Brent chops up Michael Jackson vocal samples and brings in top tier indie rappers for the remix to his single, "vybrent." - now available everywhere!

Out today, NYC-based rapper/producer Brent Butler's latest track brings the sounds of summer to an already fresh beat, adding an energetic flair and some cool collaboration from rappers Ohene Cornelius and Deascent. "vybrent [REMIX]" is ripe and ready for a never-ending summer, taken up a notch from the original with bold sounds and brand new lyrics.

For an unsigned artist, mostly producing music in his bedroom, this kid's got serious talent. But I'll let you be the judge.

"When rapper, Ohene Cornelius, heard the original '
vybrent' he immediately demanded a remix with a verse of his own. At that time, I still had months of writing and producing ahead of me to finish the EP – remix considerations
were nowhere on my radar."

Undeterred, Ohene crashed a studio session later that week. According to Brent:

"Ohene laid down a verse that captured the energy of the song so perfectly that I began rethinking everything. Cut to the next day: Deascent wanted in as well. His verse completely blew me away; I couldn't ignore fate... a remix was inevitable."

Original "vybrent," featuring indie rapper, Crimdella.


"This is a track I'm probably most proud of. I've always been inspired by producers from Pharrell, to Just Blaze, Kanye, and even rock producers like Rob Cavallo. I hope "vybrent," both the remix and the original would make all of them proud."

2018 has been a big year for Brent. 2 months ago he traveled out to the deserts of California to shoot this new video for another single off his debut solo EP, L I L A C, which was released in June, "in the desert," featuring vocals from the incredible singer, Lauren Renahan.

Popdust featured all three of the talented musicians from "vybrent [REMIX]" (and 8 others!) back in February, when he brought 13 local artists together for the appropriately titled single, "13."

"I'm all about collaborations, so working on my first solo EP, L I L A C, may have had me a bit stir crazy in the studio. When Deascent heard the track and responded with his own 8 bars, I was like... okay let's go nuts... Next it was 4 rappers, then 8, then 11, and it kept going. It easily would have gone over 13, but we drew the line there decided to do a surprise release on the 13th... cuz you know, numbers."
