Joey Valence & Brae

Since exploding onto the scene, alt/hip-hop duo Joey Valence & Brae have become a must-see live act, fusing 90s hip-hop energy with modern chaos. Their self-made new album 'HYPERYOUTH' (RCA Records) is a wild mix of booming beats, sample-heavy anthems and tongue-in-cheek swagger, featuring JPEGMAFIA, Rebecca Black and TiaCorine. Fresh off a sold-out world tour and viral hits like “Punk Tactics” (RIAA Gold), JVB keep pushing boundaries, loud, fearless and relentlessly fun.

WHATMORE is a five-piece collective from New York redefining the space between hip-hop, alternative R&B and indie rock. Formed at LaGuardia High School, the group’s creative bond was forged through countless DIY shows across Brooklyn and downtown NYC. Their self-titled debut album captures the group’s dynamic chemistry and forward-thinking sound, pairing evocative visuals with deeply felt songwriting. After a breakout year filled with sold-out shows in New York and Los Angeles, viral introduction videos and co-signs from tastemakers like Zane Lowe, WHATMORE is quickly establishing itself as one of the most compelling new acts to emerge from the city.
