Brawdcast is an artist who draws inspiration from great emcees like Common and Big L, and you can hear it in his cleverly crafted punchlines. He brings thought provoking, original concepts to each track that would make Maya Angelou bop her head. Brawdcasts concepts on tracks range from his relationship to God to straight rocking the microphone, all birthed from his unique upbringing. He has recorded commercials for Russell Simmons (thats right, the biggest man in the industry) energy drink called Defcon 3. He has collaborated with respected artists like Pigeon John and Trek Life. Kutmasta Kurt and Brawdcast were actually in talks concerning a project, but investor issues kept the project at bay. Instead of letting the disappointment hold him back, Brawdcast found himself on an emerging independent label, O.C. Records. He is flat out the total package, smooth concepts mixed with raw lyrics that would make Big L smile. Brawdcast has received various accolades due to the quality of his debut album. He won an award for "Best Hip-Hop" at the Orange County Music Awards in 2006, 2007, and 2008, which celebrates the best music across all genres in Orange County. Brawdcast recently also just released his first 12", with the lead single as "This is It", which is a surefire banger featuring Brawdcast's ferocious flow and witty punchlines over heart-pounding production. The single has gotten massive amounts of spins on College radio shows, hitting ..24 on the National College Radio Hip-Hop charts and staying on the charts for a couple of monthsMainstream radio is also bumping Brawdcast, as "This Is It" has been played at Los Angeles's Power 106FM. Brawdcast's music has also been played on the two biggest Satellite Radio stations, XM and Sirius (Channel 40 "Hip Hop Nation"). Just like how radio stations help fans hear new music through the airwaves, Myspace is the premier internet site for people to hear new music. As a testament to Brawdcast's latest album and the immense support his fans give him, Brawdcast was Myspace's Artist of the Week from March 28th to April 4th along with Ugly Duckling and T.I. The first week of October his debut album was a feature on iTUNES, in the new releases section. Prior to this LP release a 12" EP featuring LMNO (of the Visionaries) was dropped and soared to the top of the indy hip hop singles chart....
