I’m a block away from big
I’m a few steps from hova
I’m mixed with MOP
But still I got a chip on my shoulder
by Brasco
Growing up in the Brownsville section of Brooklyn, one of the most impoverished neighborhoods in the U.S., Brasco or Sco as they called me, I became a product of my environment. I was intrigued by the money, attention and well in short ,life in the fast lane. As a result I found myself dabbling into many things that any mother would pray for their son to avoid.
The mean streets clutched me tightly, holding me closely to its bosoms. Ultimately making the task of transforming a boy raised by the commandments of the streets, into a man with a purpose and positive driven life a very difficult task. But now I can proudly say that the harsh lessons learned on those streets are not only lyrical fodder for my music, but also served as the motivation and inspiration for my life.
After putting my group’s failure and loss behind me, I knew success was right around the corner, so my dream, talent and determination to win landed me in the middle of one of the biggest bidding wars ever! It made heavy hitters like Jimmy Iovine, Jay Z, Sony, and Atlantic records pay close attention to my clever word play and infectious lyrical content that are irresistible to any listener. Naturally starving to be heard in this “what’s new” industry, I set my sights on making it big time but unfortunately my life hit a road block that involved bad timing and the wrong people/crowd. Throughout it all though, I held myself together knowing and believing that if it happened for Biggie, Jay and Mase (the people that inspire me), it was bound to happen for me as well.
I knew the tables of life would turn once again putting me in the position with the right team to propel my career. It’s either go hard or go home and I plan to be here for while! A friend once told me not to blame anyone for my mistakes; because I’m human and that is what we learn from so we don’t become one of our mistakes.
PS: It’s not a marathon for this money and it’s not about who gets it first, but rather who lives their whole life with enough purpose to make their existence a legacy!
Your boy Brasco Air Space is the movement & she left me because I’ m broke is my motivation. Welcome….
