Long Beach group Horseshoe Gang release their new album Anti Trap Music on 29th April through Seven 13 Music & Entertainment

The younger brothers of KXNG Crooked (aka Crooked I) and COB affiliates are among the most ruthless lyricists around. Quick-fire rhymes and on point wordplay have been their trademark since 2009 when they introduced their “Horseshoe Gang Weekly Series” followed by their debut album “Gangsta MC”.

A prolific release schedule culminated in the launch of their year long Monthly Mixtape series with DJ Far in 2014 and their 2015 EP “Knockin on Rap’s Door”.

Most recently they hit the headlines for their appearance on “Sway in the Morning” and for their rap battle with Funk Volume. They will be appearing at this year’s SXSW Festival.
