Joey Valence & Brae - Hyperyouth

Joey Valence & Brae bring their mix of old-school rap energy and pop-culture references to Berlin: on May 26, 2026 they will play at Neue Welt. The Pennsylvania duo met at university and have worked in a DIY mode from the start — productions, visuals and performances develop in tandem. In 2021, "Punk Tactics" became their viral breakthrough, followed by singles, the project "The Underground Sound" and the 2023 album "Punk Tactics," which compiled their most distinctive tracks.

On stage, straightforward boom‑bap meets rapid rhyme patterns, witty punchlines and call‑and‑response moments. The beats are punchy, sample‑heavy and clearly influenced by the ’90s, without relying solely on retro. A direct, physical show emerges from the balance of precise rhythmic feel and spontaneous audience interaction, making the spirit of their tracks tangible. Anyone seeking rap that sits between old‑school DNA, an alternative approach and a touch of geek culture will encounter a concentrated live set in Berlin’s Neue Welt.
