"It's socially conscious, positive hip hop with MCs rapping over a live band with an indie-rock tilt... and you'll still hit the streets with a grin afterwards."

"From the chikka-chikka on Aaron Davis’ guitar to Tip Crowley’s bass thump, HipHopotamus knows how to make the audience shake it."
JENNIFER CHANCELLOR

No pre programmed beats. No playing music off a CD for live shows. No bullshit. No Gimmicks. Just pure, true, uncorrupted, REAL music. A sound like you've never heard before.
Hiphopotamus is a social conscious, positive band that mixes hip hop with a live band. It is a perfect mixture of rap with live instruments and a turntablist. Old School, new school, trip hop, underground, rock, jazz, funk; we are influenced by everything and refuse to fall into one sound.
Featuring the long time rhythm section of Kevin Lantz and Tip Toasty from the band Goodbye Mind, the poetic rhymes and flowing style of Raymond Conde, The guitar of Aaron Davis, and the hypnotic scratches and samples from DJ Steve, host of 91.3 FM's Saturday Night Trip.
