A project originally led solely by Yoni Wolf from hip-hoppers cLOUDDEAD, these days the folk-pop-hip-hop of why? has become a quartet consisting of the aforementioned Yoni, with a little help from whippersnappers Josiah Wolf, Doug Mcdiarmid and Matt Meldon. It's 10% Beck, 10% Cake, and 80% hip-hop excellence.

If you're wondering "so why aren't they huge?", it's probably because you haven't gone out and bought all of the records yet... so, do.
