Bryson Gray

Bryson Gray, a rapper with firm Republican loyalties, first gained notice by devoting nearly all his lyrics to support for Donald Trump and conservative political positions. He maintained a highly visible and engaged social media profile while issuing a steady stream of recordings built around those themes, drawing early listeners through the 2020 project Maga Ain't Got No Color and its included track "Trump Is Your President." The anti-Joe Biden single "Let's Go Brandon" followed in 2021 and gave way to 2023's "Reclaim the Rainbow."

North Carolina native Gray achieved his initial national exposure in 2019 by posting a social media challenge that urged fellow Trump supporters to record raps over a beat he supplied celebrating the president. Starting the same year, he began uploading his own tracks online, the vast majority centered on Trump or the surrounding political culture. Early releases such as "The Wall Goin' Up" and "Maga Boy" led to the 2020 collections Maga Ain't Got No Color, Can't Cancel God, and Maga Christmas. After Trump's loss in the presidential election that year, Gray responded with cuts including "Trump Won!" and "Ain't Over Yet," then turned his focus toward President Joe Biden in 2021 through the single "Let's Go Brandon." In June 2023 he issued the anti-LGBTQ+ track "Reclaim the Rainbow," created to protest the Los Angeles Dodgers Pride Night that featured the Queer drag charity group the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence; the song reached the Top Ten of Billboard's Hot Digital Songs chart.
