Cody’s raps are always percussive, funky and entertaining. He can freestyle with the best of them, and is constantly writing new deep and unique lyrics. His flows can be uplifting, thoughtful, sexy, dramatic, or darn right funny.

The blend of hill country blues and rap might surprise some people, but it is actually a natural combination that reflects the reality of where this music comes from.
