Bristol’s underground rap scene converges for a night of experimental beats, off-kilter flows and immersive visuals, all in support of a vital cause.
OGB - comprising of 32Burden, Guerrilla Kerby and STEREO, are joined by frequent collaborators Leo Sierra, KipC and Young Theodore - bringing their distinctive styles to Club 395 for an electrifying live performance.
Producer ST3R3O will be performing, layering and integrating samples in real-time, displaying his multifaceted and unique refined production style, which defines the foundations of OGBs sound
Guerrilla Kerby, a South East native now based in Bristol, delivers introspective lyrics over dusty folk and soul cuts crafted by producer ST3R3O, reminiscent of his rural roots. His projects, including “New Eclipse… Melodrama” and the forthcoming “Harvest Moon," delve into themes of family, growing pains and nostalgia.
32Burden, a 19-year-old artist, blends abstract hip-hop and reggae, amassing 150,000+ streams and performing at events like the Godiva Festival. His acclaimed 2024 debut: “Sorry I Ain’t Seen You,” solidified him as a genre-defying force, with raw lyrics and exhilarating performances.
“Everything Is Perfect Records” artist Leo Sierra, born and raised in Cardiff, is a rapper and producer whose musical styling draws influence from practically all schools of hip hop. Leo seamlessly weaves both surreal-sometimes comedic- imagery, and honest self reflection into his verses, presenting his thoughts via off the wall deliveries and dense rhyme schemes. Bristol producer, 4103, is set to join him on the 1s and 2s for an unpredictable, genre bending set.
Supporting the group is Tii - a local legend in Bristol who just headlined his sold out show at the Exchange, performing alongside Anto - your favourite rapper from Yorkshire with a unique charm and expressive delivery.
Pardosa UK are also coming with their unique lighting setup, transforming the venue with vintage VHS visuals and dynamic graphic art, creating an immersive atmosphere for you to get lost within the sound.
Curated by independent Bristol brands SERIES and BLOOM, this event offers £1 tickets, with all proceeds going to Projects in Palestine, providing farming, education and humanitarian aid for victims of war in the Middle East.
We hope you all enjoy this one-of-a-kind experience; a statement in the UK underground rap scene!
