Got Grind? Brandeesh Interview

So Brandeesh how did you come up with that name?

A man thats the million dollar question! The name Brandeesh came from my hombeoys back in the day around the way in Cheasapeake. I had about 30 different rap names before but when they started calling me Brandeesh it just stuck. It started off as just kind of a neighborhood thing but once i started introducing myself to the rest of the underground community as Brandeesh it was different and fresh so I ran with it.

Interesting... So when did "Brandeesh" start rapping?

I started rapping around 13 years old. I didnt even begin to take it seriously until 2000. I got with my first official group Hood Life Cartel in 2002. We did two collaboration mixtapes and the streets loved them we couldn't keep any copies in stock. My camp fell apart after my partners caught all types of charges that landed two in jail for life and the other two in and out of jail for years to come. It was just me and my man Train Geneveze left standing. 
I had to keep it moving in the street with the music to carry the name on. A few years later is when Sound Squad Entertainment scooped me up.

Being from Chesapeake, Virginia how do the other cities treat you?

Well I have recieved nothing but love from everyone from day one because my approach is fearless, determined, and hard bodied. I get respect from the most gutter to the most reserved because the people recognize the music that i make is 100% real. No exaggerations or fabrications from me. The people also know that I am fighting for them as well. Because of that I get nothing but love from everyone, the fact that I'm from Chesapeake dosent matter to anybody. 
But the you better believe the 7 cities knows about Brandeesh repping campostella and providence !

Ok well tell the viewers about soundsquad.

Sound Squad Entertainment is a very unique team. It Started out in New York South Side Jamaica Queens with my DJ, DJ Butter B and Big Dee

How long has that partnership been going on?

They were throwing parties around the way and the people who helped Butter B bring in his equipment were called the "Sound Squad"Once Butter and Big Dee moved to VA they linked up with ZIp (from norfolk). A few years later I was picked up as an artists and it has been on for the last for years
