Influences: Musically speaking - Bob Marley, Nas, Mos & Kweli (esp. as Black Star), George Harrison, DJ Premier, Pete Rock & CL Smooth, Amanda Diva (you may not have heard of her but she's going to save this culture that we call hip hop)Business - Shawn Carter, Lupe FiascoLife - Brother El-Hajj Malik Shabazz, Imam Siraj Wahhaj, Tupac Amaru Shakur, Huey P. NewtonThere is no way for me to list everyone who has influenced me, but I hope that the above sheds light on my major influences. Almost everyone above is connected to hip hop in some way, so I suppose that says something in and of itself.
Sounds Like: We sound like people who love what it is that we do. Scholars Ink is very different from anything you've heard before - at least, any combination that you've heard before. We combine elements of music from all around the world to form some very unique soul music and hip hop.
