Mr. Brandun DeShay - full-time rapper, part time producer, and active member of Odd Future.

Brandun DeShay is truly one of a kind.  Already, at his age, he's managed to take multiple styles of rap and hip hop, blend them, and contribute them to the Odd Future sound he's now helping to master.

I've had the pleasure of working with this young man a few times during a couple of his visits to Los Angeles.  His freestyle skills are like nothing I've ever heard before.  While at work, he's a perfectionist and he is, truly, his toughest critic when he's in the booth.  And for a "rapper/producer," his beats blew me away (you never expect a "rapper/producer" to actually be that great at both).  Credits go to him for Hodgy Beats' song "Memorex CDs" (featured on "The Dena Tape") as well as MANY others that few have had the advantage to hear (sorry haha!).

Everything I've heard so far has made my jaw drop in awe.  He uses a mix of rock/pop and hip hop to create his own style, similar to nothing that comes to mind.  He's lyrically superior to most and. on top of all of this, HE WORKS HARD.  He never seems to stop working, and that's a quality that's hard to find in people these days, especially artists.

To sum this all up, brandUn DeShay is SIMPLY DOPE.  Go listen.
