the brain

The Brain is an independent Austin hip hop artist who is a lyricist, producer, live performer and recording artist. His hip hop is reminiscent of early 90’s west coast underground with a new southern twist.  His influences include Hieroglyphics, Living Legends, KRS One, Wu- Tang Clan, Abstract Rude, Atmosphere and Immortal Technique and many others. It is a mix of melodic blues and rock with the classic hip hop sound.  He is a believer in bringing emceeing back to hip hop and putting hard work behind the music. The Brain wants to create better music which has a message and meaning, while bringing hip hop back to its roots.
