Sonnyjim

Cheeba Beat Club is bringing a night of underground hip-hop to A L P H A B E T on 11 Dyke Road, Brighton, on Saturday, 30 May 2026. The event centres on a performance by Sonnyjim, a figure in the UK rap scene recognised for his specific style of wordplay and his history of working with artists such as MF DOOM and Madlib. This appearance in Brighton is notable given the artist's usual touring schedule. The focus of the evening is on the raw elements of the genre, combining lyrical performance with live beat production in a setting that prioritises the sound quality of the music.

Supporting the main set, Tay Jordan will provide vocal support, while the live beat-making aspect of the night will be handled by Cuth, Bay29, and Kenny Cheeba. The venue itself, A L P H A B E T, is set up as a high-fidelity pub that also houses a space for live music. This layout allows for a specific atmosphere where the technical aspects of the beats can be heard clearly alongside the vocal performances. The event is scheduled to run from 19:00 to 22:00, providing a three-hour window for the performances to take place in a focused environment.

For those planning to attend, the event is strictly for those aged 18 and over. Tickets are currently listed with a guide price of £15.00. It is worth keeping in mind that this price is subject to change on a daily basis, so checking the current status before heading out is advisable. Given the nature of the venue and the lineup, the evening is geared towards those with an interest in the technical and underground side of hip-hop culture. The combination of a high-fidelity sound environment and a lineup of beat makers and rappers suggests a focus on the craft of the music itself. It is a straightforward setup for anyone looking to see these specific artists perform in a venue that is designed to handle live music alongside its regular pub operations.
