The Clown Prince

The Clown Prince

‘Put Em Up’ EP

Boxing and weaving their way to the front of the funkiest and coolest of London’s music elite is The Clown Prince; an unsigned band formed in East London. Frontman CHiF received critical acclaim with his debut EP ‘Soon Come’ and now cranks things up a notch with this sophomore release with sidekick Neel The Wiz.

Described as AfRaPunK, The Clown Prince blends punk rebellion with hip hop swagger, armed with East London clamor and costume glamour, 2009 will be the year to watch this rare and royal band set the UK scene alight.

‘Put Em Up’ celebrates being young, going out with your mates and generally having a good time, with sing-a-long catchy choruses akin to an East End knees up in a pub in Hoxton.

Having just completed a mini tour of the East Coast of the United States with a full band, recorded new songs and shot an exclusive video with Hip-Hop’s director of the moment Parrish (Goreela ) for their brand new single, The Clown Prince are bringing the mad circus back to Europe.


Favourite Girl is released Feb 09 on Mizchif Records

Outkast and Kanye West will definitely find something to entertain you here.”
