I saw this band recently in Springfield and they are without a doubt one of the better bands I have seen in quite some time. They get the crowds attention and don't let go untill the last note is played. |

Hip-Hop funk/jam style. Alternative Rap and Underground Hip-Hop. Very unique band. All original music. Funky and somewhat ambient sound that is created is fresh and entertaining.

And built around that base, you’ll hear layers of funk, reggae, rock, and jazz, written with both heart and precision"
