@Peace Headline Young Gifted And Broke Label Showcase And Release Collector’s Edition Album
YOUNG GIFTED & BROKE brings forth the next wave of artists behind Home Brew at a showcase on Friday 14 September at the Studio in Auckland, featuring @PEACE, TEAM DYNAMITE, and THE SIDESTEP QUINTET withsupport from DJ SUBSTANCE, JOEL PAYDIRT and LEGAL MONEY MIKE. September 14 also marks the release date for the collector’s edition of @PEACE’s critically acclaimed eponymous album.
From the loins of Home Brew comes the YOUNG, GIFTED & BROKE movement. Unlike your favorite rapper's boutique label, YG actually has a talented roster of artists including Home Brew, @peace, and Team Dynamite. YG's mission statement is to champion underground artists, and what better way to showcase their talents - than a showcase.
Featuring Tom Scott (Home Brew) & Lui Tuiasau on vocals, @PEACE won over the bloggers with their debut album which featured a musical soundscape laid down by Christoph El Truento (Wonderful Noise), Hayden 'Dandruff' Dicky & Brandon Haru. Along with them performing on the night, the collector’s edition of the album will be available for the first time at the show.
With 100% production from Home Brew's Haz Beats, TEAM DYNAMITE set themselves apart with their debut album The Demo Tape, seeing Lucky Lance & Tony Teez passing verses back & forth like Walter Little & Frank Bunce. Fresh off a national tour and with a new EP Faith Music ready to drop, TEAM DYNAMITE are quickly gaining a reputation for their high energy live show.
THE SIDESTEP QUINTET’s Si-Res & Dandruff Dicky produced some of the bangers on the Home Brew album including ‘Yellow Snot Funk’, ‘Datura’, ‘Alcoholic’ & ‘Everybody’. Expect no less from them as they let loose on their own project on September 14th.
The showcase will also feature performances from YG label manager DJ Substance, with support from Joel Paydirt & Legal Money Mike.
