The Bad Boy Chiller Crew (BBCC) is one of the hottest breakout artists and talented pop contenders the UK has seen in recent years. Their Disrespectful album dropped in February 2022 and climbed to the No. 2 position on the Official Charts, beating out Adele and falling just short of the top spot behind Ed Sheeran. The MC baseline trio -- made up of GK (Gareth Kelly), Kane (Kane Welsh) and Clive (Sam Robinson) -- have experienced a meteoric rise to viral fame at a time when COVID-19 lockdowns set back even the most established artists. Initially, the Bad Boy Chiller Crew were known for their outrageously funny online videos, oversized personalities and penchant for general tomfoolery. They went from jokingly posting a few songs on SoundCloud and filming low-budget music videos in 2018-2019 to dropping their first mixtape, Full Wack No Brakes, in 2020. The mixtape's debut single, "450," amassed more than 14 million views on YouTube, taking the BBCC from Bradford out of West Yorkshire's underground scene and hurling them into the mainstream spotlight.

They've since starred in a Vice documentary that's been viewed more than 20 million times, booked slots at festivals at home and abroad, and received offers to play live in shows as far as China. In 2022, they announced they'll be taking their beats across the pond on the Bad Boy Chiller Crew U.S. tour. When you see the Bad Boy Chiller Crew in concert, expect to laugh as hard as you dance because they spare no expense for humor in their display of slapstick goofiness that edges the line of performance art. As Rolling Stone describes, the wild and audacious BBCC outfit is "devoted to the ever-righteous pursuit of having a good time," so it's definitely a show you won't want to miss.

Bad Boy Chiller Crew Live in Concert

The first Bad Boy Chiller Crew mixtape was a collection of feel-good bangers that reintroduced the largely forgotten sub-genre of baseline music: a niche off-shoot of UK garage with harder, faster and peppier beats that make you want to bop and bounce. When big-club baseline music took off in the mid-2000s, it typically featured billowing pop/R&B vocals, but Full Wack No Brakes shows how Bad Boy Chiller Crew can deliver hard-hitting rap bars over their unrelenting, uptempo beats. The 2022 album Disrespectful picks up on more soulful house samples and features fewer coarse lyrics as the trio sets their sites on commercial success but remains packed with slick hooks over club-ready throwbacks guaranteed to get listeners pumped up. The listening experience is reminiscent of some of your rowdiest friends rapping over tracks at a college party.
