I Am Brooklyn Bras

Born & Raised Around the Struggle, that’s the cipher in the street and the philosophy behind Committee Record’s Recording artist BRAS.  Although Bras may very well be a new face to the mainstream, he’s no amateur.  With bona fide block respect, opening sold out arenas, and history under his belt he is more than ready to storm the Hip Hop industry and provide what it is lacking.

 

Duane ‘BRAS’ Abroal was born June 24, 1980 in Brooklyn’s East New York. Born and raised in East New York  he learned quickly how to be a survivor of the streets.  Living a life rich with experiences and triumphs that would later be conveyed through his lyrical delivery; at the age of 12 he put his street experiences and hood knowledge to work, developed his first lethal 16 bars and hasn’t stopped since.  The streets as his muse, his pen his best friend and his verses on the pages of his life, he is definitely bearing all and delivering the truth.

 

With some of the greatest Hip Hop influences of the new generation surfacing , he continues to master his forte. It’s not a large conviction to suggest, that Bras will be the next takeover; With his innovative and bar for bar punch lines, Bras leaves no room for tracks to breathe.  As his music surfaces, Bras will  shake up the industry.  

 

He describes his music as a balance between gangster rap and club anthems, With tracks like King of the Brook and Incredible.  Bras is a lyrical genius; he is versatile and possess a dynamic approach with his music.

 

 

As an underground artist on an independent label his track record is more than impressive. He has opened for headliners such as Ghostface, Freeway, and Multi-Platinum artist 50 Cent; and, in Casper, Wyoming on Oct. 12^th, 2003 he was a part of hip hop history; opening for Mystical at the first ever Hip Hop Fest in Wyoming. Kay Slay featured him on his show called the Drama Hour. Bras has worked with all time hit maker 45 king. 45 King produced Jay-Z’s Hard Knock Life and Eminem’s Stan, 2 classic tracks pumped with groundbreaking originality. Bras warmed the streets up when he realeased ‘’That’s Right” a 45 King produced track. Funk Master Flex dropped bombs on his song  on NYC’s Hot 97 radio station.

 

BRAS is currently working on his Street album, which is expected to be crammed with hunger, street genius, and innovative finesse. Releasing continuous Committee stamped mix-tapes entitled “Street Buzz” gives the thirsty Hip-Hop driven souls a sample of what to expect .

 

Keeping busy, BRAS is in the midst of  redefining history and adding a missing piece to the puzzle. Expect that he will be sweeping through a town near you; it’s recommended that everyone gets their shot cause its gonna get real crazy. He is committed to success and committed with that same passion to Committee, down for the grind, and ready to merge with the industrys elite. When asked why he is committed to committee he passionately says, “Committee is real, it’s an organization, like you have the CIA, you have the MOB, then there is Committee it’s a movement; like the Black Panthers and definitely not an imitation.” So keep your eyes wide open and if you’re a true hip hop fan don’t get caught sleeping on the job and miss history in the making.
