Long Beach, California is where the rap outfit Horseshoe G.A.N.G. calls home. They have been delivering albums and mixtapes for a little over a decade now. To be exact, things got going for them in 2009 with their Circle of Bosses project. These guys thrive in the underground scene and are known for their fun lyrical abilities.

A couple of years ago Horseshoe G.A.N.G came out with an Eminem-inspired album, SHADY PAST. It made its way onto Apple Music in 2021 and if you listen to the songs you will notice something. A lot of the titles are reminiscent of Slim Shady's most iconic tracks. However, that is not the only similar aspect of it.
