"Man I don't know what it is.It seems like all the "Great Ones" get slept on.This is certainly the case with the Tunnel Rats. Everything about this project is solid. The music,lyrics,their delivery,the mix of different styles,it's all tight.Even down to the cover!The overall quality of album is pretty amazing considering they're on some indie label who's yet to put out anything that can stand up against the majors. Nowadays when I buy a CD I'm happy if I get 4 or 5 songs that I REALLY feel. Damn near every song is tight on this piece!The illest part is no 2 songs really sound the same.East,West?It don't even matter.It's just dope.There's something for everybody too.I even caught MY MOM vibin' to some of the more soulful joints like "2 Cents" and the hidden remix of "Chainge"!!!My personal favorite is the complex "Motivate" where that kid Raphi bounces all over this ill ass track.I can't wait to see what his solo album is gonna sound like.Just trust me folks, you want Tunnel Vision. With 22 tracks, you won't be dissappointed. Wake up ya'll!!!"

"Man, I can't believe how bangin this CD is. Stillmatic was my favorite CD of the moment until I got a hold of this album. Appareantly, the producer for the TR goes to the college I went to. But a friend of mine knows the guy and came back home with two advance copies of the album. I had never heard of them though. So the CD that my friend brought back for me sat on my desk for about three weeks before I finally decided to give it a listen. For some reason, I did not expect much good music, but I was really surprised from the get go! All of the emcees are on point with their rhymes. The beats are all slamming. There are only a couple interludes, which aren't too long, and also the female emcees fit in very nicely on every track they spit on. On "Ladies" they definitely hold their own over a very nice and smooth beat. They have the perfect mix of sexy and rough at the same time. And what really tripped me out was when I finally noticed that this was Christian rap! Not a cuss word on the album and I didn't even notice because this album is just superbly put together. ...... Peace...1 luv....."

THE BEST CD I HAVE EVER HEARD!!!

"When I was commin' up I was surrounded by hip-hop, but truthfully ya'll everybody I heard from back in the day was only concerned about self. I don't need to say any names because all you have to do is turn on your radio's hip-hop station and chances are you'll hear who i'm talkin' about. And all of the sudden, out of the fog from the deepest part of the underground emerges a ray of light. This is by far the best music cd I have ever heard! The TR "set the par", while they stay focused on the mission. If you want a good cd buy this one, but beware, I just went to the store to buy another cd and the TR were in my deck and I didn't even open the new cd to to replace the TR
PEACE, AND MUCH LOVE IN JESUS' NAME, YA"LL"
