The Brothers Burns

From their flow to the stage show The Brothers Burns aim to entertain and engage. Whether it's your first or fiftieth hip hop show, this trio (Burns One, Burns Two and DJ Redlite) out of San Diego will leave you with a smile on your face. From dive bars, to festivals, living rooms to the tops of moving buses and inside trolleys -- you name it and they've played it -- and if not, then put it on the bucket list!

Having opened up for the likes of Devin tha Dude, Luckyiam (of Living Legends), AWOL One, Salt N’ Pepa, and Snow tha Product just to name a few - as well as headlining hometown mainstays like House of Blues, Music Box, Casbah, and Ramona Mainstage - there’s a reason this group has grown to be a local household name!

Their influences run the gamut of old school hip hop, funk, Motown, and R&B to classic rock, classical, electronic, and more. They draw inspiration from everyday life experiences, prior/current events, social/economic happenings, and the abstract to provide an artistic and rhythmic commentary complete with lyricism, beat boxing, looping and live turntablism.

With no label behind them -- and Burns 2 & DJ Redlite bringing an arsenal of eclectic sounds and technologies -- The Brothers Burns have their sights set on the stars. There's a reason they were voted Best Hip Hop and Rap Artist at the 2023 and 2024 San Diego Music Awards. If you want to find out why, go see them live.

There are a few aspects that set us apart – natural chemistry, a desire to collaborate with others, and genuine connectivity. We’ve met and worked with a lot of artists over the years and often blur the lines of different genres [and mediums.]

It definitely hasn’t been easy, per say, but being open to collaboration and stepping outside the bounds of our ego and genre have proven to be key elements in successfully networking and marketing ourselves.

We’re most excited about continuing to grow creatively and to integrate all aspects of our creative facets and take them across the world. [𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞 — 𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐝𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭!]

What have we learned along the way? If we stick together we can do ANYTHING, DO NOT do pay-to-play shows, and learn to play nicely with others – inside and outside your genres and mediums. Trust your gut and don’t be afraid to take a chance.

Our brand is built on genuine connectivity. We’re about as grass roots as it gets, and believe in building up ourselves as well as everyone around us. One of us wins, all of us win.
