Besides his production work, Brown also records as an artist himself, both for his own records (including his popular 2004 single "I Can't Wait" from the Barbershop 2: Back in Business soundtrack), and songs of collaborators such as Beyonce and Big Boi of OutKast (the #1 hit "The Way You Move").
He independently released a solo album in the early 2000s, which remains largely unheard.
He was slated to release an album on the DreamWorks Records label called "For the Grown and Sexy." But the release was scrapped when Dreamworks folded.
He is now signed to Outkast member Big Boi's label Purple Ribbon Records and is working on his album Mr.Brown, which is slated to be released sometime in 2006
Brown is the son of Jimmy Brown, the lead vocalist and saxophonist for the 1970s funk band Brick.

Sleepy Brown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's time to party... time to party
Put that dress on that you know I like
The one that fitted right... that fitted right
Let's go baby yeah (come on baby)
Come on baby (let's go baby)
The car is waitin' (the car is waitin', car is waitin',car is waitin')
Let's toast to love and reach the sky
'Cause tonight baby
Let's leave our cares behind and just unwind (wind, wind)
I can give you what you like baby
'Cause you're so fine baby, love it when you
Dress... Up
Ooh, when we step off in the room
They look at you... they look at you
Just the sexy things you do (sexy, sexy)
You know ya do... ya know ya do
Come on baby yeah (come on baby)
Show 'em baby (show 'em baby)
You ain't playin' (you ain't playin', you ain't playin', you ain't playin')
Let's go and hit the floor (floor) and dance 'til we can't no more
And show the world who I adore, you baby
