Mr. B The Gentleman Rhymer
The Voodoo Rooms are delighted to welcome Mr. B The Gentleman Rhymer on Thursday 4th May!
About Mr. B The Gentleman Rhymer
Mr.B began his Chap-Hop career in the summer of 2007 when he decided to bring elements of his previous incarnations (UK rapper, jump-up breaks producer, banjolele maverick and dandy) together and create a genre.
‘A Piece Of My Mind’, his first ditty was released in Japan on Second Royal Records and its accompanying video and UK tour dates alerted the rest of the world to this new musical form.
Since then he has travelled the world, from Surrey to Osaka, Banstead to Berlin, Middlesborough to Minneapolis, Norway to New York and the Edinburgh Fringe to Glastonbury bringing his beats, rhymes and manners. As well as songs about cricket, pipe smoking, high society and interfering with livestock.
Mr.B has recorded 11 long players and one compilation of acts from his own Chap-Hop Business Concern (CHBC) label and has just released a boxset of the three albums he recorded during lockdown as The Hunkerdown Trilogy. He also spent lockdown streaming weekly DJ nights from B Towers under the name ‘Niceolation’ on mixcloud and started ‘The School of Chap-Hop’ on twitch.tv/gentlemanrhymer which is a weekly improvised looping, beatboxing, beatmaking and teak&cake do on Thursday afternoons.
HIs videos have garnered millions of view on YouTube and his media appearances have included rapping for Jeremy Paxman on Newsnight, playing live on BBC Radio One for Rob Da Bank, Nick Grimshaw and Scott Mills, on Radio Two for Claudia Winkleman and Steve Lamacq, 6Music for Tom Robinson and Shaun Kenaveny and for Zoe Ball on Sky Arts. He was also once the front page of the Wall Street Journal and was described by the Daily Mail as ‘Controversial’.
