The H&T (Heroes and Terrorists)

Each member of the H&T has their own unique style and set of strengths. Have you encountered any challenges throughout the creative process and if so – what where they and how did you manage to overcome them?

H&T: “That’s the beauty of it as previously stated were family if one of us or all of us are suffering from writers block or lack of inspiration we sit together or email music, beats, songs and just vibe out and clear everything going on and refocus then write and come up with new music. We always look at our music and performances like the best amusement park in the world you never been to… you have so many rides one is fast, one loops around, one has waterfalls, and one is scary. With there being 7 of us with different sounds it meets well and keeps the audience on their toes always thinking what’s next. People never know what to expect they just know it’s going to be a great ride. We want them to smile, slow rock, jump in the air, scream, dance, then put their hands up all in one sitting and genuinely just effect people they feel more excited and enjoy us while were enjoying them and capturing their hearts.”

There are 7 Wanders of the World, and 7 members in The H&T. Coincidence? Probally. But Just when hip hop seemed to be ready to fall off the edge and sink to the dark side for good, this magical combination of the members of the H&T offer up a full plate of creative storytelling and illustrative wordplay that gives us all hope that the future of hip hop is alive and waiting right here in Pittsburgh. Enjoy your summer. The summer that we may very well remembered as The Summer of The H&T. - Urban Media Today
