Big Brother Dee's new CD "U"
Now, I'm listening to I
On the same level I really liked God of a 2nd Chance. I felt like I was being filled in on years of no communication. It is one of my childhood memories telling me what it (my memory which encompasses my cuz) went through and how things are.
A little Reggae ton huh with Luv em anyway... Very nice and is very danceable. And, it really hits home, had to listen to it a couple times to look for inspiration in a "yeah, that's wut I'm sayin" way, for the devil is very active in my life.
Ding Dong song will blow up make sure I get backstage passes to your concert. The rest of the songs are great as well.
The Music is wonderful as always
Congratulations! Your CD cover and all that accompanies it puts a bright spot in my day amiss all the depressing news of late.
After 11 years laboring in the vineyard as half of the anointed duo L.I.F.E., Gospel recording artist Julius D. Givens – known in the Gospel recording arena as “Big Brother Dee” is venturing out by the move of God!
Experience and a journey of faith have clearly taught Big Brother Dee that everything he has learned that was worth learning was in a school called “Pain!” He knows there is no mercy or justice on the streets and there are even fewer soldiers out there fighting the battle in the Army of the Lord!
To a great extent, “Big D” walked through the garden of time, winding down memory lane to give us stories of his childhood experiences, drug addiction, and personal spiritual beliefs. These trips gave support to putting down some serious beats to keep even the hardest brothas and sistahs heads bobbin! His testimony of how God delivered him from the streets to sing His praises and carry the Good News to those who are still out there is illuminating!
Please take a listen for yourself and be prepared to be blessed and inspired. We have witnessed for ourselves the effect his musical performances have had on people from all walks of life – saved and seeking! Come and see for yourself how “Big Brother Dee” commands attention when he praises the Lord onstage as well as on the mean streets of
“Big D” is stepping out on faith … ready to take his place, as a solo Gospel artist, in this urban and contemporary Gospel explosion. He is God’s man who loves to feed the sheep and don’t mind cleaning out the stalls! Those in the Gospel recording arena clearly expect he will be the next Gerald Levert, Luther Vandross and/or Heavy D of Gospel. God has already ordained and that settles it!
Plan to purchase this brother’s CDs and get ready to be drawn into the presence of God with his compassionate, bold and contagious faith put into song and melodious composition.
One Love … God Bless … and Shalom (the Peace that only comes from God)! ”U " The Album You asked for it and now you've got it, the solo debut release from one of the Realist Brothers out there. With vocal styling reminiscent of Luther, Gerald, Curtis, and Heavy D. you’re in for a unique Urban, Gospel, Neo, R&B, Reggae, Inspirational, and Soul Journey like you've never heard before. Musical Influences ranging from Traditional Gospel, Jazz, Opera (yeah that's right O P E R A), and even Rock and Roll, and Hip Hop, allowed this Brother to pour his heart out to God and confess his sins and short comings publicly, in hopes that someone out there still caught up will realize there is a way out of the madness this world can sometimes leave you in, and that way is Jesus, "The Truth, The Way, and The Life". The first song "Ding Dong (Hear U Knockin)" is his confession of denial and rebellion against God's calling to set him free from the pain and confusion that had him in bondage, with a Dance Hip Hop Beat, a very catchy melodic hook and some humorous Rap lyrics, he reminds us that God is always there waiting patiently for us to accept his calling.

Then there is the Reggae inspired "Luv Em Anyway (Shake the Devil Off)" that will have you dancing like David danced while letting us know that we must practice Agape Love no matter what!!!
The heart felt ballads "I Don't Know Why" has him asking why God keeps on loving him.
Then the song "God of a 2nd Chance" turns around and answers that very question. He croons to these very beautifully and uniquely produced tracks from two (2) music masters; Dwight "Dwitty" Emile of L.A., and Mr. Slava from
World Renowned producer of the famous Whispers Ted Robinson, adds his flavor with the funkadelic/Parliamentesque Groove on "Down", where Big D testifies of how good God is, while he gets his praise on, Trust, you will too.
There are so many different styles on this CD, Jazz inspired, "I Run 2 U" ,
the Chicago Style, "Holdin On" and "On & On", will have you stepping for Jesus.
Contemporary Gospels, “Don’t Doubt”, "U Said" and "You Don't Know", will make you think Luther was in the room singing Gospel, Halleluiah!
He gets very personal and real on, "Chill Today" and “In the Middle of the Night”, where he bares his soul on where God has brought him from and thru.
There are several more songs that will make the hardest brother and sister sit back, chill, and think about the loved ones they've lost, , "I Call U" and where their lives are heading,
"Have Mercy", both songs feature streetwise rapper K-OSS, while grooving to smooth Neo Soul and Poppin Hip Hop Beats. We have to celebrate the Gospel Anthem,
"I Need U", that will have you shouting, “Lorororord I Need U!" Finally there is,
“I Love U”, which simply says to the world that he loves God more than words can say. Just open your heart and you too will feel the pure emotion he expresses.
The bottom-line is, here are 18 tracks of the most diverse Urban Inspirational, Jazz, and Neo, Contemporary.... and all this is done for the Glory of God. He has hopes of reaching those who will never purposely listen to Gospel, and for those of you who do, but still need something to listen to that will keep your heads bobbin, sing along to, or just sooth your soul. There is,” U ", nuff said, enjoy and be blessed>>>
