#1 Billboard-charting Gangstagrass — the heartwarming fusion of banjo, fiddle, dope beats, and deep lyrics — brings everybody together with a high-energy all-ages show you’ll never forget, lifting spirits and spreading the message: “We all do better when we all do better!”

Gangstagrass’s latest album, The Blackest Thing on the Menu, debuted at #1 on the Billboard Bluegrass chart—the very same week the Recording Academy put the album up for consideration in the Best Rap Album category, making it the only album ever to hold both honors. As the pioneers who made history as the first band to bring real hip-hop MCs to the #1 spot on the Bluegrass chart with their 2020 album No Time for Enemies, Gangstagrass is well-acquainted with challenging norms. Their groundbreaking work led to them receiving UNESCO’s “International Innovator” award, and a Primetime Emmy nomination in the “Outstanding Original Main Title Theme Music” category for creating the hit track “Long Hard Times to Come” that served as the opening theme song for every episode of the hit FX show Justified. The group also gained recognition on America’s Got Talent in the iconic 2021 season—with judge Howie Mandel praising Gangstagrass as “the recipe that America has been looking for until now”—ultimately reaching the quarter-finals. Their educational programs and the vast diversity of people in their live audiences all dancing together garnered Gangstagrass a full-page write-up in The New York Times under the headline “This Is the Music America Needs.” There is no band like Gangstagrass.
