NiGE HOOD & The Folk Rap Band is a hip-hop fusion group inspired by the music of rapper and frontman, NiGE HOOD, a performer-songwriter originally from Charlotte, NC. His self-developed style Folk Rap is an alternative mix of Hip Hop, Blues Rock and Soul Funk. NiGE HOOD brings a three-piece Folk Rap Band for his live shows, culminating in a style that blends more mainstream hip-hop traditions with folk rock and pop sounds. The charismatic frontman belts out smooth melodies “with a flare of funk and eloquent, tightly-spouted verses” (Triad City Beat). NiGE HOOD’s recent release “WEIRD + AWESOME EP” is available on all streaming platforms.
