Blanco Brown’s “The Git Up” has taken the world by storm as it hits #1 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs Chart, jumping 4-1 in its fifth week, making it “the quickest coronation since Sam Hunt’s ‘Body Like a Back Road’” (Billboard). The breakthrough hit is also the top-selling digital Country song in the United States this week via Nielsen Music (and second-selling song all-genre). “The Git Up” is already nearing the Country Airplay charts with 786,000 Country radio audience impressions (3 million impressions all-genre) following appearances on The Bobby Bones Show, NPR’s Fresh Air and several other radio stations. In response to the demand, the viral hit will impact Country radio July 15.

On May 31, Blanco Brown debuted his self-titled debut EP and introduced the world to a new genus of music, which he affectionately calls “TrailerTrap.” His music, inspired by his youth growing up in the projects in Atlanta during the school year and rural Georgia during the summers, draws upon the rawness and storytelling abilities of his two biggest musical influences, Johnny Cash and Outkast, to seamlessly blend Country and hip-hop music.

Blanco was signed to BBR Music Group/BMG in 2018 and in January was named one of Billboard’s “7 Country Acts to Watch in 2019,” and while this is Blanco’s first foray as an artist, he is a veteran in the industry, having produced top name artists like Fergie, Childish Gambino, Chris Brown and Kane Brown (to name a few). He is a multi-talented creative visionary who can write, sing, play multiple instruments (including, but not limited to, guitar, lap steel, spoons, harmonica and tambourine), dance, coach, direct, design and produce.
