More Than Music 

The curious subgenre of "hick-hop" or "redneck rap" has been around for a while now, pioneered by artists like Bubba Sparxxx, Cowboy Troy, and Everlast, who ditched his original style for a more countrified folk take. In recent years hick-hop has exploded with popularity, with rappers and country singers collaborating more than ever and new acts like Big Smo and Colt Ford topping the charts. Redneck Souljers (Fatt Tarr & C-Hubb) are next up to bat, fusing contemporary rap styling (skittering 808 drums, chanted choruses and Auto-Tune) with guitars, banjos, fiddles and rhymes about farming, fishing, hunting, truck driving, and hard drinking. For a group that began with 'country rap parodies' (country-themed remixes of popular rap songs), it has surpassed its purely humorous beginnings with catchy production, strong songwriting, and well-produced music videos to create truly compelling content.
