Los Angeles rap duo
BlueBucksClan use minimal, hard-edged beats to make lots of space for their uncompromising lyrics about money, power, and excess. The group went quickly from self-releasing mixtapes to collaborating with
Quavo and
Lil Yachty on their 2021 project Clan Virus 2. Their output continued with the 2022 EP See the Difference.
BlueBucksClan was formed in 2019 by childhood friends DJ and
Jeeezy. Both had grown up in South Los Angeles and met while in high school before going to college together on football scholarships. After college, they worked 9-to-5 jobs for a while before deciding to make music a full-time venture and released their 2019 debut mixtape, Clan Way. From there, the rappers produced music nonstop, releasing mixtapes like No Rules, Clan Way 2, Going Up, Clan Virus, and
No Rules 2 at a steady clip. By the March 2021 release of the mixtape Clan Virus 2,
BlueBucksClan had signed on with Universal Music Group sublabel Out the Blue Records. Clan Virus 2 featured guest spots from Out the Blue labelmate
Bino Rideaux as well as contributions from
Quavo,
Hit-Boy,
Cash Kidd, and
Lil Yachty. The four-song EP See the Difference appeared in 2022. ~ Fred Thomas
