Producer J.J. Brown [click to watch] and audio engineer Dan “The Deacon” Maier are teaming up to release J.J. Brown’s debut solo album Connect The Dots.
“The phrase ‘Connect The Dots.’ actually comes up a lot in the studio because 99% of this industry is hustle, and the harder you’re grinding, the more people you end up knowing,” J.J. Brown explained in a statement. “The real trick is to be clever with how you connect all the dots to make yourself a part of the most fruitful network possible for where you’re trying to go. My album came together just like that from every guest appearance to every VIP behind the scenes making it happen.”
Connect The Dots will feature a number of noteworthy appearances from artists such as Travis McCoy of Gym Class Heroes, Reef The Lost Cauze, Homeboy Sandman, Nola Darling, Poison Pen, and more. The album will be released on November 10.
