Iron Braydz (@braydz) ‘Verbal sWARdz’

Raised in Har­les­den north west Lon­don, Iron Bray­dz has long been con­sidered one of the UK’s most skilled hip hop MC’s with a deliv­ery & flow that demon­strates a super­i­or level of word­play and lyr­i­cism

Draw­ing on his influ­ences of Wu Tang, Immor­tal Tech­nique, dead prez, Pub­lic Enemy & Nas, many of whom he has sub­sequently per­formed with either in the stu­dio or on stage, he has also estab­lished a foothold in the inter­na­tion­al arena. Wheth­er as part of DJ Ron­in’s All Ele­ments clik, receiv­ing endorse­ments from legends such as DJ Mar­ley Marl, or work­ing with Sav Killz, Has­an Salaam, M1,Guilty Simpson and Sean Price, Bray­dz has earned his repu­ta­tion as one of the most gif­ted lyr­i­cists to emerge from Brit­ish shores.

His impact with­in the Brit­ish & European inde­pend­ent hip hop com­munity has grown from largely self pro­duced releases Dev­il May Cry (2010) and Holla @ Bray­dz (2012), though then, just as now, he also brought dif­fer­ent fla­vours into the mix cour­tesy of pro­du­cers such as Lewis Park­er, Chemo and a range of new beat­s­miths “on the up”.

Recently he has become a recog­nized face on the live cir­cuit, wheth­er per­form­ing or as event Host,  and joined up with old spar­ring part­ners Melan­in 9, Cyr­us Mala­chi and Phoenix da Ice­fire to become the latest mem­ber of Triple Dark­ness. He also fea­tured with Mys­tro and Gen­es­is Eli­jah in Ohio rap­per Copy­write’s video “Roy­al Flush” and is set to make a cameo appear­ance in the upcom­ing inde­pend­ent film “Night Bus”.  Dir­ect­or Simon Baker, who picked up sev­er­al awards at Cannes for his Para­lympic series and also pro­duced the doc­u­ment­ary “All­stars”, sug­ges­ted the role hav­ing heard the track “Grey Skies” taken from the Holla @ Bray­dz Mix­tape.

The new 10 track EP “Verbal sWARdz” has been a while in the mak­ing but is planned as the first of a series of releases tak­ing place over the next year. Again largely self pro­duced with fur­ther con­tri­bu­tions from Ringz of Sat­urn, Agor and Daniel Taylor, Bray­dz’ rhyme skills through­out are of the highest caliber. Meta­phors, word­play, verbal dex­ter­ity, they’re all there in abund­ance ably assisted on occa­sion by fea­tures from Prince Po (Organ­ised Kon­fu­sion), Kyza, Skrib­lah, Sean Price (Boot Camp Clik), Detroit rap vet­er­an Phat Kat and Triple Dark­ness’ Ray Ven­detta, Cyr­us Mala­chi and Sol­ar Black (aka Phoenix da Ice­fire). Worthy of note also is the spe­cial appear­ance from Kiss FM’s DJ Shortee Blitz

An artist equally at home in Brent or Brook­lyn, the EP rep­res­ents a snap­shot of Iron Bray­dz now and of things to come while hav­ing his exten­ded inter­na­tion­al fam­ily rub shoulders over 10 prime cuts rep­res­ent­ing the best ele­ments of hip hop music.
