BRANDEUS Drops Motivational Hit “Paro”

Published

on

From the sun-kissed shores of the Gold Coast, Australian-born artist BRANDEUS is shaking up the music scene with his latest track “Paro”. A master of blending hip-hop, alt R&B, and pop, BRANDEUS has crafted a motivational R&B trap anthem that’s set to resonate with listeners around the globe.

BRANDEUS, whose journey began when he moved from Brazil to Australia at a young age, has always been passionate about music. Settling in Queensland, he honed his skills as a songwriter, vocalist, and mixing engineer, developing a unique style characterized by profound introspection and incisive socio-political critique. His dynamic blend of rap, singing, and instrumentals creates an atmospheric sound that’s impossible to ignore.

“Paro”, which translates to “Plan” in English, is a declaration of intent. The track represents manifesting success and overcoming the hate and lack of support that often come from the industry. It’s a testament to the power of determination and the unwavering vision of achieving success and financial freedom. BRANDEUS’s lyrics and powerful delivery convey that no amount of negativity can derail his plans to provide for his family and inner circle.

“Paro” (translates “Plan”) to me is a reminder to keep going and pursuing your passion even if you feel like no one believes in you. So many times as an independent artist you feel like giving up but giving up is never an option. The overall plan is to work my dream job and provide financial freedom for my close friends and family.” – BRANDEUS

Bay Area beatmaker/visual artist DJ Design returns with new single “I Wanna Be Free” (Below System Records).  Washes of synth collide with a dense horn arrangement and snappin’ drums.  West-Coast emcee Gennessee guests on the track spitting a lyrical dissertation on the woes of a police state, racial profiling and surveillance.

While more of a behind-the-scenes player DJ Design’s (aka Keith Griego) work has had a sizable imprint on the history of modern hip-hop. As a DJ/Beatmaker and visual artist he has contributed production and art since the late 90’s for notables including The Beastie Boys, Madlib, A.G., Foreign Legion, Rasco, Peanut Butter Wolf and Phat Kat

As a visual artist, his high point of work with the label was his design of the 12” vinyl cover for Lootpack member Madlib’s side project Quasimoto. The cover for “Microphone Mathematics” featured Design/Griego’s visual representation of Lord Quas as a sort of alien aardvark, which was adopted by the artist and has since become one of the most iconic and enduring

characters in the game today.
