Hip-hop Hype duo, The New F-O's know this and feed off of it.

Earlier this month we talked about the local band's rap/rock sound, and this week you can see just how the group gets down, with live MCing mixed with live drums and instrumentation.

MC's Lifted and Poncho get bilingual in "Mira, Mira!" while fellow rapper Hannibal Leq lends his vocals on the party jam "Show Me."

The guys discuss these songs in our exclusive videos, as well as delve into their definition of Hype Music.
