of his humility will as well.
