Press

“ Infusing hip-hop with live instrumentation à la The Roots, a positive message reminiscent of De La Soul and the unique dynamic of a human beat box, Inflowential has established itself as one of the Triangle’s premiere live hip-hop groups. ”

— Jake Seaton, NBC17 MyNC.com

“Inflowential slides comfortably across genre labels, using their live instruments and jazzy undertones to create tracks with an energy and power that feels fresh. A group with great promise...”

— Aylin Zafar, Urb Magazine

“Inflowential successfully mixes blues, rock, hip-hop, and reggae to create music with broad appeal. It's kinetic live show has been a draw for fans.”

— David Menconi, The Raleigh News & Observer

“ Inflowential definitely brings clarity back to hip-hop through their sound and message, and college campuses are eating it up, marking a very promising beginning.”

— Boyuan Gao, Beyond Race Magazine

“The group’s MCs add another dynamic layer. The lyricism is crisp, the verses well annunciated and the messages evoke honesyy. “Caged Bird” is a perfect example of the flawless synthesis of these various instrumental and vocal elements. ”

— -Boyuan Gao, Beyond Race Magazine

"Their live show is not one to miss, as you can't get a glimpse of how impressive the group is by solely listening to the recordings. Their command on an audience was particularly impressive on "We Get Down".

— It's the Money Shot Blog

“Inflowential exhibits the hallmarks of the best acts on the college music scene - originality, creativity and eclecticism. Jason Rzepka, mtvU's director of communications”

— Jason Rzepka, mtvU Director of Communications

“An eclectic hip-hop crew comprised solely of current and former NC State students is on the cusp of stardom after being named a finalist in mtvU's Campus Invasion '08 competition.”

— Dave Pond, NCSU.edu

“Last night was my first time seeing Raleigh, North Carolina’s Inflowential, and I had only heard good things about these guys, who turned out to be the most unique band I have ever heard or seen”

— Ryankawamoto, MTV News

"Truly dope tracks! A lot of music flows through our offices, but it's rare that we come across a beatboxer or group that everyone loves, let alone a group with a beatboxer that everyone loves!"

— IBA, International Beatbox Association

“Undoubtedly one of the best live performers in the state is the group out of Raleigh, Inflowential. A six-piece hip-hop "band" that entrusts two emcees (Tab-One, Charlie Smarts), a bassist (Bender), a vocal-percussionist (A-did), a guitar/keyboardist (Kyle Phelps) ”

— Fuzz Jackson & Butter Squared, The Village Idiot Magazine

“Featuring two lyrically adept MCs and a “vocal percussionist” (A-did) who I promise will blow your mind, these guys recall the so-called “intelligent” hip-hop of acts like The Roots and Tribe Called Quest.”

— John Staton, The Wilmington Star

“The main act was Raleigh-Durham hip hop group Inflowential. Their unique style is sure to land them recognition as one of NC's hottest hip hop acts today.”

— Paul McGregor, The A&T Register

“ Inflowential will be a household name in a few years. If the Inflow EP is any indication on Inflowential's potential, then we are all in for a treat. They've got the makings and inner workings of a platiunum selling artist.”

— Mattias, Band of the Day

“Guaranteed to offer insight while supplying a beat to match, Inflowential is one of North Carolina’s greatest contributors to its growing underground hip-hop scene.”

— Adrian Varnam, Encore
