Chie & King Bracket
Plenty of heads in Kent are well aware that the unsung region has a heavy hip hop underbelly with UK Boom Bap sounds infiltrating spaces from stoner sessions to illegal raves. The rest of the country might still be playing catch up, but the sounds from the coast are steadily creeping inland. Day one Brain Scran family, Chie and King Bracket, represent the cream of the grubby crop.
Born with a larynx that sounded like he’d smoked B&H everyday in the uterus, Chie has been scrawling explicit, funky bars since he could hold a Crayola and spraying words on buildings from the point he could misspell words. Between leading the filth on a merry chase across the UK, smashing up festival stages and getting regularly off his bonce, he has also been penning verses that will make your ears cum.
The kingpin/Mac Daddy of hip hop production in Kent. Bracket draws on people for a living, makes beats sicker than your dead great grandmother and dreams of one day owning a bazooka. A veteran of beat-making from dub to DnB, Bracket has been fine tuning his own brand of Boom Bap for years now.
The two of them have been in the lab sweating over heaters for the last year which have amounted to their debut LP Steezy Wonderz. It’s so much fire it could make Koalas extinct.
