Joey Valence & Brae Hyperyouth

In the four years since joining forces, fast-rising, genre-defying alt/hip-hop phenoms Joey Valence & Brae have cemented themselves as a must-see live act and bona fide recording artists with viral one-off singles and full-length projects like their recently released third studio album HYPERYOUTH (RCA Records).

With the volume turned up to max capacity — and while remaining undeniably themselves throughout — JVB are as eclectic and hard-hitting as ever on HYPERYOUTH. They recently wrapped the first leg of their sold-out HYPERYOUTH WORLD TOUR in celebration of the new record, which brought their insane live show (which BBC Radio 1’s Jack Saunders calls “the best live show I’ve been to in years”) to cities throughout North America and the UK, as well as to major festivals including Gov Ball, Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza (Chicago, Paris and Berlin), Osheaga, Shaky Knees, Austin City Limits Music Festival, and more.

HYPERYOUTH was written, produced, mixed, and mastered by the pair in Joey’s State College, PA bedroom and is jam-packed with all the hallmarks of the best of JVB. It’s a sample-heavy, maximalist rager threaded by boisterous raps, booty-popping bars, catchy call-and-response hooks, and EDM-infused beats, and features the likes of JPEGMAFIA, Rebecca Black, and TiaCorine.

The record digs deeper thematically, weaving a message of growing up without getting old throughout — a marked lyrical evolution and the duo’s most innovative work to date that still marries elements from their early hits and critically acclaimed debut PUNK TACTICS (its title track was Certified RIAA Gold) and sophomore LP NO HANDS + NO HANDS (Deluxe Edition), which featured Danny Brown, Z-Trip, and Ayesha Erotica.

In between those drops, they’ve collaborated with an eclectic mix of friends and fans including IDK, Pendulum, 6ix, ACRAZE, and Apashe, and conquered the sync market over the past year — appearing in viral commercials including Pepsi’s award-winning “Chase Cars,” in video games such as Madden NFL 26, WWE 2025, MLB: The Show 24, and on popular TV shows including Abbott Elementary, Cobra Kai, Based on a True Story, and more.

With each year, JVB grow bolder, braver, and louder, turning up the volume on their swag as they skillfully traverse a smash-and-grab collision of ’90s hip-hop, drum ‘n’ bass, and decades-spanning pop culture references. They continue carving out their own niche with a signature sound that’s equal parts nostalgic yet futuristic, authentic, and infectious — all while remaining on a mission to one day open a Cheesecake Factory in their hometown.
