Metal bands all come together for a night to remember

A ‘00s baby growing up in Vegas, Hykeem Carter couldn’t be any less interested in a City of Sin devoid of a hip hop scene. But, maybe, it was that very boredom that fuelled the budding Grammy Award winner’s hunger to explore new horizons; working on his craft largely under the radar; purposely not reaching out or revealing his connection to his cousin – a one Kendrick Lamar – until he reached at least an adequate level of prowess. Baby Keem’s debut album, The Melodic Blue, came in 2021, a forceful, mostly self-produced statement of intent from the burgeoning artist. Trap bangers high on ‘durag activity’ with the likes of Travis Scott pierced through wistful, cinematic moods akin to indie song-making, all the way to number five on the Billboard 200. The now LA-based rapper also had the confidence to stand proudly beside Lamar. Enter ‘family ties’, a combative, horn-laden showstopper of a track from the album, and the cousins’ first official collab. Nominated for two Grammy Awards, the single won them Best Rap Performance the following year. While shedding the layers to allow a new vulnerability shine through, Baby Keem bolstered his resume with high-profile collabs on either side of his first studio release: he got production credits on Beyoncé’s The Lion King: The Gift, Jay Rock’s Redemption and Schoolboy Q’s Crash Talk. He joined Kanye West’s ‘Praise God’, alongside Travis Scott, on the chart-topping Donda in 2021, and Lamar’s conscious hip-hop opus Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers in 2022, winner of Best Rap Album at the 65th Annual Grammy Awards. Still in his early 20s, a break for this life-long student of hip-hop was long overdue. But, even away from the spotlight, Baby Keem is always writing his next chapter. Hear him roar.

They built upon this success with 2000's We Have the Facts and We're Voting Yes and 2001's The Photo Album. After the release of the hugely popular fourth album Transatlanticism in October 2003, the band signed to Atlantic Records and released their major label debut Plans in 2005, selling 90,000 copies in its first week of release and moving the band to a new level of success.

Hard rocking New York quartet fronted by ex-Gossip Girl star Taylor Momsen The Pretty Reckless formed in NYC in 2009 under the guidance of former actress and model Taylor Momsen. Famed for her roles in Gossip Girl and How The Grinch Stole Christmas, Momsen turned her back on acting to focus on a music career. Specialising in a swaggering hard rock sound that drew on influences from Led Zeppelin to Hole, the band toured as opener for The Veronicas before releasing their first song ‘Make Me Wanna Die’ on the soundtrack to the film Kick-Ass. The Pretty Reckless’s first two albums saw their audience grow exponentially, with 2013’s Going To Hell landing at No.5 in the Billboard Top 200 off the back of singles ‘Messed Up World’ and ‘Follow Me Down’. The band’s third album Who You Selling For, landed them a slot opening for Soundgarden, whose drummer Matt Cameron went on to produce their fourth album Death By Rock And Roll. Rage Against The Machine guitarist Tom Morello guest appeared on the album, which was released in early 2021.

Yard Act formed in Leeds in September 2019 when Ryan Needham found himself temporarily living in James Smith's spare bedroom. The two had been pub associates for years, but their new living circumstances served as a catalyst for their friendship and creative partnership which saw them fuse James' interest in spoken word with Ryan's primitive proto-punk demos using an ancient drum machine and borrowed bass guitar. They released their first material in March 2020, coinciding with you-know-what, and with just three singles (The Trapper's Pelts, Fixer Upper and Peanuts) and three gigs to date, Yard Act have staked out a territory all their own. Setting up their own imprint Zen F.C. they released their debut 7 which can now only be found for exorbitant sums on Discogs, they've scored two 6music playlists, and they've won a growing fanbase with their coruscating, narrative driven, spoken word dance-punk. Now girding their loins for a 2021 filled with new music, new recordings, debut novels, and (fingers crossed) plenty of live shows, Yard Act have most definitely marked our cards as one of UK's most exciting prospects.
