BR and TIMEBOMB
BR and TIMEBOMB combine R&B, jazz, rock and classical influences to make original live hip-hop music. Over the past five years, they have performed at venues including Studio 54, The Apollo Theater, Crash Mansion, Union Square Park and Webster Hall. “In our professional lives, we try to change the status quo through sharing what we’ve learned in music and project a positivity and family spirit that we feel is too often lacking in today’s hip-hop music. Our subject matter is often different from currently popular hip-hop artists: support for our families and communities, critical thinking and love for fellow human beings.” They have just released their new album, “Believe in Something (Greater Than Yourself).”
CONCERNING CHANGE
While the word “change” can be a rallying cry, it can also be left too vague and open-ended, in our opinion. We believe once you decide to change something, the next questions should be “how, why, what and, most importantly, when?” In our professional lives, we try to change thestatus quo through sharing what we’ve learned in music, art and physical fitness with children and adults of all ages. In our musical performances and recordings, we try to project a positively and family spirit that we feel is too often lacking in today’s hip-hop music. Our subject matter is often different from that of the currently popular hip-hop artists: support for our families and communities, critical thinking, love for fellow human beings, etc.
