Having first introduced themselves to us outside the Nike 1948 store in Shoreditch with a highly informative and in-depth explanation of their collective moniker, Piff Gang, the ten-strong crew of emcees, producers and DJs based in London are a new wave of hip hop and rap pioneers in the UK. Contrary to your standard gangsta rap, their niche style and philosophy focuses around all-round positive vibes and getting wavey with their piffers and piffettes.

A few crew members have had some questionable hairstyles in their younger days, no names mentioned

Playing at nights like Seb Chew's YOYO, 'Living Proof', and supporting Pittsburgh's Mac Miller, the gang have already founded a fanbase via their previous mixtapes including 'Piff Breaks & 808's', and 'Mary Piffmas', featuring tonnes of new tracks. Besides these available on their youtube channel including 'Little Mexico' and 'Bow Down', Piff Gang have also made Dazed an exclusive mix which you can download HERE.
