Faze, eens een drugsdealer en een winnaar van de 'Golden Gloves Boxing Championship'. Hij is bekeerd, maar dat hij een boxer is geweest hoor je nog steeds in zijn muziek. Hij boxt tegen de zonden en de duisternis. Hij laat zich niet zomaar neerhalen, he is 'just tryin ta stay up'. Zijn muziek neigt naar de East Coast. Zijn texten en 'delivery' zijn ruig, ruw en rouw (soms te vergelijken met Nine). Diverse taktieken zijn gebruikt om de tegenstander neer te halen, maar ‚‚n van de opvallendste is wel dat Faze live-instrumenten gebruikt. Faze speelt op diverse tracks zelf electrisch gitaar en er wordt door anderen ook keyboard, basgitaar, drum en fluit gespeeld. In het nummer 'Bombin On Your Dome' haalt Faze uit met een linkse en laat hij zien welke skillz hij bezit. In het nummer 'Modern Day Prophet' haalt hij uit met een rechtse en daar moet je wel aan geloven. Het diepste en ruigste nummer vind ik 'Just Tryin Ta Stay Up', dit is echt een rechtse uithaal die je niet kan ontwijken. Een stukje tekst daarvan is "I see the world is steady fadin' it's enough to make you crazy, I see mama's on TV killin' their own babies. A tear falls from my eye then I look up to the sky and ask God why". Het refrein luid zo: "Layin' deep in the cut watchin' things errupt, you see I'm waitin' to meet my maker just tryin' ta stay up". Faze gebruikt zijn talent en taktieken om over de beat te boxen. Faze laat zich van zijn kampioenkant zien en ik weet zeker dat hij na deze overwinningen in de hemel zijn beloning, de Golden Gloves, ontvangt.
PS: Van Faze is ook een CD Single te krijgen. Hierop staat het nummer 'Just Tryin Ta Stay Up', zowel het origineel als een instrumentale versie en het nummer 'Slippin In The Darkness'.

Unfortunatly, the release of this album is delayed until summer. The good news about it is: it will not be an EP, but a full length album. Flynn is adding 4 more tracks to 6 tracks that were planned for the EP (Night after Night, Miss Pioneer, Directions, Miss P (Xanadu Voyage Mix), Spanish Harlem and Louder). The album was recorded at Moonsong Studios in Riverside, California with engineer Bob Moon. The project features the production of and guest apprearances by B-Twice and Pigeon John of the infamous Brainwash Projects, Sublingual and Uno Mas of the ever present Eternals, DJ Coy, and Slerp.

When people listen to Flynn Adam Atkins' music, they capture one of today's finest hip-hop lyricists and emcees. They are enraptured by the hard, melodic beats and dazed and glazed by his potent, distinctive, and electrifying lyrics. Two words describe his music for today’s rap scene: Much Needed!

Following the successful release of the single "Spanish Harlem", the new album, "Louder," contains songs like "Plasmic Plight", "Turn Your Eyes", and "Directions". Although he drank Kool-Aid as a child, his lyrics are still intelligent and complex. The album features production and guest appearances by members of the crew LA Symphony including Brainwash Projects, Eternals, Halieyoos Fishermen, Coy and Slerp.

Flynn Adam Atkins is timeless with a rich and long history in the hip-hop scene; influences range from De La Soul, Common, Jack Kerouac, C.S. Lewis, A Tribe Called Quest, Beastie Boys, Frederick Douglass and Rakim. One can only imagine this young man’s wide potential for commercial success; the world will soon witness Flynn Adam Atkins stylized music and describe it in two words : Much Needed!

Stijl HipHop


Een hele goede HipHop/Soul/Hardcode. Er wordt non-stop in gerapt met donker stemgeluid. Het is de beste HipHop CD tot nu toe. De achtergrond muziek/geluiden zijn erg met de tijd mee. De teksten zijn goed te verstaan. Er wordt veel in gescratched.

Album: Future Shock


Soujourn, Redbonz and Ajax are Future Shock. As members of Tunnel Rats these hip-hop heads have appeared on the album of the same name, and with LPG. This group is about to rock the industry with hard beats and smooth flows. No doubt, Future Shock will be a force to reckon with as this group continues to show their love for God through a no compromise show of skill. Prepare yourself for the shock.

This album is making the critics think twice about Hip Hop because some of these songs are recorded with a live band, kind of like having a recording during a jam session. Ajax produces some of the music and Peace586, As always, produces some too. Super C from SFC appears on this album! This is another fine Tunnel Rat Production. To be released October 7, 1996. Due to lack of interest in skilled Christian Music, you might not find this at your local bookstore, or you might not find it at all. You can order it though. Support good Christian Music.

Picked up Future Shock's record on Wenesday (Oct. 2) and it is very tight. Production is very different, taking a "ROOTS" route on some songs with the live thing. Dax ( LPG ) offers some singing vocals on one song and what can I say, TALENT. At first, some of the songs seemed very different but they've all already grown on me ( in all the times i've listened to it in the last 5 days ). Everything about this album is good, from the artwork on the cover to the production, and of course, the lyrics.
