LOOPRAT is a ten piece Jazz/Hip Hop collective consisting of four MCs and six instrumentalists (drums, bass, guitar, keys, alto sax, trumpet). Formed in late 2013, LOOPRAT quickly began sharing the stage with some of St. Louis' key hip hop performers such as Black Spade, Tef Poe and MME. Over the past two years LOOPRAT has also shared bills with artists including Slum Village, Black Milk, Talib Kweli, Prof, Saba, ProbCause, Chip the Ripper (King Chip), The Palmer Squares, ShowYouSuck, Barrel Maker, and Sidewalk Chalk.
