You guys are the best and I can't wait to get back to the city to enjoy the funk and excitement of your music and your shows. The crowd is so involved and the energy is always intense from start to finish. The conga player is great if I should say so myself (great job big bro :)

Urban Sun takes the cake. Keep it going.

This competition is not about what band smokes more weed, its about the individual bands and their music. Both of these bands are tremendously talented but Urban Suns ability to control a room and make sure that that guy sitting in the back is in the front dancing his shoes off and having the best time in the room by the end of the night is unmatched and if you ever get a chance to see them you will realize that, word play (realize is a song by urban sun). Also I know first hand Urban Sun is no slouch when it comes to that green stuff. Urban Sun takes the cake, and will eat it too.
