About Me

Born in Jersey City, NJ, and raised in Bayonne, NJ, Brandon "Bizz" Stokes was bred to be a star. Although he always had a love for hip-hop, Bizz was on the verge of becoming an all-star basketball guard in high school. Basketball runs in the family; he is the brother of the McDonalds All-American, and Villanova shooting guard, Corey Stokes. But after several serious injuries ended his sports career, Bizz turned to music full-time and signed with Blakglobe Records in 2005 and has infiltrated the mix-tape circuit from the east coast, mid-west, down south, and overseas in Germany. Bizz has previously been featured on DJ Flipcyide's compilation album "Slept on Vol. 3" hosted by Paul Wall and various other mixtapes including "We Run NJ" featuring Joe Budden, Sam Scarfo, Ransom, Big Lou and Serius Jones.

In 2006 Blakglobe Records released a compilation album titled "Blaktrilogy" which Bizz was featured throughout. The album was distributed throughout the Northeast, in Tower Records, several mom and pop stores, and online websites. Bizz's pin - point flow, witty word play, originality, and ability to make hit records will set him apart in the game. Bizz is set to release his solo album debut in the summer of 2008. In December 2007, Blakglobe Records inked a joint venture with Colossal Entertainment, home of former State Property/Rocafella Records artist Omillio Sparks. The album, still untitled as of now," is set for release in the 2nd quarter of ‘09 and will be distributed through Koch Entertainment. Blakglobe reports that the album's 2 street/buzz singles, "Drop It Down (Miami Version) ft. YS & Dj Rhymer" produced by Slam (Sony BMG) and “Realist Spittin ft. Kinetic 9 of Killarmy” are picking up steam in several clubs throughout the Northeast, Midwest (Ohio and Pittsburgh), and South Florida region. Former Wu-Tang producer 4th Disciple mixed down both songs and "Drop It Down" was mastered by Chris Gehringer @ Sterling Sound in NYC. The video for “Drop it Down” is on youtube.com and has been serviced to other major outlets.

So far in '08, Bizz has been building his buzz a huge amount by hitting the road and becoming more visible. He made appearances among a ton of star athletes and major artists at NBA All-Star weekend in New Orleans, the CIAA tournament in North Carolina, and the Worldwide Core DJ's Retreat in New Orleans. He established a huge following in Ohio, and Pittsburgh by getting “Drop it down” on 106.7 Wamo, doing several shows, and promoting in his shrink wrapped truck. Bizz also has a nice following in Miami on the underground scene with the success of “Drop it Down.”

It's that rare New Jersey sound has earned him major credibility throughout the state, recognition in Scratch Magazine, Rap Fanatic Magazine, www.hiphopgame.com, and several more online sites. "What sets me apart from every other artist besides my versatility is that I'm not motivated by money and fame. My love, passion, and dedication to making real music are what inspire me to take it to the next level. I'm a breath of fresh of air." The official 1st single will be "In a Minute" feat. Q-Parker from 112, and is produced by Saintman & the legendary Bunny Sigler. Bizz and Q. Parker performed it for the 1st time at this past Core Dj’s Retreat in South Carolina. It got rave reviews from everyone and the Core Dj’s rated it in the top 20 songs at the entire retreat. “In a Minute” is available on Itunes, Rhapsody, and several other mp3 sites. The 2nd single will be “Ringtone ft. Freeway.” Bizz also just released a slew of hot freestyles including “Pop Champagne ft. Freeway”, which are all over the internet, Bizz’s myspace and imeem pages, and several mix-tapes. For more information on Bizz, please visit www.myspace.com/bizzonline and www.imeem.com/bizzonline.
