190 Proof

Fusing the unlikely combination of Southern rap and Southern rock, the Lacs (short for Loud Ass Crackers), have created their own brand of hip-hop which they’ve affectionately dubbed “hick-hop.” Hailing from Baxley, Georgia, the duo of of rapper Clay “Uncle Snap” Sharpe and singer/guitarist Brian “Rooster” King have a sound that incorporates equal parts Bubba Sparxxx and ZZ Top, merging slinky Southern guitar riffs with booming beats and rhymes about life in the dirtiest parts of the Dirty South. The Lacs made their debut in 2011 with Country Boys Paradise, which featured appearances from Colt Ford, as well as the single “Kickin’ Up Mud.”
