In 2019, BandGang Lonnie Bands released his album KOD a 21-song epic told from the perspective of a sedated Lonnie Bands as he rushes through days filled with drug dealing, pimping, and scamming—where other rappers flex their cars and jewels. Lonnie brags about his credit cards. There’s a steady tension throughout the project set by the manic energy of the piano melodies and the Lonnie Bands storytelling that could double as a Harmony Korine script.

The video for his song "Whatever I Say" has over 400,000 views on YouTube.

BandGang is a rap collective located in Detroit and was established in 2008. The group is made up of six emcees: Paid Will, BandGang Masoe, Lonnie Bands, AJ, Javar, and Biggs.

They all worked independently at first, self-releasing tracks, videos, and mixtapes, 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.

They also collaborated with Detroit rapper Tee Grizzley on the 2016 single "Straight to It." 2017 brought the collaborative EP, The Appetizer, with Trauma Tone, followed a year later by BandGang's lengthy, 30-track full-length In Too Deep.^[2]
