The horn section evolves sensibly between solos and riffs while Percussionist JD rocks the steady beat on the congas.
Accessibly adding to the true hip hop form and bringing a legitimate sense of musicality, MC/Vocalist Awall fluidly doubles up on percussion and timbales to flawlessly contribute to the massive sound. Twylight MCs from his lyrical volumes with ease and control, and His comfort with the stage proves his music to be a lifestyle, not simply a front for performance.
The band's creative drive reflects in refreshing Leslie-styled chord tones and jazz progressions. 40 Watt Hype have become true innovators of the new hip-hop form with their music, lyrics and stage presence.
