Yes, Virginians rap. Normally we're a state known for our folk, pop and bluegrass, but sometimes you get a couple boys together and they flow out rhymes like they were born to do it. This applies to Virginian quartet The Five One, who's latest single "Monsters Mutants Vampires" lets their slightly disorganized song formula give each member a chance to shine, outside of the guitarist who just wiggles his guitar pedal throughout to give the track a little more funk. Stream the track above, plus watch their video for the track where a sorority sleep-over ends in murder!
