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 Beyoncé 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 released his album entitled Mr. Brown, October 3, 2006.
Brown is the son of Jimmy Brown, the lead vocalist and saxophonist for the 1970s funk band Brick.

The lyrics to Sleepy Brown's "Margarita" featuring Pharrell and Big Boi depict the trio engaging in some post-work relaxation and having some drinks at a crowded lounge during happy hour. Brown gets a call from Sleepy Brown, who informs him that he is at the lounge where everyone is buzzing and trying to "cut somethang" but only throwing balls, no strikes for the night. Instead of joining the crowd, Brown invites Pharrell and Big Boi to his underground bungalow for some heavy thinking and relaxation. There, Pharrell joins them, and Brown expresses interest in a woman at the bar, trying to work up the nerve to talk to her. Eventually, the trio invites the woman to join them and go with them for a ride.
The lyrics portray a night of leisure and relaxation that follows a long day of work. Brown and his friends seem to want to let loose, enjoy some drinks, and have some fun, which is reflected in the upbeat, catchy melody of the song. The lyrics also allude to a sense of companionship and support between Brown, Pharrell, and Big Boi, with the latter expressing his readiness to do anything for Brown's lady and to make all her dreams a reality.
