    BROCKHAMPTON was originally called AliveSinceForever

    BROCKHAMPTON was formed in 2010 and the band was originally called AliveSinceForever. It was founded by Kevin Abstract, Ameer Vann, Joba, Matt Champion, and Merlyn Wood in Texas. They all went to high school together and after Abstract made a post on Kanye’s message boards asking if anyone wanted to be in a band, 30 people replied, and in 2012 AliceSinceForever was born.

    The group disbanded shortly after and rebranded as BROCKHAMPTON and later signed to RCA. Their albums include Saturation I, II, and III, Iridescence, and Ginger among others, as well as solo projects from some members. They’ve toured extensively and been on late-night shows like Jimmy Fallon.

    Ameer Vann would leave the group in 2018 after being accused of sexual misconduct and emotional abuse by several women. This led to the shelving of the fourth album Puppy. The group announced that they would disband in 2022 and their final album would arrive that year as well.

    It seems like the always-evolving group Brockhampton never stops to rest. Ginger, the latest effort by the self-proclaimed boy band, is already this group’s fifth album to be released in the last two and a half years. One thing I have always appreciated about these guys is the fact that every album is so different; not only does all of their album have different underlying themes and meanings, every album pushes the envelope sonically in a way that is more intense than most other hip hop artists that are making music these days.

    On Ginger, Brockhampton seems to embrace a softer and more sweet side than they have in the past, with quite a few pop/R&B cuts that remind me of boy bands like LANY or AJR. Of course, because of artists like Joba and Merlyn, this record has plenty of intense moments as well; fans of the weird hardcore hip hop that Brockhampton has tended to make in the past will not be disappointed. Overall, Brockhampton continues to show why they are so unique on Ginger, but they are continuing to find a way to make their weirdness more accepted in the mainstream.
