About Us
Motor City Bass is a five-piece hip-hop and bass music group hailing from Detroit, Michigan. Composed of three DJs, Locally Grown (illogical & .trumannolan) and Thane of Earth, as well as MCs Matt Ceezy and Nebr, The Tiger, each Motor City Bass set features a unique blend of original bass and rap music. Laced between glitch hop and dubstep selections from Thane and Locally Grown, fans get to hear two of the most exciting up-and-coming MCs in the city spit bars over beats from their label-mates, as well as friends such as Bleep Bloop, Bruiser Brigade, DMVU, NEWSENSEi, and leet. Each member of the group has spent the last 5+ years honing their craft and performance abilities, as well as releasing music on their eponymous independent label, positioning Motor City Bass as both a dance music and hip-hop act to be reckoned with.
Our debut performance as a group took place at The Pike Room in Pontiac 11/26/21, and sold 130 tickets at $20/ticket (competing against Zeds Dead and Soul Clap in Detroit the same evening).
