Brisco (rapper)

Mitchell grew up in Miami, Florida. His mother died when he was 9, and four years later, at age 13, his brother was killed in a car accident; he then migrated to Opa-Locka, Florida. At age 14, the troubled teen's cousin introduced him to his best friend, E-Class, the founder of Poe Boy Entertainment.

Mitchell met Poe Boy Entertainment founder E-Class in 1997. E-Class encouraged him to express his life hardships through rap.

In 2006, Mitchell did guest performances on tracks from DJ Khaled's Listennn... the Album ("The Future of Dade") and Rick Ross's Port of Miami ("I'm a G", also with Lil Wayne). Lil Wayne signed Brisco to Cash Money Records in November that year. Brisco began recording an album for Poe Boy and Cash Money, Street Medicine, in 2007, which resulted in popular records such as "I'm Into Dat" and "Opa-locka". He also made his big debut with Cash Money on Lil' Wayne's mixtape Da Drought 3 on a song called New Cash Money.

Mitchell continued doing many guest appearances in 2007 and 2008, such as for albums We the Best by DJ Khaled ("I'm From Dade County"), Tha Carter III by Lil Wayne ("La La"), and Mail on Sunday by Flo Rida ("Money Right"). He also released his own singles, "In the Hood" (featuring Lil Wayne Produced by COONEY and KaneBeatz) and "Just Know Dat" (remix featuring Flo Rida and Lil Wayne Produced by COONEY and co-produced by CP HOLLYWOOD) and appeared in Billy Blue's "Get Like Me". In late 2008, Mitchell released a mixtape with DJ Bigga Rankin, From Dade to Duval, part of Rankin's Real Nigga Radio series.{{cite web|url=http://www.miaminewtimes.com/2008-11-20/music/bigga-rankin-presents-brisco|title=Bigga Rankin Presents Brisco|last=Cunningham|first=Jonathan|date=November 20, 2008|work=Miami New Times|access-date=June 23, 2009}} In the summer of 2009, Mitchell showed his diversity with a charismatic feature on the song entitled "Catch 22" which was written and performed for Miami's well known ghost writer Dray Skky.{{Cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQmYtz6j984|title=Official Music Video: "Catch 22" Skky Feat.

The lead single from the album is entitled "On the Wall" featuring Lil Wayne. Street Medicine had a planned release date of December 2010 but ultimately never released.{{cite web|url=http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/dxnext/id.97/title.brisco/p.all|title=Brisco|last=Fowlow|first=Tanya M.|date=January 29, 2009|work=HipHopDX|access-date=June 23, 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090314110726/http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/dxnext/id.97/title.brisco/p.all|archive-date=March 14, 2009|url-status=dead}}{{cite news|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1613711/20090610/lil_wayne.jhtml|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090614042329/http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1613711/20090610/lil_wayne.jhtml|url-status=dead|archive-date=June 14, 2009|title=Akon, Lil Wayne And Others Introduce Miami's New Class Of MCs|last=Reid|first=Shaheem|date=June 10, 2009|work=Mixtape Daily|access-date=June 23, 2009}}

Mitchell released a diss record aimed at rappers Gucci Mane, OJ Da Juiceman and Waka Flocka Flame called "Waka Blacka". This song surfaced shortly after Waka got shot on a Tuesday in Atlanta. He states that he only released this after Gucci Mane dissed him on his song "Heavy", referencing an incident. The entertainers have since put their differences behind them.{{Cite web |url=http://www.wordofsouth.com/2010/01/21/brisco-disses-waka-flocka-flame-clarifies-reason-behind-it/ |title=Brisco Disses Waka Flocka Flame; Clarifies Reason Behind It |access-date=January 23, 2010 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20100125155339/http://www.wordofsouth.com/2010/01/21/brisco-disses-waka-flocka-flame-clarifies-reason-behind-it/ |archive-date=January 25, 2010 |url-status=dead }}
