Weird Genre Wednesday is the plan today. I know, I know, you're saying "genre, that doesn't even exist anymore", and I agree. There is so much fusion of music now that genre as a concept doesn't really exist. There are still musicians who are coining phrases to quantify their music, many times as a joke of some kind. That being said, these might be better termed obscure genres, genre-bending, or genre-blending. Regardless we've got everything from Witch House to Space Western and a little bit of Rappalachia (that one I made up myself). Hopefully your ears are happy with this playlist. Enjoy!

Be sure to head over to Magnet and dabble in the mix tape Gangstagrass frontman, Rench put together! This playlist includes a diverse grouping of artists, including Mos Def, Hank Williams, and Portishead.

Despite living in a world where new genres of music are being invented seemingly every day, Brooklyn-based project Gangstagrass still managed to come out of left field. The band takes opposite ends of the musical spectrum, hip hop and bluegrass, and combines them to create something that is, against all odds, completely new and insanely ear-friendly. You can hear it for yourself when the cleverly titled Rappalachia comes out June 5. The mix tape band founder Rench made for us below is made up of a very diverse collection of artists. We can’t say we’re surprised.

Head over to Magnet to nab yourself a free mp3 download for the Gangstagrass song "Western"!

What do you get when you mix bluegrass with rap? Gangstagrass. You may have heard some of the band’s material on FX series Justified, which received an Emmy nomination for outstanding original main title theme music. Gangstagrass’ eclectic mix of low-down to down-low beats destroys other genres in their path. Joining Gangstagrass on new track “Western” is Kool Keith, who brings conscious rhymes, wit and humor to the track. Download “Western” below.
