Pioneering a kinetic new style that inspired a new Detroit rap renaissance, BandGang run heavy in their hometown streets.
Paying tribute to dead and incarcerated friends and family, BandGang shares “My N*ggaz,” a poignant new slapper. Running roughshod over a swirling, piano-led instrumental, BandGang Lonnie Bands, BandGang Paid Will, and BandGang Masoe reveals their goals, tribulations, and ambitions through harrowing street stories.
Featuring a gritty verse from Sacramento emcee Mozzy, “My Nggaz” showcases BandGang’s versatility and their unique approaches to attacking an instrumental. Premiered by PUB, “My Nggaz” is the latest single from In Too Deep, BandGang’s upcoming mixtape, following “Ain’t No Problem,” which featured Northern California stalwarts SOB x RBE and garnered a premiere from HYPEBEAST.
merging in the mid-2010s, BandGang pioneered the distinct style powering the burgeoning Detroit rap scene, marked by flows that fall slightly ahead of the uptempo beat, menacing piano arpeggios, and hard-hitting, reality-based lyrics. Though they have not yet developed the national profile of many of their contemporaries, BandGang’s sound has been a huge influence on rappers like Tee Grizzley, Sada Baby, and FMB DZ.
A 30-track epic that builds on momentum from a number of cults hit YouTube videos, which earned the group the title of “YouTube Kings,” In Too Deep a treatise on street maximalism and a tribute to the charismatic power behind the new Detroit sound. Featuring appearances from SOB x RBE, Mozzy, Philthy Rich, Drego, and more, In Too Deep releases on August 3rd.
