Prime example #1. NamedBran goes H.A.M. at Cafe Lura December 1st - Teflon Media and V-Dub Present: Bigger Than The Hype #1
The very next day was a fool! NamedBran was in the building at Murphy's 7414 W. Madison in Forest Park, IL for the 6Ring Hosted Championship Friday #26 along with his partner in crime Tommy Gibbs, and the Gator! NamedBran performed on a feature with Number 2 of 6 Rings ENT, produced by Grant Parks called Stack That Paper and the crowd loved it as usual! NamedBran and Number 2 have numerous collab projects coming soon in the first quarter of next year! Stay in tune with the #SmokePark #ChiUnity Movement! Safe to say they made some new friends. The 6 Rings Team got it in with killer performances from Phive 10, as well as Doctor Red and many other great acts! You gotta see it for yourself to believe it how it was going down!

In loving memory of his beloved "Gramma" Evelyn Sanders, NamedBran B. Hi continues Tryin Hard Under God. Today, 11/11/11 marks the 12th anniversary of Gramma's transition through the pearly gates of heaven. It was the original release date scheduled for NamedBran's first official album. Unfortunately the album has been pushed back potentially to a 2012 spring release, with the tentative title, T.H.U.G. Iz T.H.U.G. - Get Up 2 It. Allow me to break that down for you. Tryin Hard Under God Iz The Highest Under God, and NamedBran B. Hi, which is why others must aspire to get UP to it! The aim is higher ground! You follow me? This has been another remarkable year, full of obstacles accomplishments, and other ish. Prayers go up and blessings come down! I'm Tryin Hard Under God until my spirit is in heaven and my flesh is in the ground!
While unable to perform at 100% the Code Redd fam was still as busy as ever. After getting back heavy on the show scene, it was time to flood the streets once again with that #TryinHardUnderGodMusic, and now NamedBran Productions brings you the T.H.U.G. DVD series as well. The first DVDS were released in 2010 titled "NamedBran B. Hi -Tha Last Hope Dvd" while his partner Tommy Gibbs "Da Inspiration" simultaneously dropped the "Code Redd Da Inspiration Dvd" This was only the beginning of their editing and directing.
Tommy Gibbs "Da Inspiration" made his return to the show scene with a vengeance!!! Da Inspiration got down in front of a packed house at 6Rings Championship Fridays #24 at Murphy's in Forest Park, IL. That Code Redd boy is back in action and he definitely had the joint crackin! It seems as if they cannot be stopped. Honor the Code....CODE REDD 4 LIFE!!!
Now, after a long topsy turvy year everything is falling back into place. Big Un and Sweeney Todd of Mob Action have been networking, doing shows and making moves. So the CRMA team never fully left the scene. EVER! NamedBran Productions has released the "NamedBran B. Hi - Now Ya Heard Of Me Dvd" as well as the dedication to the fallen souljahs, the"Thug In Peace: Livin Fast - West Side Chi Dvd" in addition to collaborating with Code Redd Films to release the "Kickin It With CRMA (Code Redd & Mob Action) Dvd". All of these are heavy on the scene in the streets right now, and are actually available in stores exclusively at the Exclusive Quickcomm located on Lake & Central (in the lot next to Prestige Liquor store). In the just the past couple of months alone thousands of dvd's have hit the neighborhoods. Be on the lookout for a T.H.U.G. dvd in a hood near u soon (if not ALREADY).
In America, potentially innocent black men are executed
While guilty white women are free to roam the streets
The land of the free or the home of the slaves...which is it?
The truth is so plain to see!!!
This a modern day lynching at its finest.....Sweet Georgia
Ok so I'm sure by now you've heard who Troy Davis is. I'd like to raise an alarming question though at this point. Why has this not been exposed like it should have. I'll tell you why...because we as a people have to do a better job of communicating with one another regarding topics of importance instead of ignorance. While we sit and have trivial, meaningless conversations all over the web, we could actually utilize these social networking sites to spread knowledge. Now I'm no guru, but damn, wouldn't it make more sense if we discussed actions and possiblities of saving a man's life, as opposed to whether or not Ray J kicked Fabulous's ass after the Mayweather fight??? Or how bout them Emmy's huh? Look what such n such had on....smh Thats some BULLSHIT! THIS IS BULLSHIT, and I challenge you to battle ignorance with intelligence. Now I'm not the only one who noticed this story didn't captivate the mainstream media's attention almost all the way up until execution time for Mr. Davis. Check this youtube video out....
Here's about 24 BARS of #greatness! This song is featured on Tha Flood Mixtape by the Flagrant 2 (NamedBran & ItsFee), tune into NamedBranMusicTelevision on youtube thats NamedBranMusicTelevision Tune in regularly as videos are constantly uploaded for your viewing pleasure! There's also enough Chicago randomness to keep ya coming back for more! Follow @NamedBran

After performing as a finalist in the Cricket Sings contest, NamedBran B. Hi continued to show his determination as well as professionalism and love for his craft and went on to perform two more times with his jaw still wired shut! He rocked the I AM CHICAGO MUSIC Showcase hosted by Teflon Media at the Un Club in Des Plaines!
NamedBran goes HAM with a broke jaw and all! Watch the video below!
Then he went out to Plano along with his partner, Sweeney Todd, and smashed the Chi Town's Most Wanted Showcase hosted by Chi Scene Radio! The wires came off about a week after the Plano show, and as you should already know NamedBran was back HEAVY on the show grind! In July he was at Second Saturday Session at The Music Lounge & 1st and 3rd Championship Friday's at Murphy's hosted by 6 Rings Ent!!! In addition to hosting and performing in the Friday Nite Hip Hop Showcase at Subterranean!

Action were invited by Neva More of Crucial Conflict to perform at Toyota Park for a charity event! All proceeds from the concert were given to a family in need of money for medical expenses for a child burned terribly in a fire in the Englewood community! Check out this live performance by NamedBran B. Hi along with the C.R.M.A. fam! This is just a taste of how it goes down!
Oh yeah, its safe to say, NamedBran B. Hi is ON ONE!!! Here's another sample of what you've been missing! NamedBran goes absolutely HAM at Murphy's in Forest Park, IL. Can u say CRACKIN??? NamedBran can lol!!! Check out his live performance at Championship Friday's #21.....

Ok so its been a minute since I got my blog on....so here goes nothing! Yes I have still been out here performing despite the fact that my jaw has been wired shut for over a month now. This is simply what you call DETERMINATION my friends. I'm performing this weekend out in Plano, at Hard Daze! The doors open at 8pm and there's no cover, so I invite you all to come on out and see what that do! We finna get it crackin out there in Plano.
