Career
These group of Emcees worked independently at first, by releasing tracks, videos, mixtapes and projects individually, including White Buff Boyz, Grind Season 2, and The Family, all released in a very productive 2014. They continued the next year with more mixtapes of their increasingly raw gangster rap-informed sounds, releasing Young Kings and WDW, among others. The ensuing years saw almost every member of the group strike out solo, with many members releasing their own album-length mixtapes. [2] They collaborated with Detroit rapper Tee Grizzley on the 2016 single "Straight to It." 2017 brought the collaborative EP, The Appetizer, with Trauma Tone.
In 2018, they released their first studio work together titled "In Too Deep" which consist of 30 tracks.
In Too Deep is a treatise on street maximalism and the charismatic power behind the new Detroit sound.
Bringing a fiery, kinetic energy and gritty realism to uptempo instrumentals, the six emcees who make up BandGang helped start a revolution in Detroit Hip hop. The culmination of years of grinding and millions of YouTube views, BandGang showcases the full extent of their talents on In Too Deep. Distributed by EMPIRE and premiered by The Fader, In Too Deep is home to several recently released singles, including the BandGang Lonnie Bands star turn “Narcotics 2,” the ferocious, HYPEBEAST-premiered “Ain’t No Problem,” and the bombastically poignant “My N*ggaz.” Featuring appearances from SOB x RBE, Mozzy, Philthy Rich, Drego, and more.[3]
