81355

81355 (pronounced "Bless") is a hip hop supergroup from Indianapolis, Indiana, formed in 2021. The trio consists of local hip-hop veterans Oreo Jones, Sirius Blvck, and Sedcairn Archives, who had collaborated on smaller projects before coming together to create a full album. Their debut release, *This Time I'll Be of Use*, came out in 2021 on the label 37d03d, founded by Justin Vernon and the Dessner brothers, and it received widespread critical acclaim. The group’s music reflects thoughtful lyrics and a blend of their individual creative styles, shaped during the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic.

In 2025, 81355 released their sophomore album *Bad Dogs* through Joyful Noise Recordings, showcasing a more personal approach to their lyrics, focusing on their hometown of Indianapolis (affectionately called "Naptown"). This record was created as a collective effort with additional musicians, expanding their sound and vibe. Known for their authentic DIY roots and strong local connections, 81355 represents a fresh and dynamic voice in contemporary hip hop from the Midwest.
