TBNY's underground activities deeply affected the roots of Korean hiphop. TBNY being close friends with members of Epik High, they shared views of hiphop to improve their skills. Also, TBNY produced and wrote lyrics for many of today's famous Korean singers. Featuring was also done many times by TBNY.

TBNY's songs deliver various genres rooting from hiphop.
For example, TBNY's <Prayer> is sung in the name of God, both TobBob and Yankie being born Christians.
TBNY's <Truman Show> contains lyrics based off of the original movie of 'True Man Show'.
TBNY's <F.U> and <You> contain feelings of hatred for a specific target. The track <You> was indirectly targeted at Curbin of CBMASS, who scammed money off of Epik High's production funds for the 1st album. This was clearly shown when Yankie yelled "You know who I'm talking about right? It's CBMASS" during their "Prosac" concert.
