  Lord T and Eloise - Coup D'etat
Download   |  
Currently based out of the crunk Capitol of the South - Memphis, TN - Lord T and Eloise have fashioned a genre of music they call Aristocrunk. Having recently collaborated with Crunk Legend Al Kapone(of Hustle & Flow) as well as playing shows with The Ying Yang Twins, Pastor Troy, Killer Mike, Bonecrusher, Mickey Avalon and Dirt Nasty, Lord T and Eloise are a blend of old school hip hop, new school party rap, and contemporary Southern Crunk. Lyrically, the group has been heralded by Vh1's Best Week Ever, Blender Magazine and Radar Magazine for its social commentary and biting satire.

“You should download a few ditties from the dandies, Lord T & Eloise, the world’s first purveyors of Aristocrunk.”
-VH1’s BEST WEEK EVER
