Not only do I like some hip-hop like Digable Planets (because of the jazz) and The Roots (because they're all instrumentalists), but I also have a big love for good a cappella groups/performances and similar things like vocal percussionists, such as Rahzel and Wes Carroll. My mother is a vocal teacher and coach and both she and my dad have done tons of teaching and performing, so as you know I grew up in an insanely musical environment.
And I just discovered a group called Naturally 7 and this video is way, way cool:
Hope you enjoy that; it's really impressive.

Impressive, definitely, but does it still count as "using only your voice" when Jamal is clearly using distortion and delay fx to get those lead synth and/or guitar tones? Jus' nitpicking -- I can't even get those sounds with a real guitar. ^^;
If you eat the mic enough you will end up getting that uncompressed tube tone. I was skeptical too until I watched a couple of live performances with similar sounds in them, and them. :)
And yeah maybe I should start doing what he's doing because he's better at mouth guitar than I am at real guitar.
Way cool group!Tight harmony, great vocalizations! Fun to see what you are doing...
