Quadriplegic Rap Producer Bran-Don aka Professor X Is Determined to Stand Up in the Game With New Mixtape Release "Who Da F*** Is Dat N**** In Dat Wheelchair" Mixtape Pt.1.
- Los Angeles-Long Beach, CA (1888PressRelease) November 30, 2011 - As far back as grade school, young Bran-Don Aubert, aka Professor X, always had a big dream. Hailing from the crime-riddled streets of South Central Los Angeles he wrote his first rhymes in the second grade. Developing a passion for rap while listening to songs by Eazy-E, De La Soul and Too Short, he knew in his heart and soul that if he worked on his rap skills he would one day become a big hip hop star.
As a teenager however, his dreams were seemingly shattered, when one day, while playing around at his high school, a freak wrestling accident left him paralyzed. Not only could he no longer take simple steps or move around, things he had taken for granted; his despair was doubled when he discovered he no longer had the lung capacity to rap! Sixteen years old and the world that he knew and embraced had ended.
Today, as a young man, Professor X is a testimony to the essence of true determination. What might have crushed many only propelled him forward. With true grit and persistence he redirected his energy and stayed in the game. The release of his mixtape series "Who Da F*** Is Dat N**** In Dat Wheelchair" Mixtape Pt.1" presented by DJ Rah2K and TNE DJ's, is a compilation of his production efforts with guest appearances from his crew.
Armed with a plan to change the world's perceptions about disabled artists, Bran-Don, in a stance similar to the popular Marvel Comics superhero, Professor X, is a visionary on a mission. Inspired and motivated by the quadriplegic comic superhero, Bran-Don aka Professor X eventually formed his own entity; an entertainment company called Taupnoych Entertainment and launched his own entourage of DJs known as TNE DJ's.
With the release of his debut mixtape, Professor X hopes to gain massive attention and accolades from rappers and hip hop fans internationally. But even more so, he hopes to inspire those 'abled' and 'disabled' as a living testimony to the fact that there are no setbacks in life.
"In my hood, I was always 'that guy in the wheelchair.' I could hear the whispers about me and folks were always feeling bad for me. But the mind is our greatest muscle and the accident left mine in tact. I used this experience to propel me. Once I realized I might not be that great rapper I always dreamed of, I put my energy into producing. So when they ask now, 'Who the hell is that guy in the wheelchair?' It's Professor X and I'm coming at you to show you if I can do it, so can you! The music is gangsta', because sometimes life can be gangsta'. Regardless though, we are here to win!"
Under the auspices of Taupnoych Entertainment, Professor X has produced music for various hip hop artists, including Jet Black, and E-40's artist Turf Talk. He has formed his own group called, 110, and recorded a track with rapper E-40 titled "Gettin' That Gwop." His artist crew, all featured on the mixtape release, consist of Lost of 110; Gizzle of 110; Cree-8 of 110; Donmo; Interstate Tip; Grown Up Goddi; Dj Mainvybe and J. Money Films. Turf Talk and Compton Menace also make guest appearances on the mixtape release.
