Music | Boog Brown-My Love (ft. Poodie The Byz)
Boog Brown’s new album, Brown Study, is now available via Mello Music Group and addition to the album she has put out a new single to celebrate the release. For her latest, Boog injects the hip-hop world with a little dose of romance with the track “My Love.”
“My Love” explores often-untouched terrain in the hip-hop community: true love. “Tryin to find that balance with romance in this type of industry that I am in can be difficult,” says Boog. “I wanted to write a true love song that wasn’t all cheese.” While the task of getting harder heads to listen up to such a delicate topic can be a tall order, Boog takes on the task and excels. With a sultry hook and fervent yet endearing lyrics the emcee’s message of “Love makes the world go round, love is balance” is not only heard but, like her budding career, is respected by her peers.
Boog Brown’s new album Brown Study is now available via Mello Music Group on iTunes.

With a no nonsense line of attack, Boog shows off why she is quickly establishing herself as a lyrical heavy weight and holds her own along side longtime friends and lyrical specialists Invincible and Miz Korona, showing off wit and dexterity with lyrics like, “The goddess is all this and then some/ Thumbin’ my nose at hoes and all critics – you can all get it/ I’m authentic, arsenic wit a flow all liquid/ No argument/ Heavy weight lyrics like I move large shipments/ Bo-guard the diction/ Good God it’s sickening.”
Boog Brown and Apollo Brown’s album Brown Study will be available September 28th via Mello Music Group.
