BIOGRAPHY

the story

Yah Supreme & Brohemian is an atmospheric hip-hop quartet featuring Brooklyn master of ceremonies Yah Supreme. It's a 21st century mash-up of Gil Scott Heron, Marvin Gaye and Guru fused together over funky rhythms. Their simple, yet cinematic songs have attracted an enthusiastic audience to date. Yah Supreme (lead vocals/production) and Tommaso Cappellato (drums/production) formed the project in Brooklyn back in 2004 and independently released their debut album Post Modern Garden in 2006. Andrea Lombardini (bass) and Kelvin Sholar (keyboards) round out the quartet and Brohemian are currently touring in Europe to promote the project. Prior to forming Brohemian, Yah Supreme has released 5 12-inch singles on vinyl, an EP and a compilation album on compact disc through the labels Son Doo Recordings and Underground Academy. Yah Supreme & Brohemian are fun and free, yet grown and sexy. Their sound is a unique meshing of bouncy grooves with driving melodies around social experiences, improvisation and stand-up comedy. Brohemian is an international, multi-ethnic movement that reflects "21st century togetherness." Each of the band members boast high-profile collaborations and diverse musical backgrounds. They layer their many influences over a backdrop of hip-hop style, then expand the form.After 6 years of laying down a foundation of independent yet empathetic thinking through their music, Yah Supreme & Brohemian's sophomore CD Naked City is now in production for a 2011 release.

PRESS

they say

"Finally the debut album of Yah Supreme, the Brooklyn rapper known for a series of singles on his old label, Son Doo...With 'Post Modern Garden,' Yah Supreme delivers us an album of rare quality. It stands at the crossroads of rap, soul, slam and true poetry. We find him in 2006 with his band Brohemian, produced by Tommaso 'Fallou' Cappellato... The musical voyage with Yah Supreme can now begin! Release yourself, forget your worries and concentrate on Post Modern Garden and its sonic destinations like 'B.K. Bon Vivant,' 'Things She Wants To Do To Me' or 'Winter in Brooklyn.' Ride with Yah Supreme--each song is like a musical stopover on a smooth journey to Brooklyn." -DJ Akan"Self-described as 'atmospheric hip hop,' the waters through which these songs tread run much deeper than that. Respecting the music as an art form, the live band featured on this intricately woven collection is graceful but not timid, easily coaxing elemental funk out of the jazzy pallet that they work from. The percussion (along with the vocals) is rhythmically loose but precise, adding a musician's feel that is rarely seen in the current hip hop landscape. Yah's MC skills are equally on point, painting a vivid picture of Brooklyn past and present by taking the listener on a first hand verbal tour of the fabled neighborhood, recalling stories that merit a retelling. This narrative style is bold but becoming, a thematic vehicle that keeps the songs pushing forward with swelling intensity and intelligence." -cdbaby"Yah's circuitous cadence matches the music's hypnoticism, casually dispensing introspective thoughts." -VIBE"Yah rhymes with a distinct poetic delivery and offers reflections on real life topics that a listener can take heed to." -PLATFORM.NET"...outstanding. A mix of dope production and deep rhymes." - URB"Rap reporters are screamin' 'bout the Yah Supreme joint..." -HITS"If this is any indication of the upcoming [LP], we can't wait!" -IMPACT
