2017 was a stellar year for “BASSGOD” Brady Watt. He traveled the world with DJ Premier as a member of his The Badder Band and joined Preem for a monumental NPR Tiny Desk Performance (the first such ever performance by a DJ), announced his signing to Premier’s TTT (To The Top) imprint and premiered new music with XXL, Uproxx, Mass Appeal, Billboard and Okayplayer. Brady’s also worked with a diverse group of artists as well; including Jay Electronica, G-Eazy, 2 Chainz, Joey Bada$$, Rick Ross and Curren$y.
Brady Watt has already had a phenomenal 2018 and his arrow keeps pointing up. He recently headlining gigs at the legendary Blue Note in NYC and performed at LA’s famed Low End Theory club (which has been a launch pad for artists such as Daddy Kev, Flying Lotus and many others), Brady was also featured on PRhyme 2’s (DJ Premier & Royce 5’9’s) new project (appearing on the albums closing track “Gotta Love It” which also featured Cee-Lo) which reached #1 on the iTunes Hip-Hop Chart earlier this year.
After a recent premiere of his single “Black & White” with Billboard and his most recent single “BEEN DOWN,” Brady returns with the visual for “MÁS”; a collaborative effort alongside Spencer Ludwig, Randy Class and Dru Oliver (known for his work with PnB Rock, SZA, Kehlani & Fetty Wap) who returns to display his undeniable chemistry with Brady (Dru also appeared on “BEEN DOWN” as well).
Already known for his diversity and ability to cater and blend his sound to any genre and artist he works with, Brady’s diversity is on full display with “MÁS,” as the tracks worldly hue and Latin horns transports you to Harlem on a hot and humid summer NYC day. Suddenly; someone catches your attention, you are instantly hypnotized and on the chase; the hypnotist and co-star of the video is recording artist, TV Host and actress Jessenia Gallegos. All the while, all you can think about is that you want “MÁS” (More)!
“MÁS is a track a long time in the making. As a producer and composer I’m always coming up with chord changes and melodies. Some stay with me for years before they get used” Brady commented. “These chord changes and melody struck me while playing guitar about five years ago and remained upstairs until January 2018. I finally built out the beat and loved it, though I was not yet sure what to do with it.
Randy, who is of Dominican lineage and from the South Bronx hopped right into writing lyrics in Spanish, I was like “woooah!.” I didn’t even think of that, though the beat has a Latin feel. My whole career is based off collaboration and instinct so I just rolled with it. The process was very organic.
I moved out to LA for the winter (and I’m moving there permanently soon) to work and actually ended up doing a bunch of sessions with Dr. Dre, pulling all nighters and stuff (Utter craziness). I spent a lot of time mixing “MÁS” out West, (definitely with some vibes I picked up from the Doctor, who in my opinion is the best mix engineer of all time).”
You can catch Brady Watt at Nublu (NYC) on Wednesday 9-26, with the rising R&B group Freelance; its Brady’s last NYC show before he makes a permanent move to LA.
