Bad Boy Chiller Crew (abbreviated as BBCC) are a Yorkshire rap collective from Bradford, UK.{{Cite web |last1=Beaumont-Thomas |first1=Ben |last2=Snapes |first2=Laura |date=27 December 2019 |title=Bradford bassline and ketamine-charged punk – 50 new artists for 2020 |url=http://www.theguardian.com/music/2019/dec/27/bradford-bassline-and-ketamine-charged-punk-50-new-artists-for-2020 |access-date=8 December 2022 |website=The Guardian |language=en}} The group is composed of Gareth "GK" Kelly, Kane Welsh, and Sam "Clive" Robinson.

The group began by uploading comedy and prank videos on a Facebook page named "itzmefraz" as far back as 2017. The page was created by Kane and Kieran "Fraz" Durkin. In late 2018, they began to make music as Bad Boy Chiller Crew with early members Fraz, Lewis "Molegrip" Lock and Clive. Kane then became an MC with the group after being in the background, mostly recording videos prior. GK later joined as their DJ (eventually to also become an MC) and after internal feuds, Fraz and Molegrip were kicked out of the group in the first half of 2019.{{cite interview|subject-link= BBCC|interviewer= Will Chalker|title= Bad Boy Chiller Crew: Today Bradford, Tomorrow we take over the world|url= https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/newsbeat-53663601|publisher= BBC Newsbeat|access-date= 21 November 2020|archive-date= 9 December 2020|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20201209022124/https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/newsbeat-53663601|url-status= live}}{{cite web|url=https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/bad-boy-chiller-crew-full-wack-no-brakes/|title=Bad Boy Chiller Crew: Full Wack No Brakes Album Review|website=Pitchfork|accessdate=21 November 2020|archive-date=5 November 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201105110149/https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/bad-boy-chiller-crew-full-wack-no-brakes/|url-status=live}}
