During a recording of a hip-hop band in multi-tracking class, Tom, a devoted guitarist, leaned over and said to Larry, "I can do that, but better." Larry agreed. That comment alone sparked the fire in these talented musicians who are now known as Illphonics. The band has a unique and exclusive sound influenced by an eclectic range of artists varying from Pink Floyd to Ludacris and from The Weather Report to Albert King. The Illphonics have a new and diverse hip-hop sound that is unlike any other. Combine Oukast, Organized Noize, and the Roots, add a rhymester with the lyrical rawness of Scarface and the dynamic delivery of Black Thought, and you would be well on your way to creating a blueprint for the band.
