“This why I’m hot, plus my album bout to drop..”
Patience can be a cruel thing. Luckily, for Brandan Smith fans, the waiting process is over. Smith has finally given us a taste of his second album Against The Grain. With “I Got It,” we see an upgrade in beats and musicianship while maintaining the same witty flow that made us fall in love with Smith from the beginning. While we are still waiting on the sophomore release, at least he has given us a little something to hold us over. Enjoy the latest from RulDope’s very own, Brandan Smith!

Splah-Zae.
To live a life of light. Extreme richness. To carry undeniable presence.
This is the word that Rul Dope’s favortie R&B singer Brandan Smith uses on his newest release to describe his art, and Crush is almost nine minutes of audible delight that proves it. This new track will be on his upcoming mixtape Hello World Volume 2 due this December 24th, and you won’t be sad that you got an early start with this download. The first half starts out with smooth undertones that had me instantly thinking of the Rat Pack. Those incredible men of the past were the epitome of classy and smooth; but each one somehow still playful, flirty, and possessing talent that left all the girls thinking dirty. The similarites shown by Brandan in this sweet song are why I have decided to crown Mr. Hello World the upcoming Sinatra of R&B. He has grown, and it shows in the sincerity that seeps out of the surprise second half of the track which embraces the freedom and joy that come from loving yourself. In this song, there are no games and no drama- all you will find is honesty that’s as sweet as your first crush. Listen and download here: http://soundcloud.com/ruldope/crush

Before we get into Brandan Smith’s latest track, I’d like to introduce the newest contributor to RulDope. Tiffany Aaserude hails from Redding, Ca and has a great ear for music as well as a flow with words. I hope you guys enjoy what she brings to RulDope.com!
When you are young, the world is full of endless possibilities. At seven, you have the ability to be a fireman one day and an astronaut the next. Very few people ever really aquire the discipline and commitment to see those dreams come true in their adult lives. Ruldopes very own R&B crooner Brandan Smith is one of those gems. He inspires us consistenly, but even more so today as he is introduced for the first time to the world of iTunes and continues to walk out his own childhood ambitions.
This life changing Friday has finally arrived as his fresh single “Against the Grain” reminds us once again why he is one of our favorites. You’ve all heard the mixtape, but this single is well worth the 99 cents. Incredible lyrical substance carried by heart breaking vocals makes “Against the Grain” one of those songs you will play on repeat in your car every morning for the rest of the month. Brandan is joined on this single by the equally talented and emotion sparking female vocalist Maryann, and together they create a story you feel could be your own.
