Bruin Brood by Cream
Cream is a product of both the grimy streets of the Cape Flats, and the long tradition of lyrical hip hop in Cape Town. His music is the soundtrack to his trials, tribulations, hopes and ambitions - it's his passion, his hunger and his salvation.
Cream is first and foremost a lyricist who's love for the art of hip hop and wordplay is evident on this, his debut album. Cream's delivery is like an iron fist in a silk glove - his vicious street flows and dark metaphors are balanced by his trademark melodic, ear-pleasing delivery - you're gonna get slapped silly, but it will feel good!
Cream effortlessly switches between Afrikaans and English, colliding and fusing them together in a lyrical nuclear reaction that is guaranteed to melt concrete.
Bruin Brood, which, literally translated from Afrikaans, means 'brown bread' or metaphorically, 'food for thought', was produced entirely by legendary Cape Town hip hop icon, Hipe, who is internationally recognised for his soulful, sample-based production. With Hipe on the boards, you know you're getting timeless classics.
Together, Cream and Hipe are the sound of the streets of Cape Town and Bruin Brood is a certified classic. In Cream's own words, believe the Hipe!
