Maurice Mobetta Brown - Betta Days

Maurice Mobetta Brown  — Betta Days

Limited edition pink with green splatter colored vinyl

Maurice "Mobetta" Brown has always thrived at the crossroads between jazz and hip-hop, improvisation and songcraft, trumpet and microphone. With Betta Days, the Grammy-winning trumpeter, composer, and MC sharpens his genre-bending vision into one of his most dynamic statements yet.The album plays like a conversation between worlds: lush horn arrangements sit beside hard-hitting beats, verses weave seamlessly through melodies, and Brown's trumpet leads with equal parts fire and finesse.

A student of jazz tradition who came up in Chicago's storied scene, he's since expanded his reach into hip-hop and soul, collaborating with icons such as Aretha Franklin, Santigold, Talib Kweli, and Anderson.Paak. Betta Days captures the spirit of all those influences while standing firmly in Mobetta's lane. At it's core, Betta Days is about resilience and growth-finding light even in heavy times. The songs carry a message of pushing forward, fueled by the energy of community and the joy of creation. Whether he's delivering sharp verses or soaring trumpet lines, Maurice Mobetta Brown reminds listeners that the future is wide open, and that better (or Betta) days are always ahead. Single LP, pressed on pink vinyl with green splatter.
