=== Tropes that apply to Todd Edwards or his music ===
* [[
* [[I Have Many Names]]: The Sunshine Brothers, the Sample Choir, the Messenger, and the Todd Edwards Project are all aliases of which he as released songs under.
* [[Mondegreen]]: It's fun trying to interpret his sample-chopping as actual lyrics. "I'm Hopeful" alone gives us, "[[Toilet Humor|I made a poopie]]" (alternatively, [[Pokémon
* [[Sampling]]: If he isn't the [[Trope Codifier]], no one is.
* [[Signature Style]]: Most of his songs follow this pattern: opening drumbeat, usually with lots of shuffling snares, remove drumbeat to let the samples play, bring drumbeat back in along with a bassline, play a different sample pattern, go back to the previous one/introduce a new one, repeat previous step, remove some samples, remove all samples so only the bassline and drums are heard, take out bassline, start from step 3.
