This track showcases his incredible talent as a rapper, with raw and meaningful lyrics, professional vocal delivery, and production that hits all the right notes.

“Misunderstood” is more than just a song, it’s a reflection of Brad’s inner world. He opens up in ways he hasn’t done before, inviting listeners into his thoughts and emotions. The lyrics reveal his struggles with mental health, personal growth, and the challenges of life. Lines like, “What to do when your mind is short of some chromosomes? How you learn to focus when you grew up in a broken home?” cut deep, highlighting the weight of his experiences.

As the lead single from his upcoming album Grime & Soul, Vol. 2, Brad sets the tone for what’s to come.

The instrumental complements his voice perfectly, creating a seamless blend that pulls you in. If this track is any indication, “Grime & Soul, Vol. 2” is shaping up to be an album worth waiting for. This is definitely one for the playlist and we can’t wait to hear more from Bradley Talks this year.
