Authentic Bros

Welcome to the authentic face of British hip-hop! Welcome to the world of Authentic Bros! Consisting of multi-talented brothers, Babak, a Sound-Engineer (Vocals, Mixing, Beats, Production), and Reza, a Video-Producer (Vocals, Beats), the duo have been steadily forging their own unique brand of multidimensional, emotive urban soundscapes. Raised from a young age on a diverse palette of influences ranging from commercial big-beat rap, explosive indie hip-hop, UK grime, drum’n’bass, R’n’B, reggae, ragga, dubstep, reggaeton and traditional Arabic and Persian music, the duo searched extensively for a creative outlet to realise their ambitions of fusing these base elements into a new breed of music. Frustrated by the lack of diversity on the UK urban scene, they set about creating a new vision and a new sonic journey for the people of the world.
The duo’s form of art revolves around life and humanity, from spiritual to physical, love to hate, war to peace and home to streets, with versifying minds the duo emanate unconventional sounds and visuals elaborating authenticity to the highest of degrees. Authentic Bros started honing their rhyming skills in Birmingham’s battle-rap and MC’ing circuit, undertaking a number of live performances and performances on specialist and regional radio stations.
The sound of Authentic Bros is hard to pin down and difficult to pigeonhole. They deftly craft a propulsive fusion of intricately programmed beatscapes and futuristic twinkling melodies which utilise strong ethnic motifs. A keen interest in challenging music and a disdain for formulaic beat-crafting has led to the creation of multilayered soundscapes which refuse to follow norms, instead growing to epic and cinematic proportions and/or shifting direction with no notice. Vocally, the duo spit bars ranging from medium-tempo wordsmithery to high-octane doubletime wizardry, and these styles tend to be fused together with swift switching techniques and are occasionally interspersed with poignant R’n’B harmonies.
