TBB Talks to ... Rapper, Teacher and Author Breis about his Creative Mind

Published on: 26th September, 2020

Breis is considered an OG of the UK rap game. With a career that kicked off in the 90s, the rapper, turned teacher, turned author has recently released a new book entitled 'Diary of a Creative Mind' which compliments his new EP Arise & Shine which touches on many of the issues that Black artists in the UK have to face including race & racism, finances and performing.  

With this book, BREIS hopes to not only inspire and encourage creatives from all backgrounds but to offer them insights into the complex yet culturally rich experience of an independent artist in the UK. 

We caught up with him to talk about his career journey, the legacy of British 'OG' rappers and of course we reminisced about the loss of the late great TY.

Your Aunties Could Never

Your Aunties Could Never brings you entertaining no nonsense straight talk from women who aren't afraid to say all the things you wish you could say.

Aunty AK, Aunty Farrah, Aunty Nana, and Aunty Sade are four friends from the UK who have lived life and are well respected in business endeavours and amongst friends and family. Elevating them to Elite Auntie status.

The Aunties have a voice and are not fearful of being heard. Join them as they discuss topical news and politics, comment on popular culture and give advice all from an informed (mature) Black woman's perspective.

Think a daytime chat show but with seasoning, real talk & large amounts of Melanin Magic.
