Slander, consisting of Derek Anderson and Scott Land, have been making waves since they burst onto the scene in 2013.

For anybody who’s been following this duo since the beginning, they know how much they’ve grown. The pair are considered creators of the genre “heaven-trap”, producing music that provides the bass and the feels.
