Previously a giant size picture of Brian's face was spotted in Times Square in New York City as part of a promotion for his new album, Amen.
The singer's name started to gain global attention following the launch of his music video, “Dat Stick”, which went viral online. His song titled "Who That Be" also attracted many, in which he still used "Rich Chigga" as his stage name.
After joining label 88+, Brian started to spread his wings in the US music industry and moved to the country last year.
His first album, Amen, was launched on Feb. 2. Featuring 14 songs, it was included on the iTunes chart for hip hop music. (kes)
