Set to resonate with fans old and new, “Back 2 Basics” is a testament to Blanco Brown's unique ability to blend heartfelt emotion with music that connects with fans globally. As the anticipation builds for the release of the full EP, the song promises to be a standout addition to his ever-evolving discography. Touted as “a one-of-a-kind talent in the industry” by Country Swag, Brown’s EP navigates feelings of desire and admiration as he uses his signature Trailer Trap sound to explore his heart in this romantic lineup of songs.
Blanco Brown first captured attention with his groundbreaking fusion of country, hip-hop, and soul, exemplified by his viral sensation “The Git Up,” which achieved 11x Platinum status and amassed over four billion streams across all social and streaming platforms. The infectious blend of beats and an irresistible dance challenge showcased his unique ability to bridge musical genres and connect deeply with listeners. However, Blanco's meteoric rise was interrupted when a drunk driver hit him head-on while he was riding his motorcycle, resulting in multiple broken bones, 12 blood transfusions, and requiring resuscitation in the ambulance. Despite the severity of the accident and the challenging rehabilitation process, Blanco made a remarkable recovery, relearning fundamental skills like walking and holding a microphone. Now, with a renewed appreciation for life and his craft, Blanco is celebrating a second chance to pursue his dreams and share his music with the world.
About Blanco Brown:
Blurring the lines between Country, Hip-Hop & Soul, Blanco Brown makes a southern sound that he proudly calls "Trailer Trap." Honing in on his unique sound, Blanco balances both the metropolis and country settings in which he grew up. His viral hit “The Git Up” (certified 11x PLATINUM across three countries) took the world by storm, claiming the top spot in charts across the globe and spawning nearly four billion views across social platforms. It claimed the No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart for 12 weeks and was the top-selling digital Country song in the US for 13 weeks, resulting in Billboard naming him as their No. 1 Top New Country Artist for 2019. Apart from being a GRAMMY®-nominated engineer who has worked with the likes of Fergie, Childish Gambino, Kane Brown and Chris Brown, the multi-talent’s multi-national Platinum-certified collaboration “Just the Way” with Parmalee garnered more than 500 million on-demand streams, earning Brown his first No. 1 hit on Country radio (in the US and Canada). More recently, he doubled down on his genre-bending collaborations, teaming with Nelly on the funky, country inspired track “High Horse,” T.I. for “Trap Still Bumpin’,” LOCASH and the late Leslie Jordan for the funky “Let It Slide,” while pairing with Diplo for “Do Si Do” and Lee Brice and R3HAB for the remix of Brice’s hit song, “Soul.” In 2021, Blanco Brown also lent soaring vocals to the song “Never Gonna Tame You (Original Song from “The Mustangs: America’s Wild Horses”),” written by Diane Warren. Recovering from a life-threatening accident and leaning on music to heal, Blanco instantly captured the attention of festival audiences across the nation opening his set with a breathtakingly powerful cover blend of Sam Cooke’s “A Change Is Gonna Come” and Chris Stapleton’s “Tennessee Whiskey.” Showcasing his world-class vocal talent and captivating stage presence throughout 2023, Blanco released the emotionally charged track “I’ll Never,” unlike anything the No. 1 hitmaker has ever released, followed by a momentous tribute to the late, great John Denver with Brown’s release of "Take Me Home, Country Roads.” With his April 5th release of Heartache & Lemonade, part one of three 2024 EP’s, this A-Town resident’s branded “Trailer Trap” sound amplified the stories & arrangements on the project. Blanco’s dripping-with-soul vocals also sonically shine throughout as displayed in the lead focus track "Sunshine, Shine.” Part two of three 2024 EP’s, Cedar Walls & Whiskey, dropped June 14th with fans getting their first taste of this collection with the Diane Warren penned “Snapshot.” Rounding out the 2024 EP releases is Brown’s latest project Back 2 Basics, celebrating the beauty found in the simple, fundamental aspects of love. The title track first taste of the EP carries the essence of the project and will be available to fans on September 13th with the forthcoming EP releasing on October 18.
