I noticed that too the first time I saw this video. I thought, "That is fucking awesome." My favorite band ever since and this is probably my 10,000 time back to this video. The crazy part about it is I'm a metal guy. Hardcore, 70's and 80's punk and death metal. That led me to loving old jazz and blues. Then of course bluegrass which lead me to this. Covered in tattoos, black my favorite color and my favorite band plays rapping bluegrass. Defying stereotypes.

[@gaztard1]

@@duhstymunkey8830 same here. Played for 39 years all over the US ZDX. Happened across it looking for something else couldn't tell u now what it was. But bluegrass, Rap what in the world are they thinking this just will not work have to see this. Incredible band incredible vocals all the way around next thing you now have all there albums. 6 of them. Why is radio stations not playing this. Country bluegrass rap can play on pretty much any station. This song nickel & dime would top the charts. Been around awhile why is this not mainstream. And I am playing this song all the time like you. Rock and southern rock some country almost august 40 years of playing. And I have never heard this style. Like to no how they came together. Very interesting. But the first rapper I think reminds me and looks a lot like a rapper I've seen in a rap group several years back and can not think of the name. If that is not the guy I'm thinking about it's his twin. And they were signed touring and good songs then they were gone. I think it is the same guy maybe both. I just keep drawing a blank on the name of his song and group. Or and this is very possible I drank to much shine. Both are good. But the rappers look familiar. Could be way off but looks like them. Doesnt matter now there in 1 of the best bands playing and VERY KILLER ORIGINAL love to see them live to hell with 6 ft distancing. I believe it looks and sounds like we grew up playing the same era of music. Never played death metal but love it. Played I jazz band back in the day of high school. Back then. 70s & 80s still best era of music still. 💯😎🤝🤝🍻🍻🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸✌👌🤜🤛🤟👊🙏🙏

I grew up listening to country and bluegrass. And then moved on and listened to just about every genre out there pop, rock, metal, punk, dance, blués, R and B, classical, rap......... But I never dreamed these two styles would sound this good together ...... I'm truly impressed..... And just for the record??? I don't see even a hint of any racial issues here...... 🤔🤔🤔Maybe there's a lesson here for all of us .......
