Video: DCG Brothers – “The Biggest“
The Rising Chicago Native Duo Takes Their Shine from the Streets to Festival Stages in Latest Video Single
Critical Praise:
“Big things are happening on the West Side of Chicago…You can’t find [two] rappers having more fun right now.” – Pitchfork
“Chicago is and will be the home of drill forever. The DCG Brothers are among those carrying the torch into a new generation with their own pop-friendly twist. Each record, they continue to carve out their own lane in rap.” – HotNewHipHop
“Just when it seemed like the drill scene in Chicago was coming to a bit of a standstill, the DCG Brothers came in and made an insane splash with their modern take on a sound that put this city on the map in a huge way.” – Lyrical Lemonade
“DCG Brothers Make Pop Drill for a New Generation” – DJ Booth
“I could still get a taste of that old summertime feeling from the video for ‘Mmhmm,’ by teenage west-side rap duo DCG Brothers.” – Chicago Reader
The Video:
With magnetic personalities that few in the Chicago scene can match, the DCG Brothers, comprised of DCG Shun & DCG Bsavv, bring a refreshing dose of personality into the drill scene. Documenting their rise as it unfolds without shying away from the raw realities of the South Side streets that raised them, the DCG Brothers share their latest video single, “The Biggest.” Over ominous synths weaved into acoustic strings and spattering kick drums, producer BWolf201’s haunting instrumental provides a fitting canvas for the brothers’ hushed, villainesque flow as they deliver their cautionary flexes: “My opps thinking it’s playtime/I got some dice and I’m finna shake mine.”
The video for “The Biggest” gives testament to the strength of the brothers’ connection to the Windy City even as they continue to reach new heights with their music. Posted outside Chicago’s United Center with a fleet of black SUVs, the brothers keep their community close–including fellow Chitown riser PGF Nuk, who makes a cameo appearance. As the video cuts to footage of the duo bringing their infectious energy to the Summer Smash festival stage, they jump in the crowd to take videos with fans while performing and stop to capture a quick cameo from fellow Chicago native, Lil Zay Osama, showing their immutable love for the city
Earlier this year, the DCG Brothers shared Jungle Life, an accomplished, 14-track mixtape that established the duo as one of the most exciting acts in their hometown. Home to the hit single “Stomp,” featuring Chicago legend G Herbo (1.8 million YouTube views), Jungle Life takes a raw, unfiltered look at the group’s home neighborhood, while showcasing the percolating chemistry that helped them escape their circumstances. “Growing up in a real jungle around savage and seeing crazy things, basically meeting different types of people and associating them with animals,” say the DCG BROTHERS. “RATS, SNAKES, GORILLAS, & EVERYDAY IT’S A SURVIVAL IN THE JUNGLE.” Featuring additional appearances from BIG30, B-Lovee, and frequent collaborator Msavv, Jungle Life has earned nearly 15 million streams since its release and it is available everywhere via No More Heroes/Atlantic Records.
With much more music, and plenty more creative videos, and with the backing of No More Heroes and Atlantic Records, there’s no limit to the heights the DCG BROTHERS will reach.

The Background:
Though DCG Shun and DCG BSavv may seem like newcomers in the rap game, they’ve been perfecting their craft for years. Bsavv started rapping when he was 8-years-old–around the time of Chicago’s world-changing drill boom–inspiring his brother Shun to learn to spit and establishing a symbiotic artistic relationship that has lasted over a decade. Racking up YouTube videos by the million before Shun could legally drive, the duo became known around Chicago for their irrepressible personalities, drawing the attention of prolific music video collective No More Heroes, who paired their boisterous bars with eye-popping visuals to match. The duo earned acclaim from national media, including Pitchfork, with the hilarious “Mmhmm” ft. Msavv (3.4 million views), which deposited the three emcees on a golf course for eighteen holes of mayhem. DCG Brothers kept the momentum going in 2021 with “House Party,” produced by Internet Money, generating over 2.3 million views. Hot on the heels of their recent Jungle Life mixtape, the DCG Brothers are looking to elevate from Chicago heroes to national names. The brother duo have racked up over 20 million on-demand streams and 21 million YouTube views over the course of their career.
