It would be an understatement to call the Sol.Illaquists of Sound a mere Hip-Hop Band. Their message and ambitious fusion of varied stylistic genres continue to reinvent the perceptions and experience of music as a whole. The group consists of four dynamic individuals: Swamburger, Alexandrah, Tonya Combs, and DiViNCi. As they are each talented, focused and motivated enough to hold their own, they prove to be an undeniably ruthless force when working together. Backed by a powerful message of self-awareness, the Sol.Illaquists combine rapid-fire lyricism, jazz-tinged vocals, insightful poetry, and innovative live electronic performance. It's not a rare occurrence for members of the audience, as well as the band, to be brought to tears by the level of truth and energy put forth in any of Sol.Illaquists' performances.

Having released two successful LPs and countless solo projects, the Sol.Illaquists are hard at work on two new albums as well as Swamburger's second solo effort to be released worldwide under Eighth Dimension Records later this year. Having toured with the likes of Dwele and Scratch from The Roots, the Sol.Illaquists are embracing the experience to expand their audience and add to the list of artists that they have opened for. With their recent exposure to a welcoming Orlando audience, even Orlando Weekly had something to say about the group, The combination of DiViNCi's over-the-top sampler attack, Alexandrah's cool vocalese and Swamburger's rat-a-tat-tat mind-rhymes means that the group's sound is well removed from rap formalism. Soul, groove, electro and a touch of conscious hip hop globalism all come into play, resulting in a sound that's totally unique.
