Straight outta Brooklyn, Bhanu 22 is more than just another artist on the rise he’s a movement driven by aura, ambition, and an unapologetically turnt mindset. Born Devaron Albright II, Bhanu 22 lives in the moment while building a legacy for the future. His sound? It’s lit, energetic, motivational, and designed to pull listeners into his world of unfiltered passion and perseverance.
Influenced by the lack of authenticity in the current music scene, Bhanu 22 flips the script and delivers vibes rooted in realness. Pretty women and the next generation might catch his eye, but it’s growth that fuels his grind. Whether he’s in the lab or vibing in Brooklyn’s streets, Bhanu doesn’t force the art he lets it evolve. “It starts with an idea,” he says, “and I build on it every day until the vision appears in real life.”
His latest drop, Lit 4 Life hosted by the legendary DJ Holiday is a full-circle moment. “I grew up watching who DJ Holiday would co-sign next,” Bhanu shares. “To have that cosign myself? Legendary.” The tape is a curated surge of energy, blending his raw hunger with Holiday’s classic hosting finesse.
And when it comes to collabs, Bhanu 22 and Chicken P brought absolute fire. “That was one of the funnest sessions ever it felt like working with myself,” he laughs. That synergy, that vibe, that drive it’s what makes Bhanu stand out.
At just 15, Bhanu had a feature with YNW Melly. Witnessing Melly’s work ethic lit a fire under him that’s never dimmed. Today, he stays inspired by the pressure “I got comfortable being uncomfortable,” he says, a mindset that keeps him grinding toward his biggest goal: earning a Diamond plaque.
Bhanu 22 blends personal life with music seamlessly. Fans aren’t just listeners; they’re part of his extended family. “People tell me they depend on me even ones I don’t see so I stay loyal, stay consistent, and give it my all,” he reflects.
