In 2009, Brendan hooked up with Albany-based Big Face Entertainment and began to take music more seriously than he ever had before. This drive led him to open for big name artists like J Cole and Fabolous. Other artists Brendan has opened for include Young Jeezy, Jadakiss, Talib Kweli, Ghostface Killah, Bobby Valentino, Steve Aoki, Juelz Santana, Estelle, and many others. At the same time, he was maintaining a 4.0 in Albany's business school and traveling to third world countries like Ecuador on humanitarian missions. With boundless energy and dynamic drive, Brendan managed to hit several high marks in his relatively short career, holding his own in an arena that not many white artists have found success.
Like a chess player, every move Brendan makes has a purpose. His latest feat? Winning a T-Pain contest that challenged all new and up and coming artists to drop an original verse on a T-Pain track with the prize being a slot on T-Pains forthcoming mix tape ‘Prevolver’.
“I want to be recognized as an extremely talented writer, producer and performer,” said Brendan. “I want to greater my understanding on mixing music and creating beats, and in the future, become a mentor to those who are eager to learn as I am”.
For Real

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Blowin' out a lot, I'ma bust out my nostrils
Goin' back and forth, cause they know that I'm not soft
And I'm so clean, dip the whip up in Pine-Sol
And I'm so mean, I'ma blitz up on all y'all
I kept it real, shawty, just want your friend
She started cryin', but she got no friends
Shout out to HXZEL, cause that be my fam'
For real, for real
For real, for real
That's real, real
Keep every death inside a 'log, they prayin' on my downfall
Jammin' out to Daft Punk, girly call me "Gemi' Punk"
Opps get turned to coleslaw, cause they know it's not law
And I keep the semi tucked, cold case, cold cuts
Cause that's how we do it now
Cause that's just how we do it, you know?
I'ma go back in, woo (Yeah)
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah (Gemi)
Slatt, click-click-fire
I just got done jammin' to "Texas Love"
Free YSL, another bird and a dove
Yeah there go another opp, I'ma put it on tabernacle
And they all up on the kid, yeah, I know they all be naggin'
Fallin' to my knees, for real
Cause the baddies Chinese, for real
And the baddies be Latina, for real
And I'm ballin' with my team for real
MLK vibes, I'ma live up in the skylight
I had a dream, I was the bomb, just like dynamite
I had some steam, I'ma blow it on these termites
I had some steam, when I blow it, they gon' all die
I grew some wings, when I jump, hope I don't die
Pull up on PAWGies, then they gon' eat, Five Guys
I can't be fugazi, yeah I can't be fugazi
And it's just cause I'm ballin'
In and off the court, in and out the trap
Ballin', in and out the trap
Ball, on tabernacle, ballin' just like, uh
Free YSL, R.I.P. Keed, R.I.P. Trouble
Cause we cause trouble,
Cause you know we causin' havoc, know we causin' trouble now

Jesus certainly held me close when my world fell apart. God does come in and bless those that stayed strong and stood tall through it all

My girlfriend of 2 years so far sent me this song recently and every time I hear it I just break down. She grew up in a terrible home with no one to look up to, she’s been through stuff no one should ever go through. She’s dealt with suicide, losing friends, family, but she’s still alive and kicking today. This is her theme song as long as she lives. If she sees this I’m very proud of her. 💜
