MR.B’S PROBABLY ACCURATE HIP-HOP HISTORY SHOW
After years of twisting Hip-Hop to his Chap-Hop will, Mr.B finally brings you the full story

Mr.B invented Chap-Hop in 2007, having spent years as a Britrap hitmaker (anyone

Osaka, Banstead to Berlin, Manchester 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.
The album accompanying this tour will be his fifteenth. His videos have garnered millions
of views 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 on Radio Two for Claudia Winkleman & Steve Lamacq, 6 Music for Tom Robinson & Shaun Keaveny, Radio Four with Diane Morgan, discussing Hip-Hop on
Romesh Ranganathan’s podcast and rhyming for Zoe Ball on Sky Arts. He was also once on the front page of the Wall Street Journal and was described by the Daily Mail as ‘Controversial’.

original songs. It will amaze with previously unknown f
