Race Card is a four-piece band out of Southern California, delivering a unique concoction of genre-pushing Hip Hop and Rock music. Drawing influence from each member’s diverse musical backgrounds, their inspiration runs the gamut from Public Enemy, to Living Colour, Rage Against The Machine, Deftones and The Dave Matthews Band – an eclectic mix that significantly contributes to their unique sound and vibe. The band was conceived in 2004 by rapper Tahir Jahi and guitarist-singer Damian Hagger, evolving out of their respective solo projects. Blending riff-oriented Rock and Pop hooks with intense Hip Hop/Rap lyrics and subject matter, the result is unlike anything currently in play today. Tahir is a powerful storyteller who is not shy to approach any subject with his poignant and authentic point of view, defining Race Card’s message as heavy on political and social commentary, and light on superficial BS.
