Bryan J is a young R&B artist to keep an eye on, as he recently signed with Red Zone/Island Def Jam through Tricky Stewart (Beyonce, Rihanna, The Dream, Justin Bieber) and promises to make a name for himself sooner than later.
He’s already off to a great start having a smash single on his hands alongside the hottest independent group in the country, Travis Porter.
Bryan J stopped by HipHopAtLunch.com’s offices to discuss his hit single, “Let Me Take You Out,” the song’s viral video, working with Travis Porter, and his upcoming projects.
Deciding to drop his official debut single on Travis Porter’s Proud To Be A Problem mixtape was a great move, as the project set two worldwide Twitter trending topics and became the number eleventh most searched Google term on the day of its release.
In addition to having his single, “Let Me Take You Out,” on the project, Bryan J provided the hook on Travis Porter’s serious track, “Keep Ya Head Up.”
Bryan J – “Let Me Take You Out” (Featuring Travis Porter)
This extremely playful song should kill at radio, especially when the official video drops!
Here’s the ridiculously catchy hook:
“Lemme take you out, (Yea let me take you out),
Baby girl you’s a cutie, (Baby girl you’s a cutie),
Baby lemme take you out, (Yea Lemme take you out),
To a dinner and a movie, (Aye, Aye),
We ain’t gotta go home, (we ain’t gotta go home),
It ain’t all about your booty, (It ain’t all about your booty),
Baby let me take you out, (Baby let me take you out),
Baby let me take you out, (Baby let me take you out),
Baby let me take you out.”
Like Bryan J stated in our interview, Travis Porter and himself brought the same high level energy to “Let Me Take You Out” as they had in the video for “Uh Huh Part 2″ off of Travis Porter and Waka Flocka’s Streets R Us mixtape.
Travis Porter – “Uh Huh Part. 2″
The first time I heard this track, Quez and Strap’s intro had me hooked:
“If you know you do it big, and you a bad bitch,
Clap your hands, clap your hands,
If your girlfriend thick, but you know you the shit,
Clap your hands, baby clap your hands.”
Everybody stop and stare when she walks in the room,
I said girl you the bomb, she tick ticked and went boom.”
Those are some funny lines. Also, just like in “Let Me Take You Out,” “Uh Huh Part 2″ has another infectious hook from Bryan:
“If your girlfriend cute, but you know that you the bomb,
Say uh huh, uh huh,
If you’re chillin in the club with your hair and nails done,
Say uh huh, uh huh,
The stage light up, yea we came to party,
Walk up to the bar, she asking for Bacardi,
Lil mama the truth, she the life of the party,
Say uh huh, uh huh.”
To give you a sense of what Bryan J sounds like, outside of working with his friends Travis Porter, check out “Sneakin Thru Ya Window.”

The bass on that track is crazy.
Before he left our offices, Bryan J gave me a sneak peak at his upcoming mixtape. Trust me when I say it’s gonna be crazy!
