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 <a href="http://www.TheBrownBoys.net">www.TheBrownBoys.net</a>. CDs are available for purchase via the boys’ website, <a href="http://www.TheBrownBoys.ws">www.TheBrownBoys.ws</a> and will soon be available on iTunes and Amazon. However, purchases from their site receive a free autographed poster, as well! <blockquote class="postblock">If you are one of our YBStarz or a young up and coming and you would like for us to post one of your tracks in our Music Monday feature, email us at musicmonday@youngblackstarz.org.

Kwesi ‚Äì Yeah it‚Äôs a big deal for me because I‚Äôm one of Tyler Perry‚Äôs biggest fans and I‚Äôve watched all of his movies and plays so it was like a dream come true for me to be working with him so I was just really excited when I found out that I got the job.

K ‚Äì The thing I loved about my role in the film ‚Äì ‚ÄòManny‚Äô, I liked the way he‚Äôs a smart mouth a little bit and I liked that cause I‚Äôm really the total opposite of him so it‚Äôs a bit of a challenge for me to do the role so I just had to get into the zone and like focus.
