Joey Valence & Brae

On 12 May 2026 at the Roundhouse in London, Joey Valence & Brae bring their hi-octane blend of hip-hop built on boom-bap drums, razor-cut samples and deadpan humor. The Pennsylvania duo met at college and started dropping self-produced tracks that flip the spirit of 90s rap with a playful, geek-friendly twist. Their breakout came in 2021 with Punk Tactics, a viral cut that set the tone: quickfire bars, cartoonish references and hooks designed for crowd call-and-response.

Since then, they’ve sketched a clear route: The Underground Sound in 2022 laid the groundwork, and the 2023 project Punk Tactics gathered their standout singles into a compact snapshot of their world. Everything is kept in-house, from production to visuals, giving their sound and image a tight, DIY consistency that carries onto the stage. Expect dynamic interplay between the two MCs, beats that snap and stop on a dime, and a setlist that swings from cheeky nostalgia to mosh-friendly bounce. A concise, high-energy show built for rap heads who like their old-school codes wired to present-day velocity.
