c'est quand tu ecoute ce genre de musique que tu as envie d’être heureux de vivre. Une bouffée de bonheur

Pour les avoir vu en concert, ils sont géniaux, ils mettent de l'ambiance tout le monde danse et c'est joyeux. J'adore les musiques qui mixent plusieurs "style" de musique, et la mélanger du Hip Hop avec du Jazz (d'où les cuivres) c'est plutot original. D'ailleurs les musiciens sont particulierement doués.

Excelent. Je l'ai est vu en concert a Skabazac jamais vu quelqu'un communiquer autant avec le public. On les sentait dans leur elément. Juste enorme. Un des seul groupe de hiphop francais qui tient la route en ce moment

Cette chanson me fait sourire tout seul, alors que j'ai aucune raison particulière de sourire, c'est vraiment énorme. Hocus Pocus c'est du Hip-Hop, chose que je ne pensais jamais aimer, mais ils sont tellement différents de ce que je j'avais comme préjugé / déjà entendu sur le Hip-Hop... Faut passer cette chanson dans le métro !
