Ugly Duckling's members are Dizzy Dustin, Young Einstein and Andy Cooper. Their style is alternative hip hop, influenced especially by old school performers such as the Zulu Nation and the Native Tongues Posse. Most of their songs follow the creed that hip hop is about having fun and often mock the clichéd gangster rappers who dominate the mainstream. An example of this can be heard in the song "A Little Samba" and "Smack" in which they rap about the enormous wealth mainstream rappers brag about, and the ridiculous nature of their possessions, such as gold name plates on their cars, pet sharks and jetting off to Bermuda on private planes.
Being heavily influenced by old school hip hop, they conform to the original basics of rap music; turntablism and MCing. Their DJ, Young Einstein, forms the backbone of the group; he is renowned for performing very complex scratches both on the record and live, unlike in most modern rap where the DJ has been pushed to the back in order to emphasize the MC. He is also the owner of a famous 'Dookie Gold Chain' which is the subject of the groups song 'Eye On The Gold Chain' and is donned by Einstein during most live performances of the track. They are renowned for their live shows in which they perform various antics on stage and interact with the crowd getting them very hyped and affording them the reputation as brilliant live performers.
Their song Smack was featured on Tony Hawk's Project 8, In game and also as skater Paul Rodriguez Jr.'s Footage Soundtrack.
In 2012 group member Dizzy Dustin appeared on UK Hip Hop artist Ricta's debut album Snacks & Deception.

HOW TO RAP
Andy Cat and 100 other great rappers gave out their secrets in the HOW TO RAP book series. This is from book 2.
Andy Cat, Ugly Duckling
[Stuttering] seems to have worked in a lot of songs from many
different genres—[for example,] “Stuttering Blues” by John
Lee Hooker,” “My Generation” by the Who, and “You Ain’t
Seen Nothing Yet” by Bachman-Turner Overdrive.” I think
any decent songwriter and/or vocalist is always looking for
an interesting and impactful way to reach a listener. In my
opinion, it would be unwise to rely too much on these kinds
of things, but the stutter is certainly a tool to have in the belt.
Randolf Venderbildt
These guys are one of the greatest hip hop groups of all time. They deserved to be huge.
Rich Councill
Yes
Ziggy Pop
They put you in such a good mood,try to listen o them on monday morning..your day will definitely change in better

Truly one of the best hip-hop groups around. Einstein is always sick with the beats. Dustin and Andy are always fun and on point with the rhymes. And they're one of the best groups to see perform live! Stage show is off the hook. They keep it entertaining and fun. See them perform if you can. Truly one of the dopest groups around.
Brandon Steele
Ugly Duckling are truly masters of their craft.
