The group has had the honor of performing and hosting workshops internationally and domestically in Europe, Japan, Indonesia, Fiji, Solomon Islands, New Zealand, Samoa, Morocco, Oman, Cyprus, Nepal, Philippines, Bali, the UK, Canada, Brazil, Ecuador, Tanzania+. Their unique sound is eclectic + avant-garde, yet rooted in the voice of the people and Mama Earth.

Whether it's the full world hip-hop ensemble, a DJ with live players and dancers, Indigenous prayer, educational workshops, or event production services; Audiopharmacy is a movement that combines the quality of 20 years experience, consciousness, community, and love.

HEAT COME feat. RAS K'DEE & RAMSAL
PRODUCE BY TEAO SENSE
"Heat Come" is a blend of Future Soul, RnB, House, & Trap with poetical, political lyricism feat a "smooth like butter” female vocalist. Sound comparisons? Say Kaytranada meets Bay Area Hip-Hop Culture (The Coup, Dead Prez, Michael Franti) with a Jazzy-Soul cherry on top (Esthero, Erykah Badu).
#HeatCome is now on all digital platforms
