Bad Boy Chiller Crew, often abbreviated as BBCC, is a British bassline and garage collective from Bradford in West Yorkshire. The collective began by uploading comedy and prank videos online before making music influenced by the UK bassline scene which rose to prominence, particularly, in the Yorkshire region during the 2000s;[1] a genre which became notorious for its relation to violence causing police to infamously shut down venues such as Niche Nightclub in Sheffield. However, as the collective started as a comedy group and their rap style utilized a gentler 'flow' compared to other UK rap genres such as grime or drill, this led them to be compared to the fictitious garage collective and radio station Kurupt FM, from the BBC mockumentary series People Just Do Nothing.[2]
The group consists of three members, Gareth Kelly, Kane Welsh and Sam Robinson - the former and latter known as GK and Clive, respectively.[3] In early 2020, the group were signed by the London-based record label House Anxiety and have been managed by Darren Booth (commonly known as Dr. Google). More recently, it has been confirmed that Mr Booth had negotiated a lucrative major recording contract with Relentless.[4]
The group released their debut album Full Wack No Brakes on 25 September 2020.[5]
