BROCKHAMPTON is a rap group that is not afraid to test the limits and cause controversy. Packed with great lines, impactful lyrics and controversial topics- their music says so much more than just a simple track. They switch it up from hard rap to light R&B ballads on their tracks which keeps the listeners on their toes.
They actually prefer the term “American boy band” rather than “rap group” which puts a funny spin on their image. They are collectively a compelling group that works with multiple graphics and visuals for their music videos to show their zany and childish spirit. They also dive into topics such as sexuality, which is typically taboo in the rap community. Not only are they talented, they are a voice for the voiceless, talking about the struggle of being a gay man.
They are basically Odd Future but better
They released their first mixtape All-American Trash in March 2016. Their full-length album Saturation arrived a year later in 2017. They didn’t wait long to release the sequel Saturation II in the summer of that year.
Their biggest success was the release of their album, Saturation III– the last installment of the series and it was their highest charting album to date. It peaked at 15 on the Billboard 100 and at the top five on the R&B/Hip-Hop chart.
