Shoe-icideHipHopDX

Long Beach crew Horseshoe Gang released their album “Anti-Trap Music” on April 29th, and within a week it entered the top 50 of iTunes’ charts in 15 countries.

From it was the single “Shoe-icide Squad”, the group’s savage verbal attack on police brutality against the black community, delivered with a ferocity that drew many to compare it to NWA’s “F*ck The Police”. The appropriately raucous beat is courtesy of Danish production duo Tabu (Kendrick Lamar, Schoolboy Q, Tech N9ne)

With the recent events in Minnesota, Louisiana, Florida and now Canada taking place in the midst of political upheaval, the west coast rappers have put their full weight behind the Black Lives Matter movement by releasing this new official video, premiered by HIPHOP DX

US online Da-What run a series “Five Finger Discount” where they ask artists to highlight five of their tracks or videos for special mention, the story behind them and why they currently have a specific relevance and importance to them.

In the latest edition just published, they spoke with Constant Deviants. The group will release a new concept album “Omerta” on June 28th, and reveal the linkage between the new album and last year’s “Avant Garde”, specifically the role their tour of Switzerland played in how they were devised.

ATM-SagiHipHop

West coast crew Horseshoe Gang released their new album “Anti-Trap Music” last Friday, April 29th, through Seven 13 Music & Entertainment.

Within the first hour of release, Amazon reported that they had sold out all CD stock…now replenished…and the album is a Top 50 seller on iTunes in 15 different countries. It’s a testament to the extent of the group’s international fanbase.

Among recent video and written reviews is this new one published today by French online Sagi Hip Hop

A 4 star review, a rough translation of their summary reads “No fillers, mammoth firecrackers, Horseshoe Gang keep the quality high and to the point over 11 tracks.” with extended sections of the article given over to the theme of the album title, specifically calling into question the lyrical content and influence that particular genre has on a younger generation. The album itself diversifies into a range of subject matter, real life issues, which in itself justifies the title.

READ SAGI’S FULL REVIEW HERE

HorseshoeGang

The four brothers Julius, Kenny, Dice and Demetrius aren’t sitting on their hands. They just had their album launch party in LA earlier in the week, are still conducting interviews with international media and making arrangements to shoot some new videos.

They are also in the early stages of organizing some tour dates while putting some studio time aside to record new material, quite possibly a new album for later in the year.

Standard work ethic from a group who previously released 12 monthly mixtapes – keep up to date with them on TWITTER and FACEBOOK
