La Coka Nostra is a gritty American hip-hop supergroup formed in the mid-2000s by members of House of Pain—Danny Boy and DJ Lethal—alongside Ill Bill, Slaine, and others from the underground rap scene. Known for their raw, aggressive sound and politically charged lyrics, the group blends hardcore hip-hop with streetwise storytelling and dark, cinematic production. Their debut album A Brand You Can Trust (2009) featured collaborations with artists like Snoop Dogg and Immortal Technique, earning cult status for its unapologetic tone. Follow-ups like Masters of the Dark Arts and To Thine Own Self Be True pushed deeper into themes of corruption, addiction, and rebellion, cementing their rep as torchbearers of uncompromising, underground rap.
