G BROWN

G BROWN GREW UP IN THE NINETIES. A TIME WHEN DRUGS WERE EVERYWHERE, AND QUICK MONEY WAS BEING MADE. HE WAS A PART OF THIS WORLD THAT I WOULD DESCRIBE AS THE "FAST LIFE". DURING THAT TIME ALL THE HOUSTON GREATS WERE COMING UP IN THE RAP GAME, NOT NATIONAL, BUT LOCAL CELEBRITIES. THOSE ARTISTS ARE WHAT THE GULF COAST JAMMED. G WAS DABBLING IN THE RAP GAME AT THAT POINT, BUT MORE CONCERNED WITH GETTING MONEY ELSEWHERE AND THE NEXT SATURDAY NIGHT. HE EVENTUALLY CAUGHT A CASE THAT IMPRISONED FOR 7 YEARS. ALOT HAD CHANGED WHEN HE GOT OUT. THE INTERNET EMERGED, CD SELLS DROPPED, BUT THE HOUSTON RAP SCENE WAS RUNNING THE GAME. G'S STYLE WAS NOW WHAT WAS HOT. PEOPLE WANT TO HEAR REAL INDIVIDUALS THAT LIVED THE TALE, MOST OF THE TIME THESE ARTISTS CAME UP SIGNED TO INDEPENDENT LABELS. COMMERCIAL RECORDS WERE NOW EITHER REAL CATS BE NOTICED AND PICKED UP BY THE MAJORS, OR THE MAJORS CREATING BIOS FOR LYRCISTS. YOU KNOW G WHEN YOU HEAR HIM. YOU KNOW WHAT HE'S BEEN THROUGH, BUT THATS HALF OF IT. YOU GOTTA BE ABLE TO FLOW. THATS WHAT HE DOES WITH THE BEST OF EM, RIGHT ALONG KEKE, BUN B, PIMP C, AND ALL THE OTHERS. HE HAS THE CHARISMA THAT SETS HIM APART, UNTOUCHABLE FLOW, AND STORIES THAT HE LIVED, AND HIS SWAGGA ON TRACKS BLENDS EVERYTHING. HE IS WHAT ALL THE UPCOMERS ARE TRYING TO PORTRAY. THIS IS WHAT WAS NOTICED BY MOMENTUM RECORDS. SHORTLY AFTER G GOT HOME, HE WAS NOTICED BY MOMENTUM AND WAS THEN OFFERED A CONTRACT. THE TWO WERE NOT STRANGERS HOWEVER. THERE WERE LONGER RELATIONSHIPS THROUGH AQUANTANCES, SO WHEN G WAS SIGNED IT WAS LIKE HE HAD ALWAYS BEEN AT MOMENTUM. WORK THEN BEGAN ON "G CODE," AND THE ALBUM IS SCHEDULED FOR RELEASE ON SEPT 23, 2008. THE RECORD IS A MIXTURE OF BANGIN SOUTH RIDIN MUSIC, AND SOME STORY TELLIN. NO ONE HAD A HAND ON THIS CD BUT G, THE PRODUCER AT MOMENTUM, AND A MASTERING ENGINEER. EVEN THE MIXING WAS DONE AT MOMENTUM, AND THE ENTIRE PROJECT WAS DONE "JUST LIKE WE WANTED IT."
