downset.

Downset is an American rapcore band formed in 1989. Originating from the United States, the group helped define the rapcore genre by blending hip-hop vocal styles with heavy metal instrumentation. Active since their formation in the late 1980s, Downset became part of the broader movement that merged rap and rock elements during a period when such fusion was gaining mainstream attention. The band's approach to combining aggressive guitar work with rap-influenced vocals established them as notable contributors to the rapcore sound that emerged and evolved throughout the 1990s and beyond.
