Hed PE performs a style of music which they have referred to as "G-punk", a phrase inspired by the term used to describe the style known as "G-funk", itself a reference to the P-Funk collective. Hed PE's music is a fusion of styles ranging from hip hop and reggae to punk rock, hardcore punk and heavy metal. Although Hed PE has sometimes been described as rap rock, they do not consider themselves a part of this genre.

Frontman Jared Gomes is quoted as saying "It is hard because people wanna describe music with words and that in itself is a difficult task. I think that it is a misconception that we were part of some trend or whatever. We don't look at ourselves like that. [...] We just consider ourselves musicians, artists. We don't consider ourselves "rap-rockers" or whatever."

The band's influences include Beastie Boys, Black Sabbath, Bob Marley, Led Zeppelin, Nine Inch Nails, The Notorious B.I.G. and Rage Against the Machine. Hed PE's second album, Broke, incorporated classic rock and world music influences, while Back 2 Base X was influenced by classic punk bands such as the Sex Pistols and the Clash, Insomnia was influenced by thrash metal bands such as Slayer, and New World Orphans was influenced by Suicidal Tendencies and Minor Threat.

Guitarist Jaxon has been credited for encouraging a heavier, hardcore punk-influenced musical style.

Support - Attila
