7.23.2018
Critical Praise
“With short, uneven phrases and a rise-and-fall style that approximates the patterns of speech, [BandGang Lonnie Bands] seems intent on developing a fresh approach that is as mesmerizing as it is unpredictable.” – Complex
“BandGang is on fire in Detroit right now” – XXL
The Single:
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 reveal their goals, tribulations, and ambitions through harrowing street stories. Featuring a gritty verse from Sacramento emcee Mozzy, “My N*ggaz” showcases BandGang’s versatility and their unique approaches to attacking an instrumental. Premiered by PUB, “My N*ggaz” 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 cult 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.
