Skyrocketing into fame is a perfect way to describe the journey these three former Humber College students have experienced in the past three years. Hailing from Toronto, ON, BadBadNotGood, or abbreviated to BBNG, is comprised of keyboardist Matthew Tavares, drummer Alexander Sowinski, and bassist Chester Hansen. They began to create a buzz on the Internet following their collaborative jam sessions with Tyler, the Creator. Following this burst in fame, the band ended up working and touring with big names such as MF DOOM, Earl Sweatshirt, RZA, Frank Ocean, and Danny Brown. Known for their distinct fusion of hip-hop and modern jazz, BBNG comes through with their first ever fully-original LP on III, parting from the track listings on their previous albums BBNG and BBNG2, which were mainly comprised of a wide variety of jazz renditions of songs from multiple genres, including the Ocarina of Time themes, Gucci Mane, ODB, Robert Glasper, Kanye West, Feist, and many more.
