About Me


"Brotherman has a timeless, effortless flow which shows originality and artistic aptitude" THTC Clothing..
“Reminds me of the reason why I got into hip hop in the first place” Blade.
"With a well-balanced mix of infectious hooks and heart-felt verses, not to mention a good ear for beats, Brotherman is destined for big things!" Jehst..
Heart of dem "A refreshing slice of heavyweight homegrown hip hop with an infectious hook, crisp production and next level conscious vocals from one of my favourite new mcs on the block. This ones the new generation and staying in my box for a while....Brotherman...Blaoooowww!!!" Daddy Skitz (BBC 1Xtra)
“Listening to this is a few minutes of your existence cunningly spent…Expect plenty of rewinding and much anticipation for more from this talented Londoner” – **** Echoes
“Brilliantly conscious and incisive” - **** DJ Mag
“Should lead to over-ground success for this young rapper” - Knowledge
A young musician whose up-bringing was split between the caribbean and london's borough of Hackney, drawing inspiration from both in his chosen genre of Uk Hip-Hop. Brotherman is the son of an artist and self taught classical guitarist and a now rastafarian accountant. Well travelled in his youth he spent his time watching the social comings and goings of the people who surrounded him as well as taking in the music and culture he was exposed to. Adding to this a clear voice, musical ability, ambition and a thorough understanding of the world in which he lives, Brotherman is definitely one to look out for.
