One of the most exciting acts to come out of 2020, Bad Boy Chiller Crew AKA BBCC share a new track, ‘Needed You’. A fresh take on UK garage, this banger nods to the groups love of old school club and dance music. After a chance meeting on a holiday night out with director, Matthew Shearer, the boys set off to shoot the video the next day in true BBCC style. Watch the nostalgic visual featuring sun, sea and scooters here.
‘Needed You’ is the first release from the band since their signing with Relentless Records in partnership with House Anxiety and comes out the same week the label put out Artful Dodger’s party anthem, ‘Re-Rewind’ featuring Craig David twenty one years ago – the perfect way to mark the 21st anniversary of one of the most influential labels in UK music.
BBCC are MCs Kane, GK, Clive, and often joined by close comrade S Dog. Deeply influenced by the ‘bassline house’ clubbing heritage they grew up around in the North of England as well as emergent UK and US rap. The boys’ have created a new sound of their own, lacing pacey 4×4 bass-quakes with a frantic lyrical fire that veers from infectious hooks to wry observational punchlines. Think The Streets meet T2’s ‘Heartbroken’. Embracing the term ‘charva’ as a way-of-life, together they channel the nuances and absurdities of northern street life into hugely addictive tunes.
