Gangstagrass
Bluegrass/Hip-Hop may sound like an odd combination, but dont tell that to Producer Rench, who conceived the sound of Gangstagrass in 2006. Though it began as an isolated experiment, Gangstagrass has since grown into a critically acclaimed success celebrated by The Washington Post, The Boston Globe, TVGuide, Elmore Leonard, NPR.org, and more than 50,000 fans who have been entranced by one of the bands hundreds of performances and have purchased the bands four official LPs.
To satisfy an exploding followings demand for more material like the Justified theme song, Rench immediately produced the bands first official, physical release, Lightning On the Strings Thunder On The Mic. Its second track Im Gonna Put You Down became a beloved fan-favorite and would be broadcast by the History Channel to promote the show Appalachian Outlaws.
For the 2012 album Rappalchia, Rench brought along an impressive cast of MCs to the table. Those MCs included Kool Keith, Dead Prez, R-SON The Voice of Reason, and Dolio The Sleuth the latter two would make names for themselves as the two MCs of the Gangstagrass touring lineup. Like Lightning, Rappalachia would receive nearly unanimous critical acclaim, and included tracks that appeared on Justified, Buckwild, and Bones.
Gangstagrass has been touring nationally and earning rave reviews of their incendiary live performances at everything from major festivals to highway rest stops. Expect the influence and stature of these pioneers of a new American sound to continue growing.
