There ain't no party like an Old School Party, and an Old School Party is what Motorskills is all about!! Our sound brings together generations of urban music and fuses it into what we like to call "Hip Hop Soul". Brooklyn Native M.C.Huggs fronts the band, delivering introspective poetry and power soul anthems. A full band backs him up with heavy funk grooves while maintaining a tightly refined pop sensibility.

We extract the DNA of Hip Hop and inject it into a live band to create a fresh new style. We take you back in time while sending you to the future!! Though its a musical paradox, its not challenging to the listener the way avant garde styles often are because the structure of our songs mantain a solid pop foundation.

The influences on this band are definitely a mixed bag. We really dig 90's era Hip hop like the The Roots, Tribe called Quest, Biggie Smalls, Dre and Snoop's G-funk sound and Rage against the Machine. But we equally dig artists like James Brown, Al Green, Aretha, the Meters, Parliament/Funkadelic, and Herbie Hancock-and it certainly comes through in the instrumentation Motorskills.
