Founded in 2006, Gangstagrass blends hip hop and bluegrass to create a unique sound that attracts fans of rock, country, and rap alike. Defying conventions of both genres, Gangstagrass takes traditionally conservative banjo melodies and combines them with fresh lyrics about race, money, and politics to share the stories of modern America. As the late Elmore Leonard put it “Rench and his friends have done nothing short of creating a new form of music.”
