The Milky Way is an LA-based experimental hip-hop band founded by SUM and forged from a collective of respected musicians from across the country. Their grasp of different sounds and eras has been described as "encyclopedic", and is what makes their unique sound tick. Flying between African psychadelic rock, boom bap and acid trap sometimes in the space of one song, they never travel so far as to alienate. They are the Pledgemusic AMPLIFY Program's inaugural hip-hop band, and are set to release their debut EP "Shiva The Destroyer", a spiritual odyssey, in 2018 on The Hurting Cats Music Solutions.
