Gangstagrass

May 12th 2008 in Americana, alt.country

When It comes to music I am not purist, and unless your advocating musical purity you better be talking about music created by banging on logs in a forest or your idea of musical purity is warped. The fine folks at Ninebullets.net came across a Rench genre mash-up of “Underground hip-hop vocals with Rench beats and tons of uncleared samples from early bluegrass, folk ballads, and blues as well as some modern bluegrass as well.”

The samples offered sound surprisingly good for being so opposite on the musical culture spectrum.
