  • Gangstagrass gets in a groove at the Shed in Maryville, TN

    August 23, 2022 | by Lee Zimmerman

    Granted, Gangstagrass offers the unexpected. The band's highly unlikely fusion of bluegrass and rap/hip hop results in a sound that may seem entirely alien to fans of both genres. Consequently, it takes an open mind. However, once the band is

  • No Time for Enemies – Gangstagrass

    November 10, 2020 | by Lee Zimmerman

    Gangstagrass makes music that's decidedly different, and otherwise hard to envision, at least in theory. An unlikely blend of bluegrass and — of all things — an ample amount of rap and hip-hop. It makes for an unexpected — and

  • Gangstagrass continues stylistic mashup on No Time For Enemies

    August 26, 2020 | by John Lawless

    For as long as we've been covering the bluegrass music scene, even before The Bluegrass Blog was absorbed by Bluegrass Today, we've had our eye on Gangstagrass. This genre-bending outfit takes the banjo and fiddle out of the mountains and

  • Bluegrass Beyond Borders: Gangstagrass takes their sound to a decidedly new destination

    June 6, 2019 | by Lee Zimmerman

    Bluegrass and hip hop are rarely spoken of in the same context. And the fusion of the two forms puts the band Gangstagrass beyond those borders in the strictest sense. Indeed, this intrepid ensemble has managed to make a bold

  • All For One video from Gangstagrass

    May 23, 2014 | by John Lawless

    Gangstagrass, a hip-hop/bluegrass hybrid outfit from Brooklyn, has a new music video for their latest release, All For One. While not likely to please hard-core traditionalists (I'm talking to you, Dennis Jones), bluegrass lovers with an ear for different sounds

  • Dana & Lauren – Hip Hop’n grass

    June 11, 2011 | by John Lawless

    Dana & Lauren, formerly The Shankman twins, have released a debut video from their new, self-titled CD. It's an odd musical pairing, featuring Dana on banjo and Lauren on fiddle offering up a grassy remake of Tupac Shakur's 1995 hit, California

  • Cumberland River on Justified tonight

    April 6, 2011 | by John Lawless

    We've posted a few times about the FX original program Justified, and the bluegrass-tinged music they use during the show's soundtrack. It started with Rench, a hip hop artist who (as Ganstagrass) incorporates bluegrass elements in his music beds. He landed

  • Gangstagrass returns with new CD

    May 24, 2010 | by John Lawless

    Brance has posted a couple of times about Gangstagrass, the brainchild of New York artist Rench. His concept involves mixing the acoustic sound of bluegrass instruments and rhythms with hip hop beats and rhymes. It may not please purists in

  • Gangstagrass on Justified tonight

    March 23, 2010 | by Brance

    Justified is a new TV show on the FX network. It's the story of a Deputy U.S. Marshal, Raylan Givens, in Kentucky. It looks like fun. The producers have mixed together some great ingredients: Kentucky, old fashioned quick-draw gun fights,
