Young Fathers - Dead

Review by Sam Moore

If you’re looking for a thoroughly twenty-first-century record that’ll challenge your preconceptions and bombard the senses, then Dead is something that’s definitely worth your while.»

Big Dada are incredibly proud to partner with the Anticon label to release the Young Fathers album in Europe. The Edinburgh based trio consist of Liberian, Nigerian and Scottish heritage and make exactly the sort of music the label was founded to release. Against a backdrop of creative resurgence in 'indie' rap, Young Fathers make the sort of uncompromisingly leftfield, forward thinking hip-hop that has nothing to do with artiness and everything to do with brilliance, all with grain silo production and genuine pop hooks. Early adopters have included David Byrne, Diplo, Ghostpoet and Alt J.
