[Brutha-Brutha Full Album Zip
Amancio Mccrae
The album was supported by one single, "I Can't Hear The Music" featuring rapper Fabolous. It peaked at #81 on the Billboard 200, and has sold 100,000 copies in total. It remains the group's only full-length project to be released.
Brutha was an American R&B and soul group consisted of five brothers: Anthony Harrell, Cheyenne Harrell, Grady Harrell III, Jacob Harrell and Jared Overton. The group was formed in 2002 and Brian McKnight first introduced them on the 2003 Soul Train Holiday Special.[1] The brothers were subsequently signed to Def Jam Records. The group's first album Brutha was released in December 2008.[2] Their reality show, Brothers to Brutha, documented their rise to fame.[3] In 2011, the three eldest brothers Grady, Anthony and Jared left the group to pursue solo careers, leaving the remaining two brothers Jacob and Cheyenne to form the duo Jake & Papa.[4][5][6]
The five brothers in the band are (eldest to youngest) Grady Harrell III, Anthony Harrell, Jared Overton, Cheyenne "Papa" Harrell and Jacob Harrell. Four of the brothers' father is Grady Harrell Jr., a singer from Los Angeles who made his mark in music and encouraged his sons to follow in his footsteps, while Jared has a different father and the same mother as two of his brothers making him unrelated to Cheyenne and Jacob. Their father was a disciplinarian. He taught them how to sing, while the boys' uncle Donny (Drano) Harrell furthered their music careers. However, the boys had different mothers. Papa and Jacob's mother is named Valerie. The mother of Jared, Anthony, and Grady Jr. is Nancy Lynn. Papa and Jacob were not raised by their father, as he had been convicted of fraud and was sentenced to 2.5 years in jail. The boys were raised on the music of their inspirations, which ranged from Sam Cooke to Stevie Wonder. Before hitting the "Big Time" they played graduation parties and bar mitzvahs.[citation needed]
The Harrell brothers came to the entertainment world at a young age out of a four-generations musical family. At 5 or 6 years old, Anthony Harrell and Grady Harrell III met up with their first cousin Canela Cox and formed the group Papa's Results, being trained and taught by Grady Harrell II, who was then signed to MCA Records prior to a prison term. The children appeared in his R&B hit single "Sticks and Stone"[7] and Anthony provided the singing voice of young Michael Jackson played by Alex Burell in the 1992 TV mini series The Jacksons: An American Dream. Papa's results lasted until Canela moved to Holland to follow her mother's musical career.[8] The brothers filled her spot with family friend Jeff Lee and changed their name to Serenade.[9] They appeared on episodes of Saved by the Bell: The New Class in 1997 where Anthony played the regular role of Eric Little. As a duet consisting of Grady and Anthony, they recorded two independent albums.
In 2002, Grady and Anthony were joined by their brothers JR, Jake, and Papa and formed the group Brutha.[8] The group was discovered by Brian McKnight, who introduced them on the 2003 Soul Train Holiday Special. In 2008, their uncle Donny "Drano" Harrell, CEO of Goodfellas Entertainment, and Shakir Stewart, senior vice president of A&R at Island Def Jam, invited the group to Atlanta to do a filmed audition in front of Jermaine Dupri and a range of producers.[10] The audition resulted in a one-hour special entitled Jermaine Dupri Presents: Brutha broadcast on March 24, 2008, on Peachtree TV. Dupri was impressed and signed the brothers to the Island Def Jam Music Group. In 2007, Brutha made a special guest appearance on the Discovery Kids television show Hip Hop Harry.[11]
ive been away from the psy trance scene for a while, and since ive been gone everything seems to have changed, or maybe its me? i was hoping some of you nice people could help recommend my some new stuff that i might like as much as the old goodies i remember.
i think i know what i really want - full on psytrance WITHOUT the noise; i like the clear heavy beat of the progressive, if only it could be a touch faster with some of those cheesy sci fi voice samples thrown in. thats what i really really want. if this isn't a sub genre, then it bloody should be!
tracks that i know i love are as follows, is there any recommendations that any of you lot can give to help me find some more? thankyou very very very much for bothering to read my first ever post. :-)
i think i have now bored you enough, any help will be very gratefully received. help me find a third way between full on and progressive please!!! - ive been recommended True Lies and Ace Ventura what d'ya reckon?
wow, thanks for the quick reply. i have checked out samples for both of them. not bad, but not quite up there with the ones i mentioned i don't think. not sure why though maybe they need to be more bouncy and spacey and fun and deep, less tinny and noisy. or maybe im too fussy for my own good?
Samples are not always the best way to go... I think Oopie's recommendations are definitely up there Both are very solid releases, in the general psy-trance genre! But of course we all have different preferences!
hey also you ought to check out the compilation "tales from the forest". there's a few hux flux/logic bomb tunes on that one! "runtime error" by logic bomb is my 2nd fav'e track right after "shadow of..."
I really do beleive that alot of people found this uninspiring and boring (as stated in my review of the album), but I also think because of the bad hype around the artist and the album, alot of others didnt give it a fair chance and just jumped on the bandwagon and didnt like it.
Zenon Records does seem really good, so thanks to Pavel for suggesting that. they have some more that i wanna check out too like Cujorius One - Creating A Second Sun, Shadow FX - Direct Influence, and another compilation called Eyes Rolling but i can't seem to find these anywhere.
"i like the clear heavy beat of the progressive, if only it could be a touch faster with some of those cheesy sci fi voice samples thrown in. thats what i really really want. if this isn't a sub genre, then it bloody should be!"
Zerotonine - Cygnus Loops, Snug as Bug - Imitate People, Cujorius One - Creating A Second Sun, Pitch Hikers - Twilight Zone, Segment - 01, Permutations, Eyes Rolling and Tetrameth - Psychological Pyrotechnics. Is there any site that will sell all these albums and accept paypal or maestro card? those russian sites look very cheap but they only accept credit cards i think.
