They have performed alongside Michael Franti, Goapele, Ise Lyfe, Front Line, Blue Scholars, and Zion I among others. BRWN BFLO's musical influence is as varied as their upbringings; they credit War, 'Chente, NWA, and Wu-Tang Clan as sources of inspiration.

The group keeps their focus through deep community roots and a strong dedication to their personal testimony as block educators turned musicians. Additionally, BRWN BFLO offers Multi Workshops on Violence-Prevention, Youth Organizing, Creative Writing/Visual Arts and Music Production.
