No Shade director Sean Anthony helms the very first Music Video by openly gay rap artist, Bry’nt. The release of the song “Keep the Streets” also marks the official return to Hip Hop music by the artist after a 3-year hiatus. During this break the attractive gay rapper tried his hand at modeling and acting, making appearances in the film and web series “Finding Me” as well as a brief stint hosting Derrick L. Brigg’s ADTV.
Believe it or not, Bry’Nt indirectly inspired the creation of Cypher Avenue. It was 4 years ago that I searched online to find black gay films and stumbled on a result stating that “Out gay rapper” Bry’Nt had been cast in an upcoming indie film.
“Out gay rapper?!” I said to myself. “But Wendy Williams is still on her witch hunt looking for the Gay Rapper. How can one already exist?”
A few Google searches later led me to Bry’Nt, Lasto, DJ Baker’s Doo Dirty Show and many more gay websites, podcasts and media personalities. Although they were black and gay like myself, I couldn’t really relate to most of what I discovered. So 2-years later I approached Ocky Williams about starting our own blog and the rest is history.
It all started with Bry’Nt’s hustle. That’s really what it comes down to in my view of Bry’Nt. I may not be a huge fan of his work, but I can’t deny he’s got no shortage of good looks, talent, drive and hustle. Here, 4-years-later, he’s still making his mark earning his place as one of the more famous out gay men of color in the game.
Check out his first official music video below:
IT WAS QUITE GOOD- enjoyed the rhythm, lyrics on point, cinematography- good, concept – very good- and as for him- he’s a looker alright – cant get tired of seeing him around.
I am not big on Hip Hop..but I do enjoy Bry’Nt. I wish him all the success in the world.
I liked it…..well kinda.
The track is nice, but i can only see a song like this being played in a smoke filled club accompanied by a mix of other tracks. In other words, the beat is nice but the song can’t carry itself alone. I needed more mids and bass lines. And I also needed to see some of BRY’NT’s booty…. I’ve been waiting damn too long 🙂
@blackpegasus I anticipate your responses ,and you dont dissapoint lol
I enjoyed that. I am more of an R&B person but I appreciate all music. Proud that he is breaking barriers
Wow he is really doing the damn thing as an independent artist. I admire his hustle. Go Bry’Nt. People don’t understand it now but people like him, Kaoz and LastO are paving the way for gay black rappers in the future. For real.
Not trying to take away from his talent….it must be an age thing because his beats & flow sound like every other rapper that came out after 2005…wish him the best with his career
I hit repeat on this to listen to the beat and lyrics and i must say it’s very good. But, one the bass line needs to come in a little bit harder. Trust, it would def. be a club banger. The one thing why a lot of artist don’t last long in this industry the marketing for the artist is lack luster. I work in and around the entertainment industry and there is so many talented artist who get no love because of poor marketing. Support these indie artists please!! EVERYBODY’S GOTTA EAT YAH DIGG!!
Bry’nt is really talented and it’s really good to see him back out making music.
