4.0 out of 5 stars Nice Intro To The Rising Smoke From The West, May 14, 2003

Knoc-Turn'al is the newest big thing from the wast he is helping it gain it's once formadibal position atop the rap game back. Dr. Dre prodege but doesn't need dre to make him carry an album. He kept it short & tight and got a couple pf hot singles and nice tunes oout of it. I'll just mention the high lights

Knoc ft/Missy & Dr.Dre - Nice beat by Dr.Dre this was to be Knoc's single from his full album that got pushed back but alright. Missy does a nice hook but Dre really doesn't do much but drop a pretty short line or two. Knoc uses thsi song to really just showcase him self with a nice hit.

Str8 West Coast (Remix) ft/ Warren G, Nate Dogg, Shade Sheist & Xzibit - Great west coast anthem. This was originally on The Wash soundtrack in it's original version teh same good west coast beat is employed but the added guests spice things up a bit. My only disappointment is that Warren doesn't drop a new verse and i've been waiting awhile to hear something from him again.

Muzik - The second single has a nice powerful guitar riff beat. It was also used on a soundtrack. Knoc comes up with another catchy totally Knoc-Turn'al that sort of sets him apart.

Let's All Roll - ft/ Time Bomb, Jayo Felony, Butch Cassidy, & Slip Capone - This one is a nice rolling posse cut. Jayo & Time Bomb are my personal fav's on this song but slip & knoc both drop tight rhymes. What makes this track really nice is Butch on the hook, he is another on that will help bring the west back and he is already gaining some exposure.

L.A. Night & Day - This is a very trippy laid back smoked out track. Knoc does a pretty damn catchy verse and to make things even more impressive he is the one who produced the great beat. Real nice to ride out with on a saturday night or to chill, sit back & schmoke a phatty to.

all in all a nice sample of what Knoc has to offer and good signs comming from teh left coast once again.

5.0 out of 5 stars The West Coast Is Highly Slept On, September 29, 2002

I wasn't gonna buy this album because it was an EP. I saw he had the tight song wit missy and a lot of West Coast artist appearances, so I picked it up. Muzik is somethin' different. The song is produced by one of my favoirtes, Kanye West. "Str8 West Coast (Remix) is off the chain and so is "Let's All Roll." Knoc's got tight flow. It's different from everyone eles. You don't know if he's singing or rappin'. Can't wait for the full length album.

4.0 out of 5 stars Quality EP from Knoc-Turn'al, October 25, 2004

The 6'4" Long Beach native delivers a 6 song, 24 minute long-awaited EP debut released by his own L.A. Confidential. Although I'd have liked to see it have more songs the ones that are on here a good but it does feature a lot of people but you can still see the Knoc's writing/rapping/and singing talent on the album. Prodction is good, Dr. Dre does 2 songs, Kanye West, Fred Wreck, Budda, and LA Confidential all do 1 song. I'd definatly recommend buying a copy and it should be rather cheap since it doesn't have much material.

#1 - 8.5 (f/ Missy & dr. Dre)
#2 - 9.5 (song about what music means to him)
#3 - 9.5 (f/ Warren G, Nate Dogg, Shade Sheist, & Xzibit)
#4 - 8.5 (f/ Jayo Felony, Slip Capone, Timebomb, & Butch Cassidy)
#5 - 6.5
#6 - 7 (f/ Slip Capone & Too $hort)
