BBNG made it to the light by covering Odd Future's first hits, in a free jazz mode. These "Odd Future Sessions" became popular over the web thanks to a wonderful video and the possibility to download the mp3 files of the recording session.
But... who are they ? Three guys from Toronto, still in their teens or just above. They play an excellent mix of instrumental hip hop and jazz using a simple combination of keys (piano or synths), drums, and bass (guitar bass or upright bass). They have obviously been inspired by hip hop, as you can hear in their latest release (free download y'all !), which includes covers/interpretations of rap classics "Mass Appeal", "The World Is Yours", "Brooklyn Zoo"...
This being said, they released on their Bandcamp a lot of other projects, which can be called EP's, and tracks, like this J Dilla tribute. It looks like the band has developped a real cult for Tyler, The Creator and his friends, as they recorded a "Goblin" interpretation, once again both in mp3 files and streaming video.
Get jazzed.
