Jawga Boyz Discography of CDs

Jawga Boyz CD discography The Jawga Boyz are a collection of good ole boys led by lead vocalist D. Thrash. They have been doing the whole country rap thing LONG before it was cool. You could say they started this whole movement but havn't been getting the credit. They have underground CD's dating back to 2001 talking about being country and growing up in the woods. Many of todays country rappers, doing Hick Hop probably won't admit it, but the Jawga Boyz have helped pave the way for this new style to finally be accepted. Regardless, many can try to go the same route, but none can do it with the same style as the Jawga Boyz! Folks who think Kid Rock has gone too commercial and that the big country and rap stars who have done country-rap tracks haven't built any true momentum for the hybrid genre should love these Jawga Boyz, whose 17-track trip to the Kuntry is all at once hilarious, engaging, infectious, twangy, and soulful. As it rolls long from the funky, harmonica-laced front porch lament "Dirty for Weeks" through the hypnotic street vibe of "Buckle Up or Bow Down," the listener gets the sense of being in a car overheating and conking out in some hick town between Memphis and Nashville. Led by lead vocalist/rapper D. Thrash, the group has been dreaming of the city while coming up in the woods, doing underground projects since the early 2000s. Highlights of this glorious "hick-hop" explosion include the infectious synth and beat-driven "Rollin' Like a Redneck" (which happens when country boys talk badass about their white trash life), the twangy acoustic guitar strum-filled autobiographical pop tune "Far from Over," and the lushly produced, bragging swagger of "Ridin' High." They also use tropical synth touches for a spirited, grooving "Trip 2 Mexico." These Boyz are talented musicians, rhymers, and producers -- with tongue firmly planted in cheek as they talk about their hood, which no doubt includes some run-down double wides. ~ Jonathan Widran Personnel: D. Thrash (vocals); Cornbreak (background vocals).

Jawga Boyz albums They Country!NAW, They KUNTRY!! Beer Drinking, Hell Raising, Gravel Slinging Good Time is what you can expect at a Jawga Boyz show. These Athens, GA boyz celebrate the redneck way of life through their dirty south beats and country twang style that puts the redneck rappers in a league of their own. The group originally formed in 2003, but the new Jawga Boyz 2. 0 consist of founding member Derek Thrasher (D Thrash), Justin Young (Young Gunner), A.J. McIntyre (BoonDock), and Mark Bryant (CornBread). "We were influenced by the trailblazers of southern rap like Rehab, Outkast, and Bubba Sparxxx. Man, I remember when Bubba Sparxxx (also an Athen's native) came out and everyone was blown away by his originality and style and I thought to myself I could do that," says D Thrash. The guys also give props to the mega-stars of 90's country including Garth Brooks and Clint Black for giving them the downhome inspiration to incorporate a sense of Southern pride in their music. The Jawga Boyz are now a Youtube phenomenon with over 6 million views on their Jawgaboyz channel with videos for "Rollin Like a Redneck," "MudJug (Dip In My ...
