ABOUT: Bringing Down The Band is a hip hop and music media lifestyle brand. We shared over 12,000 blog posts of music between 2009-2018, but because few consume music that way anymore, we now upload full-length album streams and songs/videos to our YouTube channel. This allows us to continually build a strong musical foundation and community while also helping the artists you love monetize their work. You can support by subscribing and turning on notifications.
