The group is often referred to as Asheru & Blue Black of the Unspoken Heard or simply Unspoken Heard. They began getting significant recognition in underground hip-hop around the turn of the millennium. Their sound is reminiscent of the New York "new school" sound of the early '90s, particularly that of the Native Tongues Posse.

Asheru's profile and popularity has increased due to his intro and outro theme music for the animated series, The Boondocks, on Cartoon Network.

[Hook]
Welcome... to the world we livin' in
You ain't been here before well come on in
You can thanks us... by making sure you come again
Now you're welcome... and next time bring a friend

... Louder... uh... get ready... Soon Come... (owww)

Workin' hard for you... yo

[Asheru]
It's about time but we here to take...over the planet
Don't try to understand it, man...the mid-atlantic
It's full of niggas like me, stepped on fo' too long
Rock from set of sun to the break of dawn

Should've known better, but no need for apology
There's a science to this, it's called Cosmology
This how we relate...from the music we make
To the actions we take...let ya side of fate

Trying my best to be...a better MCee, the best MCee I can be
But after you the way Smiley go...from a little while ago
I'm sure the rest of you can agree...that
Everyday's a Jamboree, where we jam for free

Every record brings you closer to our family
And our greatest common factor...besides the MUSIC!!!
Is our outlook on life and how we use it
The used get unexpectedly dropped

It's on you to choose...you can catch 'em or not
See this is hip-hop...which means we don't stop
Hold the live track runners, by weight...my planet rock

Whether dream or experience to drop a cd
That burns to the touch on all point like TV
See we...Think About...what we know
And transfer...that energy to every show

So, if there ever come a time...when Ashe run out of lines
Yo, I hand in my Dear You letter (Dear You) and resign
But don't hold ya breath 'cause man...we can't done
7 Heads, Unspoken Heard...we Soon Come...

[Asheru]
We Soon Come...(7 Heads, Unspoken Heard...we Soon Come...)
Yo, yo, it go...[uh - 12x with the beat]
Follow me...we say...

[Hook: x2]

Or you can even visit the headquarters in Brooklyn
And ask for my man Wes or James...is

Too many names for me to name
But you we gettin' down, it's all the same

It's, uh, Soon Come...so yo...you we ridin' with the drum
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh
