Hemp Gru

Hemp Gru (occasionally stylized as Hemp Gru) is a laid-back Polish hip-hop collective rooted in Warsaw's underground scene, active since the late '90s. Part of the Hemp Recordz family, a crew known for shaping Poland’s hip-hop culture, they mix boom-bap beats with gritty, reflective lyrics about city life and personal struggles. Members like Juras and Włodi bring a raw, conversational flow to tracks like *Tam gdzie Ty* and *Obudź się (Hemp Groove)*, blending streetwise storytelling with jazzy samples. Their recent instrumentals (*Eter*, *Klepsydra*) highlight their knack for crafting dusty, loop-driven grooves perfect for old-school heads. While they keep details low-key, their music—like the *Życie Warszawy 2* series—pays homage to their hometown’s rhythm and resilience.
