DOCTRINE
Babylon Dead isn't just a crew. It's a statement — a straight fuck you to all the evil and injustices we face.
Babylon Dead, made up of rapper Jman and producer Illinformed, are a UK based duo blending Hip Hop and Reggae's sounds and ethics with a militant mindset — empowering those who seek music with knowledge and wisdom whilst still making your head nod in a unique way.
With heritage from Jamaica and England, they take elements from both backgrounds to create something truly special. Heavy basslines, eerie samples and conscious lyrics tackling social and political issues from the gritty realities of life. With a dedicated cult following, Babylon Dead has become a key figure in the underground scene, creating a sound that resonates with fans worldwide.
Comprised of two of the most respected artists to emerge from the UK Hip Hop circuit over the past decade, their already impressive individual bodies of work prove that Babylon Dead will only be bringing Grade A dope to the mix.
Jman has spent the past few years earning a reputation for being able to destroy any riddim that gets thrown his way. From Grime and Hip Hop, to DnB and Ragga — dexterous is an understatement.
He has worked with some of the biggest names in Hip Hop, Drum & Bass and Reggae, a claim that not many UK artists can make. A staple part of the festival circuit too, Jman is an essential ingredient for making the rave pop off.
INFORMED
Arguably one of the best producers working in the UK right now, Illinformed's status as a purveyor of the finest head-nod beats is in no doubt. Through collaborative projects and his own releases — including the critically acclaimed The Mould Tape — he has become the go-to guy for quality assured production.
Ridiculously prolific, with a string of solid beat tapes in his back catalogue.
Together as Babylon Dead, the duo have set themselves up as the figureheads for a new musical movement — one that is very necessary as anger towards the establishment boils up worldwide.
