Joey Valence & Brae - Hyperyouth

On 20 May 2026 at the Docks in Hamburg, Joey Valence & Brae bring their raw, '90s‑trained rap sound to the stage. The Pennsylvania duo met at university and started out with self-produced tracks that blend humor, pop references and precise timing. The viral track "Punk Tactics" (2021) gave them their breakthrough, followed by "The Underground Sound" (2022), which staked out their territory. In 2023 the album "Punk Tactics" compiled their most distinctive pieces and demonstrated how confidently they play with old‑school codes and alternative rap.

Their DIY ethos runs through everything: beats, visuals and performance are created within their own cosmos, sustained by a tangible sense of camaraderie. Live, the duo works with a call‑and‑response dynamic, dense flows and breakbeat energy that translates their references to hip‑hop’s golden era into the present. Since they began releasing new songs regularly, they have been sharpening their sound further — direct, rhythmic and without frills. Hamburg will get a concentrated overview of their universe at the Docks on 20 May 2026.
