'“IN SPACE – the crossover between rapper Bryson the Alien and producer Blu – is far from your typical collaboration. Rather than working together in the studio, Bryson was given exclusive access to Blu’s catalogue of beats, and with that power, he put together an entire LP. This makes IN SPACE a one-of-a-kind collaboration: one where the beats date as far back as 2015, while the raps were recorded almost a decade later. The end-product is an extraterrestrial odyssey of a rap album, blending the jazzy grooves of the West Coast with the futuristic flair of a faraway galaxy…”

IN SPACE… (2024)
KEYBOARD KID VS. BRYSON THE ALIEN (2024)
The new five-song release is a collaboration with Seattle-based producer and beatmaker Keyboard Kid, with notable features from emcees Lil B and Fat Tony who both live in Southern California. Surprisingly, Bryson didn’t know any of them well before the pandemic hit.
“It has been a blessing in that [respect],” said the rapper about the increased remote collaboration among musicians in the wake of the pandemic.
Without that development, he’s not entirely sure he’d be getting some of those opportunities. “Who knows if I would have been able to slow these people down long enough for them to check their email.”
That newfound accessibility is a boon for hungry young musicians like Bryson. That being said, recording and producing remotely and entirely at home has taken some getting used to.

KUMA (2023)
Technically Bryson’s 8th studio album. Beats by Ghowste. Mixed by Jake Bowman. Mastered by Us. Featuring Tezmanian, Fatboi Sharif & Just Alfa.
“Hypnotic, lo-fi atmosphere laced with a surreal mood and vibrant lyricism.”
“The production creates a “sheets of sound” effect that pairs cohesively with the emcees’ off-the-wall flows and outside-the-box lyricism.”
“Thoughtful lyrics that enhance the nocturnal, meditative feel of the instrumentation. Lulling the listener into something of a dreamstate with its syrupy key chords and baritone flows…”
Quotes from Roundhouse Music
SECRET HOUSE AGAINST [EP]
Considered a companion release to KUMA — The SECRET HOUSE AGAINST project by Bryson was inspired by the Tokyo based underground hip-hop arts & culture discussion show on Youtube SECRET HOUSE AGAINST THE WORLD. Entirely produced by Ghowste. Mixed by Bryson. Mastered by Sumalienz. Album art by Just Alfa & Bryson.
Bryson and his musical arch nemesis, Deep Thought, put aside their differences once again to bring us another genre-bending body of work. This one’s leaner, but just as strong in lyrical imagery and colorful sci-fi-tinted hip-hop production. Their debut effort, Pen, Wand, or Laser Gun?, which graced our ethers just a few months prior (in December 2022), opened a new sonic universe for fans of both artists to explore and ponder on. This tape continues from where they left off, bringing a desert/psych rock influence into the equation.

Pen, Wand, Or Laser Gun? (2022)
Upon hearing “Snakes” from UAP’s Casual Abductions project, Deep Thought DM’d Bryson summer 2022 to connect and work on music. For the next few months, they crafted several projects worth of tunes. Pen, Wand, Or Laser Gun? being the first offering from the two. Featuring the hits: “Ron Simmons”, “Soul Music” and “For The Ladies”. Not to mention some stellar verses from Tezmanian. A poignant hip-hop debut from the pairing, displaying a unique mix of boom bap, trap and sci-fi drenched electronica.

The Great Adventures Of… (2022)
The initial recording of the album began during the pandemic in 2020, with 3 early versions of tracks for Lucern Raze's "International Breakdown" compilation.
After a great response from those tracks, Bryson and Luke decided to get to work on a full length album together, following the same work method as before, but with more focus on Bryson's talents.
The record is a beautiful blend of punk-rock sonics with hip-hop lyricism making for a truly unique and groundbreaking studio album.
