G. Love & Special Sauce is an alternative hip-hop band from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Formed in 1992, the trio are known for their unique, "sloppy", and "laid back" blues sound that encompasses the sound/production of classic R&B and rap artists, like the Beastie Boys.

In 1995 they released their follow up album Coast to Coast Motel. Although it did not sell as well as the first album, it is considered by many critics as the stronger of the two.

By October 1997 the group had reconciled their differences and released their third album, Yeah, It's That Easy, which along with their own work, showcased their collaboration with several other bands and musicians, including All Fellas Band, Philly Cartel, King's Court, and Dr. John.

Soon after G. Love & Special Sauce set out on another world tour, returning to Philadelphia in 1999 for the release of their fourth album, Philadelphonic.

Philadelphonic was followed up with Electric Mile in 2001, an album that shows the wide-ranging influences of the trio, incorporating hip-hop, funk, psychedelica, blues, and soul in equal and ambitious measure. Ever the road band, "Mile" was followed by extensive touring.

By 2004 and The Hustle, G. Love had eased up a little on the kitchen sink approach, offering instead a cohesive, dry groove reminiscent of his earliest efforts.
