Brutha

The Harrell brothers, a five-man R&B vocal ensemble native to Los Angeles, counted Anthony, Cheyenne (aka Poppa), Grady, Jacob, and Jared among its members; the group secured a Def Jam contract and issued its self-titled debut under the name Brutha toward the close of 2008. That album, built around contributions from Ne-Yo, Jazze Pha, Elvis "BlacElvis" Williams, and Dwayne "D-Town" Nesmith, landed simultaneously with the premiere season of Brothers to Brutha, the BET reality series that chronicled the siblings.
