Miles Brown Drops Debut Album ‘We the Future’ feat. Slick Rick, Tevin Campbell + More | New Visual ‘Entourage’
One of our favorite young talents Miles Brown has dropped his debut album “We the Future.”
Rooted in his desire to champion positivity, family ties, strong mental health, equality, and the fight against racial injustice, via ACME Music Co.
Penned as a dedication to his friends, he released the visual for “Entourage,” which finds Miles calling out his crew for being down for him over a down-tempo trap beat crafted by Madlib and originally meant for Travis Scott.
It calls out to the next generation of leaders to recognize and own their strength and budding authority. Produced by Madlib, Mic Checkmate and Deliv, the album features artists including Slick Rick, Jidenna, MAJOR., Affion Crockett, Siedah Garrett and NBA’s Dame D.O.L.L.A (Damian Lillard) among others.

Dedicated to using his platform to make a difference, the song “Give Back” encourages others to help build up their communities and uphold our ancestors’ legacy. On “Dreambiginspiremany,” featuring Jidenna, Miles asserts that we inspire others to do the same when we pursue our dreams. “Toy Gun,” on which legendary songwriter Seidah Garrett solely appears, is a song about Tamir Rice, who was killed by Ohio police while carrying a replica toy gun, and “Get Up,” which features Miles‘s dad Wildchild, is about harnessing inner strength and refusing to feel defeated. The album also features guest artists including Slick Rick and Tevin Campbell, who collaborated with Miles on the fun and upbeat track “Kid,” and shout outs from artists including Redman, Method Man, Big Daddy Kane, Rakim, Flava Flav, Post Malone, and Macklemore, who show love on the track “Feeling Inspired.”
This is the first album for Miles, who currently stars as the lovable Jack Johnson in ABC’s Emmy-nominated comedy series Black-ish. Named one of the top 30 stars under age 18 by The Hollywood Reporter, Miles has gained NAACP Image and BET Award nominations, received a Young Artist Award, and became the first junior NBA correspondent tasked with interviewing ballplayers from a kid’s perspective. In 2019, he starred in his first feature film, the independent comedy Boy Genius. Most recently, he has been using his platform to amplify the need for change and show support for the BLM Movement.
