The Mitchell Brothers

Named following the iconic hardmen siblings of Uk cleaning soap opera EastEnders, South London hip-hop duo the Mitchell Brothers are cousins Owura Nyanin and Kofi Hanson. Motivated by famous brands OutKast, Jay-Z, as well as the Notorious B.We.G., Nyanin and Hanson started making music within their bedrooms young and, beneath the guise of Tony and Teddy Mitchell, pressed up over 1,000 copies of the first mixtape, Sorted. Spotting the Roads’ Mike Skinner in a loan company in Brixton, they slipped a duplicate of their demonstration Compact disc into his handbag and, with Skinner impressed by their effort, they became the very first work to indication to his The Beats record label. In 2004, Hanson supplied visitor vocals for the Roads’ Best Three strike “Fit NEVERTHELESS, YOU Understand It,” along with a season afterwards they released their debut record, A Breathing of Fresh Clothes, which created three minor strike singles. After helping 50 Cent on his U.K. tour, they released a Calvin Harris-produced homage to Michael Jackson, but following disappointing product sales of 2007 follow-up Outfitted for the Event, they went their separate methods.
