Philadelphia Slick is a live hip hop band, fronted by rapper Noesis, formed in 2005. Drummer El Smooth and Noesis handle production for the band, which also includes keyboardist Zach Reilly, saxophonist Matt Schwartz, and bassist Mike Polinsky. At times the band includes Adam Hershberger on trumpet.

Noesis himself has released four studio albums, but the group's first venture came out in late 2007. Also in 2007 Philadelphia Slick took home first prize in the Philly Sound Clash, a competition sponsored by PhillyCarShare at World Café Live. In 2006, Philadelphia Slick played the Emergenza Festival with performances at The Fire, The Five Spot, and The North Star Bar. The finals were held at the Theater of the Living Arts, where Noesis was named “Best Vocalist”.[1]

In 2007 the band was the winner of the Philadelphia City Paper's Reader's Choice award for Top Local Band.[2]

They have shared the stage with Pharoahe Monch, The Last Emperor, Percee P, Akil from Jurassic 5, Reef the Lost Cauze, Nouveau Riche, Juggaknots, Subliminal Orphans, Mellow Veneer, Taylor McFerrin and Dr. K's Motown Review.

In 2010, the group released The Everything's Game EP, recorded at soul legend Bobby Eli's Studio E, displaying a vast difference in sound quality between Everything's Game and their last album, Oil.[3] Only six tracks and 20 minutes long, it's their most concise release.
