Biography
THE LAST HOPE is a hip-hop trio based in Madison, WI, and made up of a pair of dope MC's and an equally as amazing DJ, that have rocked venues around the state since 2006. The group has performed at such places as: The Annex, High Noon Saloon, The Brink Lounge, King Club, The Frequency, BaDa Bingz and The Stones Throw... just to name a few. And have performed alongside acts like Hanger 18, Glue, Paulie Rhyme, The Crest, Eyedea and Abilities and Clyde Stubblefield.
The independently released, THE LASTHOPE ALBUM in 2007, was short in print but high in quality and was nominated for "Best Hip Hop Album" at the Madison Area Music Awards! In an ever growing and changing music community, The Last Hope stands as a sonic solution for the weary eared listener. With a combination of soul inspired melodies, rock driven riffs, and banging bass drums combining to form a solid foundation of hip hop for those tired of the same old sounds and artists. The Last Hope challenges the masses with their intelligent lyrical abilities, while pushing the envelope of performance with their stage presence and positive energy. This, coupled with the trio's driven mentality to succeed in not only pushing the limits of their music, but also providing the community with stable role models in the hip hop community, makes it safe to say that this trio will be a constant draw in the Madison music scene, as well as bursting into the spotlight on an international level for years to come.

Setlist
We generally perform for 20-60 minutes depending on rate and can provide DJ services for additional time/cost. Commonly, events are booked for the entire evening, us providing supporting talent, a host, and DJ. However, opening and supporting gigs are also of interest. All music performed is original and written by the performing artists. Set list and music is controlled by the DJ when applicable or a CD will be used in cases when a DJ is not present.
