The band sees themselves as representatives of the people, embracing the diversity that exists within humanity and using their music as a catalyst for unity.
“savvy amalgamation of hip-hop and heavy alt-rock.” - Consequence
“The band's rap-rock hybrids owe much to the turn-of-the-millennium period when rapped lyrics, arena-ready hooks and ferocious beats were fast friends, with the addition of elements borrowed from contemporary trap and electronic music.” - Washington Post
“Oxymorrons continue to be unstoppable.” - AfroPunk
