about
Higher Brothers emerged in 2015 as part of the CDC (Chengdu Rap House) collective, revolutionizing Chinese hip-hop by blending American trap with local culture. They signed with 88rising in 2017, propelling them onto the global stage. Their album "Black Cab" (2017) cemented them as pioneers of Chinese trap, while "Five Stars" (2019)—featuring collaborations with Soulja Boy, Denzel Curry, and Ski Mask—catapulted them to worldwide recognition. With lyrics ranging from braggadocio ("Made in China") to social commentary ("Open It Up"), their sound fuses 808 beats, punchlines in Mandarin/Chengdu dialect, and infectious hooks. They've performed at Coachella (2019) and collaborated with artists like JID, Playboi Carti, and ScHoolboy Q. As solo artists, KnowKnow shines in R&B ("Mr. Enjoy Da Money"), while Masiwei explores more experimental sounds. Today, they continue to dominate Asian charts and push Chinese hip-hop onto the global scene.
