Join DMV Hip hop artist and Coffee enthusiast BRAIN RAPP from his
humble apartment for a NIGHT CAP AND AN EVENING OF MELLOW RAPS --
BRAIN RAPP'S first experience began at the age of nine when he stole
his older sister's copy of Outkast's Aquemini that she received for
Christmas. Having seen the video for "Rosa Parks" weeks before, Brain
was mesmerized by the bright lights, upbeat rhythm, and fast-paced
rhymes.
This experience set the ball rolling in terms of Brain's infatuation
with hip hop. Listening to Outkast for hours at a time, he began to
memorize their lyrics, repeating their words to his friends as fast as
he could. Soon Brain began writing rhymes of his own. He found the
activity cathartic, as it helped him cope with living in a tumultuous
household. For years Brain kept his writing to himself, seeing it
primarily as a form of therapy and less as a viable career option.
It wasn't until he joined the Undergrounduates, a freestyle-cypher
club at the University of Maryland, that he began to contemplate the
idea of pursuing rap professionally. Performing at campus events in
front of large crowds finally gave him the energy he needed to begin
the difficult transition from introverted hip hop hobbyist to
full-fledged artist.
What sets Brain apart from others is the fact that he didn't grow up
knowing what he wanted to do with his life. Hip hop found him as a
child and started him down a long path towards an unexpected
destination. When he began writing as a teenager he could have never
imagined releasing three EPs, opening for national acts, and
performing at prestigious venues. The distinctive aspect of Brain
Rapp's story is that he never saw his career coming. The unanticipated
nature of his journey makes him unique among his peers. Drawing
inspiration from his atypical background, Rapp stands out from the
rest of the crowd.
