5.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Fly For Some White Guys, February 5, 2001

Naturally, more than a few people will automatically tune these guys out because they are white and not from the 'hood.' Those who do are missing out on something. This group is very good. There have been more than a few white rappers who have tried to make an entry into the hip-hop scene, and either failed miserably or else could not compete with what is already out there, but these guys are much better than most. 'Gringos' has to be my favorite track. :-) Go check it out...you might be surprised.

You don't expect white guys to make a lot of dope tracks, but Harmonics pulls it off with flying colours. The beats, lyrics, and rhyming were all masterul performances. Deserves mroe than 5 stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not Bad for some white boys!, October 4, 2000

Ill Harmonics has to be the best hip-hop group out there. The members (Play Dough and Blake Knight) have been on numerous hip-hop projects in the past couple of years and now they have dropped their own contribution into the vast land of Rap. These cats have flows that would impress even the most cynical person. These guys represent Christ with no shame and perform their songs with that in mind...to represent Christ to the fullest and not come off wack. Even more impressive is the fact that most of the guitar is played by Play Dough and the keys and bass are played by Blake Knight. Ill Harmonics can hold their own with anyone on the radio today if they ever get a chance. Buy this album or miss out on some awesome cuts.
