Press Reviews "Hip enough to dispel the doubters...tight with flowing rhymes and...production." - Chris Page, Bakersfield Californian. "The fact that one of RRP's founding emcees was originally a ska guy proves this isn't your typical hip-hop crew. But now the [Ruckus] emcees mix chunky beats with tightly knit lyrics. These cats have stuff to say, which means you actually have to listen while bobbing your head." - Cameron Strang, 7Ball Magazine. - "Fresh out of High School from Bakersfield, CA, the newest hip-hop group to invade the world of Christian music takes a fresh approach to the genre with a blend of hip-hop, latin, and shades of hardcore in a song that will at least have programmers talking about how they can try to fit this into their playlist. ... This is a great track (A Las Chicas) that has incredible potential." - JamsLine.com.
