Young Fathers DEAD

From the UK via Liberia, Nigeria and Scotland, Young Fathers have pursued a unique trajectory, from mid-teen hip hop trio via psych-pop rap to where they are now. The Edinburgh based trio will put out a new album off the back of their mixtape EPs, 'TAPE ONE' and 'TAPE TWO', entitled 'Dead'.

Against a backdrop of creative resurgence in indie rap, Young Fathers make the sort of uncompromisingly leftfield, forward thinking hip-hop that has nothing to do with artiness and everything to do with brilliance. All with grain silo production and genuine pop hooks. The trio's status continues to rise, with early adopters including David Byrne, Diplo, Ghostpoet, Alt-J and UK publication The Sunday Times, recently hailing them as "A bold new force".
