Today’s Music Monday selection is a song from The Brown Boys (profile) entitled “Here Come The Brown Boys,” which comes from their debut album of the same name. The Brown Boys rhyme along to a head-bobbing R&B track, announcing their arrival to the music scene. We love that the song has creative spunk but is still positive. Like the chorus of the song says, these boys are really “goin’ up,” and we can’t wait to see what else they have in store.

“Here Come The Brown Boys,” which was just released in December 2009 is a very diverse album featuring music that is inspirational to both youth and adults. Hear snippets of the boys’ entire CD available now on their MySpace at www.TheBrownBoys.net. CDs are available for purchase via the boys’ website, www.TheBrownBoys.ws and will soon be available on iTunes and Amazon. However, purchases from their site receive a free autographed poster, as well!
