Growing up as one of 13 children isn’t an experience with which most of us are familiar; those of us who were brought up alongside just one or two siblings (or none) could be forgiven for assuming that such a living situation would be nothing but constant Cheaper by the Dozen-style bedlam without the heartwarming ending. Each of the five brothers that make up R&B group Brutha do know what it’s like to live as one of a baker’s dozen, and, against all odds, they’ve found a way to work together that’s positively harmonious.
Anthony, Jared, Jacob, Papa, and Grady Harrell, who recently rocked the Booth with their Fabolous-featuring lead single, “I Can’t Hear the Music,” are hoping that their self-titled debut (set to drop December 23rd) will move enough copies to buy them a dining room table that will seat every single member of their sizable family. In the meantime, fans can look forward to the November 13th premiere of the group’s BET reality series, Brothers to Brutha.
