Eddie Numbers is quite possibly the best act you’ve never heard (yet); with his organic style of rap it is hard to guess what rhyme will come next listening to one of his well crafted poetic verses. The Eddie Numbers band consists of 6 members including himself. Numbers put together an exciting high energy show playing hiphop tracks with a full live band and crossing across genres.
