If you’ve already seen Too Hype Crew perform, then you know about their explosive stage performance and electric sound.
If you don’t know, now you know.
Band and MC’s
C-Note
Leads Vocs, Keys
.
Too Hype Crew founder and MC, C-Note, a.k.a. “Cords”, was well on his way to a life-rotting corporate existence when he got the old school bug. Now he spends his days on stage trying to burn off all the Colt 45 and Boone’s Farm he drinks at shows.
P.Tugz
Mouth Turntables, Keys, Lead Vocs, Percussion
Patrick, a.k.a. “P.Tugz”, is an accomplished freestylist and MC for THC. Coming in at 6’5″, he also towers over the Crew. Admittedly obsessed with Soul Train re-runs, P Tugz was once considered a class clown. Now look who’s clownin’.
Woodsy Fresh
Drums, Vocs
.
Having played in several successful bands prior to joining THC including Common Ground, Bad Daddy, and Austin City Limits, Drummer Stevie D, a.k.a. “Woodsy Fresh”, is the keeper of the beat that maintains the controlled chaos.
DJ Shor “T”
Turntables, Keys, Vocs, Percussion
Holdin’ down the North Siiide, THC MC, DJ, keyboardist, and percussionist Tami, a.k.a. DJ Shor “T”, may be vertically challenged, but she’s got mad skills. When she’s not dreaming of slam dunks, she’s on stage tearin’ it up with some of the best spittin’ on two short legs.
Elle Hoodz
Keys, Vocs, Percussion
.
Alex, a.k.a. “Elle Hoodz”, rocks the keyboards, vocals, guitar, and bass. This sweet, animal loving, coffee guzzling, studious, multi-instrumentalist may seem nice but, wait – never mind, she really is nice.
Cornbread
Guitar, Bass, Sax, Vocs
.
Mel, a.k.a. “Cornbread”, covers a lot of ground – on and off the THC clock. Along with his THC duties, he has been the guitarist on Empire for six seasons, he teaches guitar during the day and runs an open mic night in Chicago every week.
j dizzy
Bass, Guitar, Vocs
.
Jordan, aka “j dizzy”, lays down sick bass that’s seriously out of this world (oh yeah, he’s an alien!). After touring with punk bands for years, his spunky, funky style is perfect for the THC crew. This blunt smokin’, whiskey drinkin’, bass thumpin’ bad boy has a soft side too. Especially when it comes kittens and puppies (but don’t tell anyone).
Da Legend
Dancer, Rapper, Photog, Goodwill Ambassador
David, a.k.a. “Da Legend”, is a trained professional dancer and is also spineless – as in the G is so flexible, he can’t possibly have a spine! He raps, dances, sings, plays keys and not only starts the party at every show, he finishes it! Laydeez, run. 😂
Fly Girls
Juicebox
Jeshka, a.k.a. “Juicebox”, is the leader of the THC Fly Girls. Ladies, go ahead and get mad – Juicebox is one of those who can eat and drink anything with no consequences. Body rockin’, feet flyin’, she’s the perfect combination of smart, silly, and fly.
Hot Wheelz
If Yvonne, a.k.a. “Hot Wheelz”, looks familiar, it might be because she delivered yo baby! An O.B. nurse by day and gym rat by night, Hot Wheelz is a rock hard dancing machine who is not afraid of a 4AM club or that round of shots.
Lemon Drop
Jen, a.k.a. “Lemon Drop”, is a furrealz ballerina, dance instructor, yoga instructor, and all-around kind soul. When she’s not on stage, she’s out breakin’ hearts and breakin’ bread with her childhood buddy Juicebox. Namaste.
KitKat
KitKat, our resident party starter originally from Indiana is no stranger to the stage. Been in THC since 2014 & dances for multiple kick-ass professional dance companies. Talents ranging from fly girl to breaker. KitKat can throw down. If you want to get on her good side, buy her a gin & tonic and talk about music & food. Break me off a piece of THAT!
Backstop
Kristen, a.k.a. “Backstop”, may have majored in dance at Michigan University, but she got her masters in lighting up the THC stage. Why Backstop? Because nuttin’ gets past dat booty!
Redhot
Bella, a.k.a. Redhot, is a smokeshow who moved her fly self to L.A. in 2017 to make it big…and she CRUSHED that goal, but THC still flies her back for shows when she’s not on a world tour dancing with the Latin superstar Maluma. Red Hot answers the question, “What happens when you raise a girl proper in Geneva, IL but also gives her looks, smarts and crazy talent?”
UFO
You may have seen THC Fly Girl Candis, a.k.a. “U.F.O.”, dancing in a Twista video, or teaching pole fitness, but if you want to take a class now, you’ll have to go to “So-Cal”, where she and three other THC Fly Girls defected! But that doesn’t stop THC from flying her in for shows!
Ley Ley
Cali girl, professional dancer, fitness & life coach, loves cats & a good coffee shop. She can build a sales funnel & ur booty. Catch her old fashioned swagger & her smile that lights up the room.
Extremely Worthless Posse
Too Hype Crew shows regularly feature a table full of O.G’s on stage whose only contribution to the show is to take up space. Behold, THC’s Extremely Worthless Posse.
You’ll find posse members like “Baby Huey”, ”Sho Nuff”, ”GPS”, and “CapNCrunch” hanging around at shows, freeloading and drinking 40’s. Please don’t feed the animals.
