Tunnel Rats Got It Like That, February 13, 2002
This review is from: Tunnel Vision (Audio CD)
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 .....

Why Do The Best Artists Always Get Slept On?!?!, May 1, 2002
This review is from: Tunnel Vision (Audio CD)
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!!!

If you're not feelin it, see a doctor!!!, January 2, 2003
This review is from: Tunnel Vision (Audio CD)
What else can I say. The Tunnel Rats hit you with music with a message, purpose, vision, and annointing. The foundation: Jesus Christ. The foundation for mainstream rap today: hedonism. This product exhibits some of the best lyricism and production that rivals the best of hip-hop albums past and present. From Sev Statik to New Breed to LPG to Raphi and Zane - everyone who touched the mic on this production ripped it! And you thought that holy hip-hop was soft - listen to "2 Cents," "One's Who Do," and "One's Who Don't" and then talk to me. T.R.'z proclaim the name of Christ and His values with all the talent and ability that you've NEVER witnessed...It never leaves my 12 disc!
