49/5 — QQ Bratt

Out Now

49/5

He survived it at five. He finally faced it at forty-nine.

49/5 is dedicated to Baby Love — the one who held on when holding on made no sense, and saw the man I couldn't see in myself.

The follow-up to Playing Man goes all the way back to the root. A healing journey told without pretence — the abuse at five, the silence that followed, the wall it built, the damage caused, the men's group that cracked it open, and finally, a man coming home to himself for the first time at forty-nine.

Nine tracks. Swamp blues, trap and house running through a country foundation. Every word real.

Playing Man — QQ Bratt

Playing Man

Broken but not beyond repair.

The debut album. Seven tracks tracing one man's life arc — from a boy watching his father drink, to becoming his father, to losing his children, to the woman who finally held up the mirror. Raw, dark country rock meets deep house bass. A confession album that does not ask for forgiveness.

  3. 03 His Father's Son The Origin
  4. 04 The Road Runs Out The Anger

I write every word. The voice is mine, cloned from my own recordings. The production is built with AI tools. The story is mine. The healing is mine. The tools I use to get it out of me don't change any of that.
