The '''Black Rhyme Organisation to Help Equal Rights''' ('''B.R.O.T.H.E.R.''' ) was a 1989 protest [[Supergroup (music)|supergroup]] founded in the [[United Kingdom]] by the [[raga]]-rap group Gatecrash and a collective of [[Hip hop]] musicians to protest the policies of [[apartheid]] in [[South Africa]].

The group's debut single, ''Beyond the 16th Parallel'', was released on [[Island Records]] "4th & Broadway" label. It was followed by a music video. The artists involved donated all royalties to the [[African National Congress]].

The second B.R.O.T.H.E.R. project was a three-track EP, ''Ghettogeddon'', focusing on the issue of inner city gun culture in the early 1990s. The artists involved donated all royalties to SCAR, [[Sickle Cell Anemia]] Research.
