I LOVE YOUR BODY BABY
Jan 11, 2026I LOVE YOUR BODY BABY – Song Description
This one doesn’t rush you.It pulls you in… then it won’t let you sit still.
I Love Your Body Baby is Brixley stepping into a breathy, velvet-lit disco universe inspired by the intimacy and confidence of 70s dance floors but refreshed for today’s ears. From the very first held note, her voice becomes the rhythm. Airy. Sensual. Controlled. Every vowel intentional. Every breath part of the groove.
The track opens soft and hypnotic, riding that intimate disco pulse, then slowly turns the lights up...
Duration: 00:04:59RIGHT NOW
Jan 11, 2026RIGHTNOW is not a song. It’s a public announcement that your stress does not get to own the dance floor.
It starts like a switch flipping in your chest, then it keeps climbing. Fast drums. Round robin percussion. A house groove that refuses to apologize.
Brixley comes in like a vocal athlete with opera level control and soul level truth. Clean power. No grit. Every vowel sharp. Every note intentional.
Big Willie hits the mic with that breakdance hype energy, then trades lines like a sparring partner who can also sing. Up th...

Turn It Up
Jan 08, 2026This record doesn’t ask for permission. It walks into the room already warm.
The groove is thick, lived in, and unapologetically alive. You can hear the air moving between instruments. Drums breathe. Bass speaks in full sentences. Horns don’t decorate the track, they interrupt it with confidence. Every note feels played, not placed.The song lives in that space where heat meets control. Where sweat isn’t chaos, it’s proof. The rhythm moves slow enough to feel heavy and fast enough to pull you forward. Nothing here is nostalgic. It’s modern soul with muscle mem...

ARE YOU MAN ENOUGH
Jan 04, 2026ARE YOU MAN ENOUGH
Are You Man Enough is a performance-driven funk record built for the stage, the crowd, and the moment. Rooted in the Minneapolis Sound and accelerated for today, the track moves with tight, dry drums, snapping snares, elastic bass, and sharp funk guitar that cuts instead of floats.
What makes this record different is control. The music stops on command, drops into intentional silence, and hands the spotlight to spoken, sensual crowd interaction. Breath, confidence, and attitude become part of the rhythm. From there, the song rebuilds with HBCU-inspired drumline energy—rolling sn...
Duration: 00:06:33Say It Louder
Jan 04, 2026SAY IT LOUDER
This song is a declaration.
Say It Louder is the sound of a woman who knows who she is and moves accordingly.She’s rough around the edges.She’s grounded in her power.She’s confident in her body, her voice, and her direction.
This is energy, not explanation.Strength, not performance.Presence, not permission.
She’s not here to convince anyone.She’s not here to be chosen.She’s here because she chose herself.
She knows what she wants.She knows what she allows.And s...
Duration: 00:05:10I Refuse to Live In Fear
Jan 03, 2026This record wasn’t born from romance.It was born from urgency.
Big Willie and Brixley are not together.No storyline. No off-mic narrative. No manufactured chemistry.
This was a contractual studio collaboration, created for a specific moment in time when the world felt loud, fractured, and on fire and silence wasn’t an option.
The energy is fast, intentional, and confrontational without being gritty.The beat nods to classic 90s New Jack Swing dance remixes while pushing the sound into 2025 with layered drums, surround movement, and a relentless forward pulse.

Mama’s Radio
Before Big Willie had words, he had instincts.A small apartment. A quiet hallway. A radio playing just loud enough to pretend everything was okay.This is where listening became survival.

Dial Tone, Big Willie
Dec 24, 2025This song is movement.No overthinking. No deep explanations.Just that moment when the night calls and you answer.
Big Willie isn’t running from anything.He’s stepping into the moment.Fresh fit. Clear mind. No apologies.
This is for the fellas who know the mirror check matters.For the nights that aren’t about proving anythingjust showing up as yourself and letting the energy speak.
No drama.No backstory required.Just confidence, rhythm, and that “yeah… I’m outside” feeling.
Turn it up.We’re not staying in tonight.

