Whatmore (stylized in all caps) is an American hip-hop group from New York City, New York, formed in 2024. The group consists of Cisco Swank, Yoshi T., Jackson August, Sebastiano, and Elijah Judah.
History The members of the band first met as freshmen at LaGuardia High School in Manhattan, New York City. Following high school, the members pursued solo projects and often collaborated on each other's work. The group officially formed in 2024 following a performance by member Cisco Swank at Baby's All Right in Williamsburg; Cisco did not want to perform, so he invited the other members to perform with him. The group began releasing music on Bandcamp with the series Flips, featuring reimagined versions of songs from artists including Mac Miller, SZA, Phoebe Bridgers, and more. They also began performing DIY shows across Brooklyn and Downtown Manhattan.
Whatmore released their debut single "Eastside w My Dogs" in June 2025. The following month, they released their second single "Chicken Shop Date". In August, they released the alternative rock single "Go!". Whatmore's self-titled debut album was released in October 2025. In March 2026 they released the two singles “Still Loiteringgg” and “2000s Pop Punk Rnb”. They later released a music video for “2000s Pop Punk Rnb” starring actors Sean Kaufman and Avantika. They also announced their first world tour. In April, they performed at Coachella 2026.
Public image The New York Times featured Whatmore in 'The Fall's Most Anticipated Albums: 10 Picks' and Ones to Watch included Whatmore in their Top 30 Artists to Watch in 2026 list. Prior to their debut album, the group garnered a large following on social media, with snippets of their music going viral on TikTok. The group described themselves and their sound as "very New York".
Artistry Whatmore's music has been described as "genre-bending", with influences of hip-hop, pop, jazz, and alternative indie. The group has been compared to other hip-hop collectives such as Brockhampton and Odd Future. Some of Whatmore's inspirations include The Beatles, Miles Davis' Second Great Quintet, Arctic Monkeys, The Jackson 5, A Tribe Called Quest, and Pro Era.
