Bennie Amey III, known professionally as Blanco Brown (born March 24, 1985) is an American singer, songwriter, and music producer. Brown has written and produced for several R&B and Pop artists such as Pitbull, Chris Brown, Fergie and Monica, but it's his own work in the Country Rap genre that led to notoriety. His single "The Git Up", a self-described "TrailerTrap" track was a top 20 hit in America and reached number one on the Country Songs chart, boosted by the Git Up Challenge on TikTok.
Brown had a surprise second hit when in March 2021 he ascended to the top of the country music charts as a featured artist on Parmalee's "Just the Way". During the song's chart run, Brown was hospitalized after breaking both arms and legs in a motorcycle accident. He was able to recover and eventually return back to making music.

Tropes present in his work:
- Country Rap: His main genre.
- Genre Roulette: "Just the Way" starts out with a trap beat before segueing into a standard country-pop sound. He himself has produced music for several artists in different genres.
- Just the Way You Are: The main message of "Just the Way" is accepting his woman for who she is.
- Sexy Flaw: His and Parmalee's song Just the Way is about a guy encouraging his girl not to worry about her flaws because those are some of the things that attract him to her. The chorus is in part:I love you just the way God made youGirl, He don't make mistakesWhat you call your imperfectionsI call beautiful, babe
