G. Love & Special Sauce is an American Hip-Hop Blues band known for its unique fusion of
hip-hop, blues, funk, and soul. Formed in 1993 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the band
originally featured Garrett Dutton, aka G. Love, as the lead vocalist and guitarist, Jeffrey
Clemens on drums, and Jim Prescott on bass. Their debut self-titled album, G. Love & Special Sauce, was released in 1994 on Epic Records and included the hit single “Cold Beverage,” which became popular on alternative radio stations
and MTV. The band’s style has been described as a mix of “slacker blues” and “alternative hip-hop,” as they frequently incorporate elements of 90s hip-hop beats with classic blues rhythms.
Over the years, G. Love & Special Sauce has released numerous albums and their sound evolved to include more soul, R&B, and rock influences, though they retained their laid-back vibe and clever lyrical play.
Known for their energetic live performances, G. Love & Special Sauce remains a beloved name in the
music scene, blending genres in a way that feels fresh and authentic.
