I’m so joyful to share my new album ‘A Lyrical Fash Bash’… It’s out now wherever you get music.... ❤️🌱🎧 #musicsky #antifascist #alternativehiphop #hiphop #ukhiphop

A mixed media painted collage by Summer and B of Briz - big white letters spell out the title 'A Lyrical Fash Bash' and the artist 'B of Briz' at the bottom of the black frame. - a cloudy sky, with a midnight sun. In the foreground, a mountain range, each mountain with B's 'visage' carved onto it - each from a different era. Lurking behind the mountain - the monster of fascism, red, fleshy, toothy, lurking.

My new album is coming next week! I’m as excited and scared about this release as I ever have been. Sometimes it feels fuckin wild to have emotions this big about the sonic version of some drawings I did that in another life would have gone up on the fridge. But here we are! ❤️🌱🎧 #musicsky #ukmusic

I'm so excited that the first preview/ review of my album (coming 6th Oct) is here! @meansmagazine.bsky.social have OK'd me to share this screenshot, but please consider supporting Means Magazine... a true celebration of arts /culture beyond the mainstream! meansmag.bandcamp.com/merch/means-... ❤️🌱🎧

Returning for their second album, B of Briz continue their mission to unpick the ills of modernity one rap at a
time. I don’t want to say ‘this is the sort of thing that is usually quite shit’ but I just have. The fact is, knocking
out ropey, two-dimensional lyrics is commonplace (and probably deeply unhelpful) - B of Briz, however, succeeds
by actually writing good lyrics, marrying social critiques with a level of self-analysis that wonderfully paints the
position of a struggling politically-minded artist trying to navigate the sharp-end of late-stage capitalism. There
is a playfulness at work that frames political critique as more than performative - accordions and squelching
synths provide a knowing irony that supports the lyrical flow, providing a depth and reason to the anger that
underpins the words on offer. The result is a weirdly grounded stream of consciousness that drifts between the
external and the internal, teasing on-the-nose declarations with abstract language, trip-hop breaks with emotive
pianos and vaguely hauntological synths. There is a certain repetition, structurally at least, a to and fro that
enables the lyrics to take the spotlight. Despite this, each track reveals layers of colours and timbres - not quite
verses and choruses but more subtly changes of mood and instrumentation that mirrors the emotional intelligence
of the lyrics. Tracks like ‘Dear Antifa’ ruminates on the process of signing up to an organisation that doesn’t
really exist (in a structural sense), managing to laugh at the vagueness and intangibility of the left even as it
celebrates it. This is the great thing about B of Briz - its super critical of the dominant socio-economic systems,
but mediates such critique through the lived, and occasional contradictory, experience of actually living in the
world it berates. Such complexity, rather than compromising the message, serves to amplify its necessity.

In ‘Not that deep’ (out now!), I explore what it means that we’re here every day in the living remnants of a morally bankrupt and discredited ideology – we on the Left have to welcome everyone in solidarity who is reorienting themselves away from it (even imperfectly) #musicsky #alternativehiphop

My new single 'Shadow Play' will be here v soon - the tracks are ‘Shadow Play’ + ‘Not that Deep’ - both dedicated, in their own ways, to saying a big FU to the people who tell you you’re overthinking it (not in a conspiracy-bollocks way)/ ❤️🎧 #musicsky #emergingartist #alternativehiphop #womeninmusic

B sits leaning forwards in a chair, elbows resting on knees. She's wearing a black sequined jumpsuit, almost invisible in the gloom. Her velvet overcoat gleams. Her hair is messy, curly, falls over her shoulders. Her face is covered by a black velvet facemask on the lower half, and ornately decorated ski-style goggles, all ferns, and silver adornments, and patterned spraypainted lenses.

We can look to billionaires as an evil (and we should, and they are, and they deserve to have the eye of justice on them), but they’re also an expression of a deeper rot, one we’re so used to, we’re, like, nose blind to it, or something…. #musicsky

A black and white image of B of Briz, face covered by a black velvet mask accross nose and mouth, and ornately decorated sky-style google, including a black fern as the centrepiece.

Still chatting about my new song 'Song so Good' hoping some more people can hear it! I love the physicality of the piano against the inescapably electronic-ness of the 808 in this song. L did the piano and melody for this and I was blown away by how dynamic and beautiful it is (she is amazing).

B is wearing a black velvet facemask, and ornately decorated ski-style googles. Her light curly hair falls messily about her shoulders (which are themselves clad in a sequined, hooded, jacket.

Solidarity is material and emotional: “But maybe this album will provide someone a little solidarity or comfort or something that’s the fundamental hopefulness of anti-fascism – we can each create bits of beauty from our humanness”

A black and white image of B of Briz. She's standing with her hands on her hips, but it's cropped above there, so you can't see her hands or her hips. Her hair is light coloured, curly and loose around her shoulders (covered themselves by shiny sequins - B is wearing a hooded, sequined bomber jacket). B's face is covered by a black velvet facemask and ornately decorated ski-style goggles. Her stance implies defiance, although you can't see that on her face, obviously.

A mixed media painted collage by Summer and B of Briz - big black letters spell out the title 'Avarice' and the artist 'B of Briz' at the bottom of the black frame. - big blue but cloudy sky, on a green landscape. In the foreground a conflagration - a pyre, with handwritten letters and banknotes burning. On the very front of frame - the monster of fascism, red, fleshy, toothy, lurking.

New album is coming in 2026.... I can't wait to share it with you! It's alt hip hop, it's about anti-fascism, it's about resistance. The vibe is, if you're not angry in 2026, you're not paying attention.... #musicsky #musiciansky

In a stylised, coloufully filtered image, B wears a black velvet face mask, and ski style goggles, lenses covered in a geometric pattern, embellished with beads the colours of galaxies, a large etched silver bead in the middle, and a black fern leaf sticks up from the top. B's hair falls curly, messy onto the left side of her face. On the wooden fence behind her, graffiti says 'One love' with a heart and a kiss underneath.

So that was 2025, eh? Thanks to everyone who listened to my music or shared it this year it means the world to me! ❤️💫🌱 I hope my EP 'Solace' gave at least a few people some solace, truly. I'm glad I made it. #emergingartist #ukhiphop #ukmusic #ukmusician #bristol #bristolmusic

B sits in front of a slatted screen. Her hair is messy curly, the kind of hair that won't do what you tell it. It falls around her shoulders, shiny golden against the black silky shirt she's wearing. The muted but colourful leaves on her shirt also stand out against the cream-coloured screen. B's wearing a black velvet face-mask, and ornately decorated ski-style goggles, adorned with pearls and gold and silver, with a tree of life in the centre.

B stands on a green ridge, overlooking Bristol's most famous bridge, Clifton Suspension is. B's wearing grey hoody, grey Etnies, black leggings, and a black velvet face mask, in addition to ornately decorated ski-style goggles. The sky is blue with dramatic white a gret clouds. It's big, you guys, the sky. It fills almost the entire top half of the frame of the photo.
