Brandon Caskey
The self-proclaimed black sheep, Brandon Caskey, is a man of multiple creative trades. The American recording artist, poet, and painter was born on August 28, 1992 in Orlando, Florida. He is signed to Cash Money Records.
Caskey is many things, but he is first and foremost a rapper. However, Caskey wasn’t always a huge rap fan. At first, he was more into heavy metal and jazz, but his interest in hip-hop grew through the likes of Nas, AZ, and other rappers with potent content. Their lyrical abilities inspired the Florida native to experiment with rap, leading to a string of independently released mixtapes that have become rare Blowin' Out My Mind, The Intangibles and Homegrown.
His No Complaints mixtape was the one to break the mold. The project attracted the attention of Cash Money CEO Birdman, who then signed Caskey to the label in August of 2012. No Complaints was re-released months later, and his first mixtape under the label, The Transient Classics, was released on his birthday the following August.
