Reviews:
Artist to Watch for in 2008. – Hip-Hop Alive!
Afrofreque is certainly a band to watch evolve. They have created a platform for some delicious hip hop to be heard. – Amie Street
When people say "live Hip-Hop", you probably think of The Roots. Take that instrumentation, but add in a bit of the Reggae, some of the Afrobeat, a pinch of Electronica, and some social consciousness, and you are almost understanding what Afrofreque is all about. – Rock the Dub
They used to tear the roof off back at the Ritz Lounge in the nineties, and Tigre Liu is still pushing the envelope on instrumental hip-hop experimentation today. – Austin American Statesman
