Bushrod + Yung Yusuf - Independent Venue Week

Event information

BUSHROD + Yung Yusuf - London-based, Banbury-born headliner BUSHROD, cultivating a brand of infectious, humble music which bridges the gap between alternative hip-hop and rap, has found himself fast on the rise. Tackling an array of subjects including love and loss, mental health and the mundane everyday, BUSHROD has drummed up a loyal following with his DIY sensibility, razor-sharp humour and refreshingly relatable lyrics. The talented musician landed his big break with an appearance on SBTV’s legendary ‘Warm Up Sessions’, has since enjoyed two headline tours, plays from BBC 1Xtra, and glowing endorsements from Complex, Amazon Music, The Independent, and BBC Introducing. With a wealth of new material en route which continues to perfectly encapsulate the psyche of young Britain, listeners would be wise to get acquainted, and come down to the show for what is set to be an incredible night.

Performing on the bill is the impressive English-Palestinian rapper Yung Yusuf who hails from St Albans. His lyrics are marked by an exploration of fear, identity, and vulnerability, and his playful wordplay and unique energy keep listeners on their toes. His new album SOLARIS features heavy, measured beats and powerful lyrics, inspired by JPEGMAFIA, Death Grips, Denzel Curry, and Kanye West’s Yeezus. Yung Yusuf is also recognized for his engaging live performances, which feature interpretative dance and immersive elements that enhance the audience experience. We are super excited to host such an exciting local talent at The Pioneer.