Duration: 00:02:44Christmas Eve, Brixley
Dec 24, 2025This song is what happens after the tears dry.After the late nights replaying conversations that no longer matter.After choosing yourself without asking permission.
Brixley doesn’t chase closure.She becomes it.
This isn’t a breakup song.It’s a reclamation.Soft where it needs to be.Powerful where it counts.Sexy without trying. Confident without explaining.
This track is for anyone who walked away quieter than expected…and came back louder than ever.
You didn’t lose her.You just couldn’t keep up.
Listen closely.This is what...

Thank You, No Thank You
Dec 23, 2025Thank You, No Thank You is not a breakup song.It’s a declaration.
This is the moment when love turns into clarity.When grace replaces resentment.When strength sounds calm instead of loud.
Brixley delivers a once in a lifetime vocal performance, backed by a full orchestra, where breath, restraint, and soul do the heavy lifting. Every note is intentional. Every pause matters. This is what it sounds like when a woman chooses herself without bitterness, without regret, and without apology.
This song is about growth.About knowing when gratitude is enough.Ab...

Fight or Flight
Dec 22, 2025This record started with one question.Do you fight for love, or do you choose flight?
Big Willie represents the part of us that wants to stay, to fix, to hold on.Brixley is the voice we try to silence when the truth is uncomfortable.
She belts because conflict is loud.She whispers because leaving is quiet.
This isn’t about drama.It’s about self respect, timing, and knowing when the groove no longer fits.
If you enjoy music that carries story, movement, and intention, welcome. You’re in the right...
Duration: 00:03:38I Was Wrong, by Big Willie
Dec 22, 2025This song is a confession, not a performance.
Big Willie steps into the truth with no excuses, no ego, and no shortcuts. Inspired by classic 90s R&B, this track is about owning mistakes, choosing love over pride, and finding the courage to stay when walking away would be easier.
The vocals are raw and layered, pulled from the deepest part of the soul. Piano and strings guide the emotion, while the music swells and recedes under Big Willie’s command. This is remorse with strength, vulnerability with authority, and love that refuses to give up...

Remember My Name, Brixley
Dec 22, 2025This one is about energy. Not anger. Not bitterness. Energy.
Brixley doesn’t explain herself here. She doesn’t soften the message. She lets the beat lead and the truth follow. Inspired by early 90s dance music and built with a live band feel, this track surrounds you with rhythm and refuses to let go.
It’s the sound of choosing yourself.Of not negotiating your worth.Of letting the music do the talking.
Put this on loud. Let it move through you. Then ask yourself where you’ve been holding back.

DONE BEFORE YOU | Part 2 Brixley
Dec 20, 2025DONE BEFORE YOU | Part 2 Brixley
This is what clarity sounds like when it finally gets loud.
Done Before You is Part 2 of a two part musical conversation about love, power, and choosing yourself without hesitation. This is not about getting the last word. It’s about telling the truth before someone else tries to tell it for you.
Brixley’s voice doesn’t chase closure.It commands space.
Backed by live drumline energy and unapologetic rhythm, this record is about recognizing when you’ve already left emotionally and honoring that moment without...

This is the sound of a man choosing himself.
We’re Done is Part 1 of a two part musical conversation about love, misalignment, and the moment when staying costs more than leaving.
There’s no screaming here.No finger pointing.No dramatic exit.
Just the calm authority of someone who finally understands the truth and accepts it.
This song is about restraint.About holding your ground without raising your voice.About knowing that loving someone doesn’t mean losing yourself.
Part 2 is comin...
Duration: 00:04:40Confusion Deceit & Lies
Dec 20, 2025I didn’t write this to be comfortable. I wrote it to be honest.
Confusion, Deceit, and Lies is what happens when you stop swallowing narratives and start questioning them. When calm turns into pressure. When silence turns into sound. When rage gets refined into something focused instead of reckless.
This song lives in the space between nature and noise. Between breath and impact. Between grief and resolve. It’s not about left or right. It’s about what doesn’t add up and what we do next.
Listen closely. Then tell me what you...

