Guys check out eastern european folk. Otava yo, guzwianki, Auli, it's all similarly cool.

[@c0untz3r01984]

Any student of music history can tell you that Hip hop and bluegrass are both the music of the poor and oppressed. The two coming together is just wonderful and uplifting. I'm 111% hooked

[@BelieveNoGod]

I'm from Norway, and love to discover music like this. I have seen them, for about 3 yrs now. Sorry to say I haven't had the chance to see them live yet. ☺🤩

I have loved Rap since I was a kid in the 80's & 90s. I have grown to love bluegrass as an adult. I never would of thought that these 2 genres would sound so amazing together.

[@jeannie1renee2]

They both grew out of the same musical stew. Poor people, talking about their lives. -- kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5yomaechbNjbpY

[@dnldhttnjr]

If you like this you should check out the thrash metal/ bluegrass fusion in Turmoil and Tinfoil by Billy Strings. I was blown away by the combo.

[@jackblack3156]

2pac and bill monroe are two of my favorite musicians. Ive asked for years why no bluegrass rap, ladies and gentlemen, I introduce Gangstagrass

As much as I love this band and I want nothing more than for them to come back to Scotland soon. My favourite thing is to read the comments and see folks that came here accidentally and experienced what I did for the first time. I'll never forget my first time either! Gangstagrass baby!

[@kylepeak7033]

If you're looking at the differences in these talented men, you're paying attention to the wrong detail. How about the respect for both cultures, seeing a hardened rapper, dance to a banjo, and a good ole boy rocking a banjo to some lyrical bars. This my friends, is UNITY. Not even as a fan, I LOVE you guys for what you're doing during these hard times. It's not easy to bring people together today. You did.

how have i missed this band?! Dont know how i ended up here but i sure am glad to find this!!

Just discovered Gangstergrass after watching a preview of AGT & absolutely loved their performance. After checking out even more music by them, I’ve realized just how much I enjoy the mixture of these two genres. I’m definitely gonna add them onto my playlist. It’s so awesome when diversity & open mindedness come together & creates something so magical. I already listen to a wide variety of music, not just from different genres, but in different languages as well, so I get super excited whenever I hear something new that sounds so wonderfully different to my ears.
