Propaganda - Out Of Knowhere
On Tunnel Vision one of the two Tunnel Rat ladies Zane had a
song called "Change", that talked about just that. The
TR's have always been a group that practices what they
preach and "Change" is no different. While everyone was
finally getting settled with the new Tunnel Rat line up the
Rats go and change it up again adding 2 new members. One of
those is the multi talented dreaded MC named Propaganda. As
the album title suggests he has come out of nowhere and
presents us with a new voice for Tunnel Rat fans
everywhere.
You will realize quickly that this is not your typical TR
release as Dert only produces one track. Donavan Luke Henry
carries the production load on this release and does an
outstanding job lacing Propaganda with beats that fit his
flow to a tee. Each song has its own feel and a large part
of that is thanks to Donavan on the boards. Propaganda
doesn't disappoint either as he proves his versatility on
the mic. The second track called "I Know" solidifies the
fact that he can battle rap teaming up with the Dokument on
this no holds bar banger. Each emcee hits you over the head
with their distinct styles and Dokument ends the song off
with one of the albums best lines
"Who's playing the game, I'm running your life,
If you married to the mic, just know I'm touching your
wife".
On "My Life My Music" Props and Macho show they know how
to keep the party live with a track that makes your body
move. With a Latin style guitar and a bouncy beat Props
flows over the track with confidence and grace. If Tony
Touch ever got a hold of this song the Taino Turntable
Terror would be bumping it on his next mixtape guaranteed.
"Ya Never Know" has the emcee detailing stories about the
trials of relationships and not moving to fast. This track
will have you hooked from the beginning as the story unfolds
to an ending you might not expect. "Time and Place" as
well as "Keep It Live" add to the mix as they bring a
different flavor to the album and keep it a diverse
listen.
After a couple of listens the album will grow on you even
more and Propaganda will gain the listeners respect. This
album has a perfect layout to introduce everyone to
Propaganda's sound, with guest appearances thankfully not
bogging down the albums liner notes. The Tunnel Rats future
looks very bright as they have added yet another outstanding
emcee to an already stacked lineup.