Dec 19, 2025This isn’t a performance piece. It’s a statement of care.
Christmas 2025 is not easy for everyone. For many, it’s heavy. Financially. Emotionally. Spiritually. And yet, what I keep seeing across this country is something powerful.
People choosing people. This song and this image represent a simple truth. That we are more than our bank accounts. More than our circumstances. More than the stories told about us. When things get hard, Americans don’t disappear. We step closer. We feed one another. We hold space. We remember what really matters.

OOOH ORANGE BLOB, WHEN WILL U GO AWAY
Dec 18, 2025Oh Orange Blob, Oh Orange Blob is a Christmas song wrapped in sleigh bells, soul, and a side eye.
It sounds festive on the surface. Warm harmonies. Vintage holiday vibes. A groove that feels like a classic Christmas record you swear you heard growing up. But listen closer and it’s asking a question a lot of people are quietly asking between the lights and the laughter.
When will this end?
The song uses holiday cheer as contrast. Bells ringing while accountability lags. Familiar melodies carrying uncomfortable truths. It’s playful, sarcastic, and soul...

Dec 18, 2025I didn’t want to write a Christmas song about buying things.I wanted to write one about belonging.
Because it’s Christmas came from that place. The place where family isn’t always perfect, but love still shows up. Where joy isn’t loud, but it’s steady. Where music carries memory and warmth instead of noise.
This song is for anyone who needs a reminder that Christmas can still feel real. Still feel human. Still feel like light.
Press play. Sit with it. And if it resonates, pass it on.

It opens with gratitude for Netta Fei, whose live program created space for reflection, intuition, and real conversation. It was my first time joining one of her shows, and the experience landed deeper than expected.

Awakening of the Phoenix
Nov 24, 2025Awakening of the Phoenix is more than a song — it’s a testimony wrapped in melody.
Built from the raw words of Aaron Gibson’s first chapter in The Legacy Chronicles with Guiding Brilliant Writers, this piece carries the weight of pain, collapse, silence, fear… and the fire that follows survival.
It doesn’t hide the hard moments.It doesn’t soften the struggle.It tells the truth.

When she writes, she doesn’t just tell stories — she releases truth. The kind that makes you stop breathing for a second. Th...

REESE & RYAN THEME SONG
Nov 16, 2025This is the official Reese and Ryan theme for today’s show. A high-energy track built to match their first-year-in-college chaos. It kicks off with a playful beat, drops into a bright rhythm that feels like late-night campus life, and layers in quick hits that mirror their personalities colliding from Quebec to Kansas. Fast. Fun. A little messy. Completely unforgettable. This is their sound.#ReeseAndRyan #UBULive #CousinTalk #ThemeSongVibes

Nov 03, 2025“The New Dope (Podcast Hustle)”
This track hits like a mic drop in surround sound. “The New Dope (Podcast Hustle)” isn’t just a song — it’s a movement. It’s the anthem for every creator, every voice brave enough to turn their grind into gold. The beat? Heavy. The message? Real. The vibe? Straight entrepreneurial fire.
From family talk to side hustles, from studio dreams to street smarts, this joint celebrates the raw truth behind building something from nothing. It’s for the ones who don’t wait for permission — they just press record.

Nov 02, 2025Power. Loyalty. Legacy.
This track hits like thunder and moves like a marching army of brothers — blood or bond, it doesn’t matter. “No Brother Left Behind” is an anthem built for every man who stands tall with his day ones through every win, loss, and storm.
Fueled by HBCU drumline energy — 30+ live drums, bass that rumbles like heartbeats, horns that roar like victory, and a symphony of violins lifting it all to the heavens — this is more than a song. It’s a statement.
Midway through, a lightning-fast female rap verse tears through the rh...

I Win
Oct 26, 2025This isn’t just a song. It’s a movement.
It opens with the sounds of the city — a carny voice calling you in — and before you know it, you’re standing center stage in a living, breathing world of rhythm and soul. Then the drums hit. One becomes seven. The bass drops in like thunder. Two powerhouse singers take flight, layered over a groove so deep you can feel it in your chest.
At the halfway point, the beat clears — just drums. Pure adrenaline. Then the electric guitar tears through the air, lights flashing in your mind...
