A genre-demolishing formula by the name of Gangstagrass: a crack team of bluegrass pickers and battle tested MCs that have produced a bunch of full-length albums exploring the many possibilities of this genre fusion.

2020’s “No Time For Enemies” reached #1 on the Billboard bluegrass charts (the first time an album featuring real hip-hop MCs had done so). Since then, Gangstagrass has toured internationally, blowing minds on main stages from SXSW to Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival, Glastonbury to America’s Got Talent, to Colours of Ostrava, to Shambala.  This rebellious collective has achieved unparalleled success in crafting an innovative sound rooted in historically significant heritage, garnering a reputation among fans for its dynamism and spontaneity. You have to see it to believe it!

The last few years have seen their biggest UK and European festival run to date with performances at Colours of Ostrava (CZ), Zwarte Cross (NL), Cambridge Folk Festival (UK), Womad Festival (UK), Montelago Celtic Festival (IT), Shrewsbury Folk Festival (UK),  The Long Road (UK) & Smukfest (DK)

… armed with their latest album “Blackest Thing On The Menu”, they can’t wait to come back!

Gangstagrass fuses string instruments with hip-hop artists, resulting in arguably the best argument yet for a rap and country music marriage.
Rolling Stone Magazine
A mixture of bluegrass and hip-hop that might repel some purists on either side of the country-and- rap divide, but will knock the socks off just about everybody else.
Wall Street Journal
Gangstagrass adeptly layers rap lyrics over strong emotional accents from the instruments, something most DJs can't take advantage of when sampling electronica music.
