Band/artist history
GYP HOP represented a seminal moment in the Eastern European rap movement during the mid nineties. Whilst Biggie and Tupac were being martyred in America, members of Gyp Hop were creating classic gangster rap amongst what could have otherwise been labelled a bloodbath. Proclaimed by DJ Grechen as The group that killed their way to the top, Gyp Hop remained kings of the underground scene for several years, until the EP "Com Te Far Nu Pillbox Shle, Wan Te Blar Nu Baseball Ble" (Six Feet Tall With My Pillbox Hat, Ten Feet Tall With My Baseball Bat) hit the streets, and the groups notoriety spread to the mainstream. The single, "Gon Ku Bosh Ku" (Naked Or Dead) topped charts across much of Europe during 1992, when Gyp Hop reached their zenith. Descent from stardom was swift however, as gang related feuds developed within the group. This resulted in the deaths of Seti as a car bomb demolished the limousine he was travelling in after a solo performance, and DJ Grechen, in a presumed revenge killing, shot nine times in his private recording studio. The surviving members have gone into hiding, their whereabouts unknown.Contact
