"As an artist alone, and on his own merits, Turbulence is very good. His flow is good, he has no problems riding the rhtyhms, his lyrics are very good, and he seems to be willing to experiment and try a few new things in his music.
Turbulence sounds A LOT like Sizzla though, and that isn't necessarily a bad thing, he mixes chanting in with his djaying and doesn't seem to favor either. The only difference is Turbulence is obviously more laid back in his approach.
Rising is a good record, the best cut is Just Can't Stop, I also really like Mamma is Here, Rising (even though L.M.S. is on it), Good to Know, Make Sure She Clean and Friends Like These. There are even more good songs than that, there are no bad songs here, listening to this record I kinda got the feeling that this was the best Turbulence could do, I don't know what he could do to improve, he seems to just about be at the top of his game. Excellent Album."
