Toronto-based collective BADBADNOTGOOD have carved a unique space at the intersection of jazz, hip-hop, and electronic music. Formed in 2010, the group—originally Matthew Tavares, Chester Hansen, and Alexander Sowinski—gained early attention for their inventive live reinterpretations of hip-hop tracks before evolving into acclaimed composers and producers. Their collaborations span artists like Kendrick Lamar, Ghostface Killah, and Tyler, The Creator, and albums such as *IV* and *Talk Memory* showcase their genre-blurring artistry, rich instrumentation, and fearless improvisation that continue to redefine modern jazz’s boundaries.
