Burghtown Music Group was errected in the early 2000's in an effort to make ill music. The same music that we grew up and loved listening to. Now we have the opportunity to share it with the world. Randy "Gift Money" Martin and Lavar "Prototype" Bradley are musical pioneers who hail from Pittsburgh, PA. As the frontmen of Burghtown, over the past decade, they have crafted music together independently. Burghtown encompasses various local artists who bring multiple talents to the table. Whether it be songwritting, engineering, recording, audio and visual production, the sound is always cutting edge. The basic sound of the group stems from music they grew up listening to in the mid 90's and also includes hints of jazz, funk and soul samples from artists before their time. With a little bit of west coast infused production and eastcoast influenced lyricism, comes an amalgamation of diverse but cohesive artwork. Nominated for more than 7 Pittsburgh Hip-Hop Awards, collaborations with an array of artists and contributions made towards the Pittsburgh Passion, Justice for Jordan Miles campaign and SW PA HIV/AIDS coalition, Burghtown is a conscious an ever expanding name on the internet and in the tri-state area.
