Discover Gangstagrass: The Emmy-Nominated Band Blending Bluegrass and Hip-Hop

Gangstagrass, formed in 2006, gained widespread attention when their song "Long Hard Times to Come" became the theme for the hit show Justified, earning an Emmy nomination. Known for blending bluegrass and hip-hop, the band has topped the Billboard bluegrass charts, a groundbreaking achievement for an album featuring hip-hop MCs. Their fifth studio album, No Time For Enemies, released in 2020, was largely recorded during the COVID-19 lockdown and hit #1 on the bluegrass charts. In 2021, they became quarter-finalists on America's Got Talent, further solidifying their unique impact on American music.

About your hosts

CJ Loiodice

Profile picture for CJ Loiodice
CJ is a bit long winded, so we decided to write the bio for him. He works in education, but is a classically trained operatic/classical singer who knows his theory...most days. CJ plays all saxophones, and pretends to play the piano. He is an audio engineer who works on both independent and short films. Music is his first love. “Music is all around us, even in silence.” - CJ (yes, we quoted him)

Kyle Mazur

A skilled audio engineer and arranger Kyle has written and arranged pieces for church choirs and arranged, performed and recorded full orchestrations of hymns for churches of all denominations.
