HFP&#8217;s sound is an energetic blend of soul, funk, house, jazz, and rock, overlaid by some fancy rhyming which flows out of them so easily that they make it seem as though anyone could do the same. Upbeat and uptempo, &#8216;Alright&#8217; focuses in turn on each of HFP, with them spitting out the verses in turn.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Lines such as &#8220;\u2018Cause, where I\u2019m from it ain\u2019t cookies and cream\/Or champagne dreams, it\u2019s crooks and fiends&#8221; illustrate their situation, but they show that life is about making the best of whatever situation you find yourself in. &#8220;If you feeling alright?

Their aim is to not simply produce music, but also to break boundaries and cross genres with their sound.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">HFP&#8217;s sophomore album, &#8216;The B.L.A.C.K. Odyssey&#8217; (&#8216;Beyond Light Years Away Carrying Knowledge&#8217;) is packed full of other equally uplifiting and positive tracks. HFP have been joined on the record by some of the best vocalists and musicians in the LA scene, and the collective has been dubbed, &#8220;The B.L.A.C.K. Odyssey Players&#8221;.
