justbrandon is the musical project of Southern Indiana–raised artist, singer-songwriter, and creative director Brandon Gabriel Jones. His latest single, “Bury Me On A Backroad,” features critically acclaimed artist and Beyoncé collaborator Willie Jones, resulting in a powerful collaboration that blends vulnerability with undeniable swagger.
With “Bury Me On A Backroad,” justbrandon writes and produces a track centered on confronting loss head-on. The song is anchored by an emotional, stadium-worthy chorus designed to ease the weight of grief rather than dwell in it. Lyrics like, “I might never come back home / So if I die draped in all of my gold / Bury me at the backroad / ’Cause I don’t want nobody crying at my grave / I don’t want my family to go through that pain,” clearly establish the song’s reflective yet resolute narrative.
Sonically, “Bury Me On A Backroad” is a riveting country-rap banger filled with hard-hitting rhythms and a country-laden hook. The production seamlessly fuses hip-hop percussion with electric and acoustic guitar riffs, creating a bass-heavy backdrop that feels both modern and rooted.
To accompany the release, SUNO sponsored a remix contest for “Bury Me On A Backroad" which generated 4,000 submissions and the five winners are on a new EP.
Ultimately, “Bury Me On A Backroad” stands as a testament to justbrandon’s ability to merge genre, emotion, and ambition into a single, compelling statement. It’s a song built for both personal reflection and large-scale singalongs, proving that country and hip-hop continue to thrive together when authenticity leads the way.
