Brown Boy's "Superman" slow jam topped many radio outlets' favorite playlists and appeared on Billboard's Top Rhythmic 40 in 2006. Hailing from Blythe, CA, Brown Boy earned his name from his baby-faced look and Chicano pride. Although his greatest influence was alternative hip-hop group Lighter Shade of Brown, Brown Boy's first two albums, Change the Game and Represent the Brown, were filled with hardcore Chicano raps. However, the positive responses received from the radio-friendly single "Next 2 U" of the latter album convinced him to be more of himself in his music. In August 2005, he released the Livin' Shady album, which contained "Superman," on Aries Music, distributed via EMI Latin. Still prospering from the exposure of Livin' Shady, he released Chicano Rap Riderz in July 2006.

You're the One

[Guy-Verse 1]
Now I know you were meant for me
I can tell by the way you was sent to me.
From the heavens above
See you got that special love
'cause when I go to sleep I get kisses and hugs.
And when I wake up your all that I'm thinkin of
See you like my shining sun

No need to ask who cause you know your the one
The one for me to tell you the truth
Baby your all that I need simple and sweet
A girl like you makes my life complete
I knew from the start you would always have my heart
'cause eveytime we meet my heart skips a beat
Girl I can tell you in so many ways how much I love you
Te quiero, te amo, I need you by my side me llado.
