Mysonne

Mysonne Linen, known professionally as Mysonne, is a Bronx-based rapper and activist who has been making waves in the music industry and social justice scene for over two decades.

Born and raised in the Bronx, Mysonne grew up surrounded by the harsh realities of poverty, violence, and police brutality. These experiences would later shape his music and advocacy work, as he became a vocal advocate for social justice and human rights.

Mysonne’s music career began in the late 1990s, with his debut single “The Verdict” gaining widespread attention for its powerful lyrics and message. He went on to release several successful albums, collaborating with notable artists such as Jay-Z and DMX.

However, Mysonne’s career was not without controversy. In 2005, he was arrested and charged with assault and weapons possession, serving several years in prison. This experience only strengthened his resolve to fight for social justice, as he became an outspoken critic of the criminal justice system and its treatment of marginalized communities.

Mysonne has been involved in several high-profile feuds with fellow rappers, including a notable beef with rapper and former friend, Jadakiss. However, he has also collaborated with numerous artists, using his platform to bring attention to social and political issues.

In recent years, Mysonne has become a prominent figure in the Black Lives Matter movement, using his music and platform to speak out against police brutality and systemic racism. He has worked closely with organizations such as the Justice League NYC and the National Action Network, advocating for policy changes and community empowerment.

Despite facing numerous challenges and setbacks, Mysonne remains a powerful voice in the music industry and social justice movement. His unwavering commitment to his community and his craft has inspired countless fans and fellow artists, cementing his legacy as a true hip-hop legend.

I GOT BARS. I GOT BARS. I GOT BARS.

This is a common phrase when it comes to rap. The terminology is a consice way of telling people I rap and I’m good at it. However the three words take on a life of their own when affiliated to Brute Camp. Brute Camp is a two member Hip Hop group comprised of NYC rappers Profit and  King Sleeps.
Prophit met King Sleeps in the Winter of 2005 at the Brooklyn Woods Workshop, at that point Brute Camp was formed. I GOT BARS became the mantra.

Profit is from Venezuela, raised as a kid in Colombia and moved to the United States in the summer of 1991 at the age of seven.  King Sleeps, Born in Brooklyn, NY into a musical household, Sleeps began developing his craft at the tender age of seven.

In the hip hop culture it is imperative to stand out and be noticed. This is true when it comes to Brute Camp. Their music weighs on the side of brash and in your face, with songs like Overrated and Shake and Twerk. The two members who are very much different on the surface combine to make a perfect match in music and business. Profit who is affectionately known as Proph takes standing out very personal. The start of the I GOT BARS apparel line with everything from Neck ties to T-shirts has been pushed by Proph and Sleeps.  There’s not a place Proph or Sleeps has been seen without thitm repping their brand. When asked How did the idea of I Got Bars come about? Proph answered ” The idea I Got Bars came about to make a point that listeners were not too interested in the lyrics or the message that a song had so we incorporated I got bars into clothing were audience could see what we were really are about.

Proph also states coming to  the USA in 1991was imperative for his families survival.  During them years, it was heavy poverty and a high crime rate percentage, Pablo Escobar era.

Both crew members agree it was a great idea to bring out I GOT BARS to the public eye. The rationalization is since people don’t want to hear it or know about it they will have to see it.  They go further and believe it brings a lot musicians together in different genres. I Got Bars apparal can be seen on the likes of celebrities such as Wyclef, swizz beats, Remy Ma, 50cent, Benzino, Joell Ortiz, Keith Murray, KRS One, Mc Lyte, Black Rob, Murda Mook, Fred the Godson, Producer illmind, Chris Rivers, Cory Gunz, Papoose, Charlie Clips, Cassidy and more.

Brute camp’s  drive comes from being lyricists and artists that enjoy story telling in a music form. The listener can hear the message and visualize what is being presented to them.

To shine light on their music, Brute Camp has numerous music videos, songs streaming on SoundCloud and other internet resources. In all fairness, their stamp I Got Bars is better known than the groups official name which is BRUTE CAMP. My job as a journalist and writer is to bring awareness and inform individuals of what they should be tuned in to. BRUTE CAMP. The music should be listened to for entertainment, lyrics and visual storytelling.

When you think of real Hip Hop think of BRUTE CAMP and know they Have Bars.
