Hip-hop artist AllWhiteBrix, drops by GreenPharms Studios to sesh and drop some phresh new tracks
TEMPE, Ariz.—In keeping with the apparent laid-back hangout atmosphere established in the series kickoff, Phresh Pharm Sessions’ second episode was every bit as much of a smokingly good time to film.
For the second installment in its new series, GreenPharms welcomed AllWhiteBrix, an up-and-coming Valley hip-hop artist, who, along with two members of his crew, Jahi and Isaiah, came by for a visit.
The episode got underway with a brief chat about the man behind the music. Over the course of several joints and dabs, AllWhiteBrix—given name Brixton—gave us the rundown of how he got his start in hip hop.
As he explains, he copped the name in his early teens from a lyric in a Lil Wayne single titled We Be Steady Mobbin’ (“All white bricks, I’m straight like it’s jumpin’ back to thirty-six”). Seeing an opportunity, he modified the phrase to fit with his name, and the rest is history. In addition to Weezy, Brix discovered a wealth of seminal hip hop artists, diving head-first into the genre zealously, albeit with one small hurdle.
Growing up in a religious household meant that if Brixton was going to hone his hip-hop prowess, he would have to do so under the radar. Nevertheless, he furtively pored over the classics, working his way through the hits and learning everything he could about the music he’d come to love.
During the time he was listening to his heroes turn their troubles into music, Brixton was going through turmoil in his own life. While he was still in high school, his parents divorced, throwing his life into abject upheaval.
Soon, however, he found himself turning to poetry as a way of coping and articulating his experience. After realizing that some his poems went well with a rhythm, he began putting together tracks made with beats he’d found on YouTube. These days, although AllWhiteBrix works with a number of producers, and has even opened for some big acts, he is humble about his beginnings.
Recently, his star is seemingly on the rise. In January, the young rapper had an opportunity to share a stage with Afroman, only a month before also providing support for Suga Free and Twista at the Celebrity Theater.
Brixton’s sights are intently set on the future. In the coming year, he plans on releasing a myriad of singles, while also aiming to continue sharing the stage with legendary names and fellow local artists alike. Here’s hoping we’ll be seeing more of AllWhiteBrix and his unique style, comprised of thoughtful lyrics and a contagious optimism scarcely seen.
