The Nostalgic Case of Joey Valence & Brae

What's up, peeps! Ready to dive into 2025 with one of the most exciting hip hop comebacks in recent memory? Meet Joey Valence & Brae, also known as JVB. Hailing from Penn State, Joseph Bertolino (Joey Valence) and Braedan Lugue (Brae) bring 90s boom bap and East Coast hip hop vibes with a modern twist, often compared to The Beastie Boys. Their music blends nerdcore lyricism with infectious energy for an unforgettable listening experience. Joey started producing at 12, inspired by his dad’s eclectic taste in hip hop, R&B, funk, and jazz. Brae, influenced by his breakdancing dad, grew up watching rap cyphers on YouTube. Their journey began with fun rap sessions in Joey’s apartment, which soon turned into viral TikToks and their debut single, "Crank It Up." From their DIY music videos to their high-energy performances, JVB has taken the independent music scene by storm. Their debut EP, The Underground Sound, and viral hit "Punk Tactics" showcase their genre-bending, experimental style. With references to everything from Mortal Kombat to Star Wars, their music is a nostalgic yet fresh blast from the past. Join us as we explore the history, discography, and chaotic creativity of Joey Valence & Brae.
