Brody Brown: From the Compton Crips to the Grammy Stage


Mars mentioned Brown as a potential collaborator for Cee Lo Green, who was then recording his album The Lady Killer. Brown showed up an hour late for his session, but still was able to contribute both piano and bass to "Fuck You!" Mars and Brown also worked on Travie McCoy's single "Billionaire," as well as B.o.B's "Nothin' on You."

Brown has also written and produced tracks for Game's The R.E.D. Album, and says he's currently in talks with Dr. Dre and Kanye West. He's also got plans for an album of songs with other performers written and produced himself. "I just have to keep working," he says. "I believe my music is building bridges that have been torn down for many years."
