The name 57th Dynasty would become synonymous with UK Hiphop and eventually crowned Best Hiphop Act and Best UK Act MOBO Nominees up against Jay-Z.
'Break Free' is the 2nd music video from the UK's number one hiphop group, The 57th Dynasty. Independently released on their Brixton based label at a time when other artists were still submitting demo tapes, Brixton's finest were pioneers pushing the boundaries and challenging the majors for urban music recognition on a level never done before, or since.

Here, Thunda trades verses of upliftment with his brother Dark Troopa (Yasim) and 50/50 (Carl Fearon) *RIP over the moving Charlie Parker produced soundscape.
Break Free earned the Dynasty another unique place in British music history as vanguard collaborators with the creme de la creme of UK talent, in addition to producing and promoting the UK's 1st ever independent music video "LOVE OF HIPHOP", 1st independent album "SPOKEN WORD" self manufactured and produced quickly snatched up for national/ international distribution, 1st full page feature in the Source Mag, etc etc etc
NB: Sorry for keeping low for so long. A lot of legal issues, youtube rights, etc, but court's out, so here we are, to rewrite the history they tried to write us out of.

Best spotters from way back wen.....

[@ungenerouseverything3825]

I heard this on the radio as a kid and was knocked out by it. Just an incredible track and I needed it. In the end I ordered it specially at record store coz I couldn't find it anywhere. I can't believe I used to buy CDs let alone special-order stuff! long!!! was totally worth it tho and still sounds great now.

[@kamnathan2571]

my boys followed them from back in day. wish them youth would listen and learn from 57th they brixton foundation

[@ClamBuster4]

spoken word day it was released for £22 (because the record shop where i lived had trouble getting hold of it for me)... was a proper head then, and still a proper head now

[@buakawfan333]

One of the few first ever UKHH tunes I heard on suspect packages back in GCSE IT class lol

[@mrconcept]

@32AMJ so true man, i remember going Brixton academy in 99/2000 ish and 57th's performane was hands down best part of the night. Im pretty sure that was the night J5 or roots were headlining but i preffered being in the front room! In terms of this track i swear i had a different version

[@THATDJBREED]

[@kipparmz]

[@marlymarz]

of course i still have it lol and this tune is still in rotation on my iphone

[@UltimateMoralizer]

Awesome tune. This is real hip-hop!

[@4play49]

i was at that gigg as well i remember watching j5 my mate came n got me cos supernatural was freestyling in the smaller foyet part of the accademy so i skipped j5 i like 57th dynasty but was dissapointed that night wasnt there fault they didnt get a long enough slot they only did about 10 mins wich was prob the promoters fault the roots did best performance of the night

[@__ghostwolf__]

I remember this still but not this mix they did a few joints with estelle too ... mad fire SL finest

[@paradisetheprolific]

Bless @KNG - this is the main version of Break Free. We shot the video and did all the promo to release this edit, somewhere in between the mixing and the actual release, Charlie (producer) got Estelle in to feat on a remix version. The remix was so fire, it blew up on 1Xtra and pirate radio and immediately over took the main version. Crazy, we ended up with this video playing in heavy rotation on Channel U, and MTV while the remix was pounding radio. 🤷🏾‍♂️ #timing

[@4play49]

ahh so thats what happened i only saw you on the main stage i remembered thinking you wasnt on long i only saw supernatural in the smaller room i remember thinking promoter had fucked up i didnt realise you had already played the smaller room

[@priorycourtghostrapgrimetr2512]

way before. pdc
