Brooklyn-based group THE RUFF PACK (TRP) blends together the improvisational nature and compositional complexity of Jazz with the rustic groove and frenetic energy of Hip-Hop.TRP visualizes instrumental Hip-Hop through live instrumentation. Founded and co-lead by Stephan Kondert (SK Invitational, M.O.P.) and Matthias ‘Pedals’ Loescher (Lauryn Hill, Nas), TRP also features veteran drummer Charles Haynes (Queen Latifah, Keyon Harrold) on the kit.
