Emcee Lynx's heavy emphasis on history and culture have led him to incorporate traditional Celtic instruments and melodies into his music (his background is Scottish and Irish), and he has made an overt effort to draw parallels between the colonization of the Celtic Nations (see Pan-Celticism and Modern Celts) and the colonization of Africa, Asia, and the Americas. In one of the many position papers posted on his website, he compares the ongoing oppression of Catholics in the North Irish Settler State, Palestinians under Israeli rule, Native Americans under US rule, and Black South Africans under Apartheid; and concludes that they are all manifestations of the same process.

Sound and Influences

In terms of sound, Emcee Lynx is hard to pigeonhole since his sound has changed so much with each album. This is intentional, in interviews he describes his musical vision as trying to "stretch the boundaries of hip hop" as widely as possible, and is thus constantly incorporating new elements. These range from the heavy 'electronic-industrial-metal-hardcore rap' fusion on his first album to smoother trip-hop and funk influenced sounds to bass-driven 'west coast' styles. He produces most of his own instrumentals, but has collaborated with a wide range of producers in several countries. Frequent collaborators include Dub Cee, of Working Classic Records in London, England, DJ Phoney of Phoney Records in Cologne, Germany, and Kdubbs of Urban Underground in San Jose, California. The Unamerican LP (2004) also featured three instrumentals by members of the Live Oak Collective from San Jose. Regular guest vocalists include Shamako Noble, Scott Dred, and DLabrie.
