Video: DCG Brothers – “Bond Hold“
Chicago Drill’s Most Dynamic Duo Take The Party Wherever They Go 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:
Aiming to be the biggest duo out of Chicago, the DCG Brothers inject their magnetic personalities into everything they do. The teen rap duo, comprised of DCG Shun & DCG BSavv, prove they’re unlike anyone in the Chicago drill scene with their latest video single, “Bond Hold.” Over an ominously bouncy piano instrumental, the brothers deliver flex-heavy bars and snarling tough talk, emphasizing their cold-hearted ways and status in their city. Bsavv boasts: “I been the man, I feel like Soulja Boy in 2010,” to which Shun follows up: “I been runnin’ sh*t for real, I got my arm swole.”
In the No More Heroes-directed video, the brothers’ lavish lifestyle is on full display as they turn up everywhere from the club to the party to the show. Starting at a booming house party where the brothers show off their iced out chains and stacks of cash, the video demonstrates how far they’ve come, shining a spotlight on the packed-out crowd from the brothers’ hometown show at the Patio Theater.
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.
