What should the people know about Brandon Law?

I strive for greatness, but I have yet to achieve it, like Michael Jordan type greatness. The road to greatness is full of experiences that shape you, that teach you, that sharpen you. I startedwriting rhymes when I was 16, and I got serious when I was 22. Around that time I met a guy, who, only now I realize he was not as about me and my talents as I thought he was. His name? He will remain nameless. I don't mean that in a disrespectful way, I just don't believe in free press, free anything really, but I do believe there are lessons in everything, even the hard to swallow. This person taught me a lot of things, the most important lesson was not to be so trusting because in the end people are people. That's all I wish to say about that. As far as greatness, I am far from greatness.

What should the people know about Facing L's

I'm talented and I know it, I don't let it go to my head, but I know it. I learned the hard way to be humble and patient. Facing L's is raw, til this day my manager begs me to perform songs off that album, the most I'll give him is one or two. That was recorded during a hard time in my life, and I will never go back to being the person I was then, I saw God many times back then, and because of what he's shown me and what he's promised me, and what he's doing for me, I can never go back to how I used to be. so if you were wondering why there is such a drastic change in my music or why I rarely perform songs from that album that's why. Don't get me wrong that is some real dope boy ish, it's pure truth, and I believe in the bottom of my heart and all the way around back to the top, it will help people and will keep people from giving up during their hard time because it's relatable. The best part about it is those people will hear where I was then and see where I am now and they will hang tough. I really believe that.

Hardest pill to swallow?

My mom passed away, on God I miss her so much, but I don't want to focus on her passing. I mentioned it because it was a significant event in my life, but there is no need to stay there and dwell on something that has already happened.

How do you describe my music?

"A conscious flow of bars, why, because everybody else mumbles. They have forgotten what real hip hop is, people use it as a means to an end as opposed to a means to a beginning. Hip Hop is a gateway, it allows those who listen to your rhymes to see into you, it makes you transparent, transparency is truth, and through that truth your listeners can connect with you and understand you, and it allows you to understand them."

What do you rap about?

"I don't like to rap about guns and drugs and money and stuff because that's not me. I may reefffeereennccee them because that's what's popular...ppooopular...but that's not me. I recorded 11 songs in the studio one day and I sent them to my manager so he could listen to them. He sent me four different texts telling me how tough they were but I wasn't getting it...he told me to close my eyes and listen to it as if someone else was rapping....ssshhiiiittt almost made me cry...life bro life...and staying real...thats what's important."

What are you thankful for?

I am thankful for the person who chooses to listen to my music. I don't like the word fan because that puts the listener below me, when they should be above me. I am nothing without the listener, what is the point of making music if there is nobody to listen to it. I understand the people who listen to my music are making the choice to do so so. To show that I understand that I will continue to make truth music, to show my appreciation, I won't leave you bored, you will not get bored when you listen to my music.

If you only had one sentance to introduce yourself as a rapper to a person, what would you say?

Taken straight from my Twitter, because it says it all.

"Eminem brought us rap God...but Hip Hop Legendary Super Saiyan sounds cooler...so I'm shooting for that instead EMBRACE YOUR INNER BROLY."

One paragraph to capture the audience to tell them what you are about?

My name is Brandon Law. I aspire to be great, but I know I can't get there by myself. I need a team, I need the listeners. I appreciate every last one of those who listen to my music because I know they don't have too, they make the choice, just like I choose to be honest with and in my music. I use music as my outlet, as my form of escapism instead of turning to drugs, or abusing women, or being nasty towards others just to make myself feel better. When I'm mad I write a song. When I'm frustrated I write a song. When I feel hopeless I write a song. When I miss my mom I write a song. When I'm crying I write a song. When I feel like nobody is listening or I have nobody to talk to I write a song. Yes, I write music when I feel like I'm on top of the world. Yes I write party music, but anybody can story party music. But not everybody is in-tuned with themselves enough to write a song when they are feeling such strong emotions. That's what true hip hop is, it draws on your deepest emotions. True hip hop makes you feel and it creates an emotional bond between the listener and the artist to the point where they understand each other. My name is Brandon Law, I write with fire and I bleed on the beats.
