Your Grandparents make music that reaches to the nostalgia of previous decades. The Los Angeles born and raised trio, composed of producer ghettoblasterman and vocalists DaCosta and Jean Carter, isnât cemented to just one genre, either.
The friends founded Your Grandparents, using the moniker as a nod to the elders who introduced them to classic artists and inspired their musical tastes, in 2014. Originally, the trio released primarily rap music, but their work quickly grew to incorporate the various genres that have inspired their collective musicianship. When asked about the albums that have inspired them lately, the men rattle off a variety of projects including DâAngeloâs âVoodooâ, Erykah Baduâs âBaduizmâ, The Fugeesâ âThe Scoreâ and Pink Floydâs âThe Dark Side of the Moonâ. Today, Your Grandparents release music that nods to funk, soul, hip-hop, rock, blues and other genres with an emphasis on introspection.
