Gangstagrass album for download
May 16th 2008 06:58
"Mashup artist Rench has released a free album of "gangstagrass" music -- hiphop mashed with bluegrass. The mixes are really good, in that, "Hey, who knew those two really different flavors worked so well together?" way that makes mashups so much fun to listen to."
Boingboing is a known lovin' spoonful of the mashup scene, but I have been disappointed by their picks in the past. The idea of hip hop-bluegrass seems to make so much sense, even without listening to it.
I'm downloading it right now. You'll have to wait for my expert opinion.
...but the liner notes are compelling enough!
"calling on the spirit of Gram Parsons and Otis Redding and KRS-ONE and Dolly Parton and Nina Simone and Willie Nelson and Missy Elliott and Johnny Cash, to write about what we feel and play what our hearts tell us, because to make it happen is reason enough, and to share it with the world is all the reason you need, because we tell the truth with music and the truth is beautiful."
