Brooklyn born, Houston bred rapper Brklyn FlyWlkr draws inspiration from James Dean for his debut project.

Inspired by the late great James Dean and his movie East of Eden,  BrklynFlywlkr drops his new single “B***h I’m Extravagant,“ greatly influenced by the world around him.  Although his debut project East of Eden reflects the movie’s themes of acceptance, greatness, and the ability to be one’s own worst enemy, East of Eden is for his fans.  The popular rapper is well known across the Texas A&M campus for his lyrical prowess, and ties with many members of the Aggie football squad, which has catapulted him front and center of the campus’ ever-watchful student body.

“This project is really for the fans and for those around town and throughout Texas that have supported my music so far.  In a lot of ways, this project is like the James Dean movie because he goes against the grain:  He’s racing cars and making all this illegal money.  It’s basically him against his brother, and I feel this strongly mirrors the themes in the movie.  My sound is a different sound than what you normally hear out of Texas because of my Brooklyn roots, but you can still hear the influence from both parts of the country.  I started rapping in Houston, but early on, growing up, I was listening to a lot of New York sounds, so my influences have grown and changed over time,” he said.

East of Eden will be released in June via Rowand Records and will be available on DatPiff for free download.
