Description
Young Fathers, the Edinburgh based trio of Liberian, Nigerian and Scottish heritage, make the kind of uncompromisingly leftfield, forward thinking hip hop that has nothing to do with artiness and everything to do with brilliance. Exactly the sort of music that Big Dada was founded to release.
Following on from the widely acclaimed EPs TAPE ONE and TAPE TWO (Anticon), Big Dada / Anticon release Young Fathers debut album DEAD.
Early adopters have included Zane Lowe, DJ Semtex, David Byrne, Diplo and Ghostpoet.
They are different man, different to everyone else, and thats why its a very very good look to have them on Xtra Talent these guys are crazy DJ Semtex on 1Xtra
They blew me away so much they are the first band Im ever going to play two things from on the same show, Im going to start and end with these guys Scroobius Pip on XFM
Theyre a self-contained unit who make their own posters and direct their own videos if you didnt know they were Scottish youd presume they were some art-rap outfit from LA The Guardian
Young Fathers dwell on the dark charm of everyday realities prescription drugs, girls in clubs and, yes, porridge as part of languid, mesmerising flows their different backgrounds have contributed to something swirling and rootless a style unique enough that Young Fathers can truly claim to its daddies Time Out
