New Haven Advocate Reviews Quest's "Journey Towards The Sun album"
CD from The Rising Sun Quest
Saturday, July 19, 2008
By David Pond & Brian LaRue
The Rising Sun Quest, Journey Towards The Sun (risingsunquest.com). A breath of fresh air for Connecticut hip-hop. Composed of positive content about respect and everyday struggles, conscious rhymes about the system and NPR sound clips, this is the kind of classic that reminds you of KRS-One, Chuck D or the Guru. The production, beats and scratches are just as tight as the rhymes, crossing between Masta Ace's Sitting On Chrome and Guru's Jazzmatazz. The sound is strictly old-school East Coast. The track to bang for your friends is "Take Care of Business"; its soulful hook is inspiring, and makes you want to sing along while bobbing your head to the beat. B-boys, B-girls, writers and DJs best take care of business and go cop this album.

Hell yes!!!! And I loved every moment working in your damp ass basement crunching out cuts for your album. They were all memerable experiences. I know this project was a success, we just have to wait until its fruition.
Peace,

I think the could have tried a bit harder in giving you the 5 star props you deserve for this album since I've seen some better reviews written for you on iTunes. Its still dope to see you get press bro.

Great interview. I'm always awed by the artistry of engineering. Like Hawl, I'm just a rapper, but the process of mixing and the ear that the engineer brings to a project to make the vocals pop and the vocals and the beat mesh has always intrigued m…

Nice job! that was very interesting... glad i'm just a rapper though, i couldn't deal with the tech side of it. Good Shit!
Good stuff... beatboxing doesn't get enough recognition, so good job on bringing it out. Not to mention SemeRock is pretty damn good!
Thanks everybody. Glad yall felt it for sure!
thats a healthy vinyl collection....nice setup too, that digi rack looks dope. Good interview
I hate everything about this guy....No not you Nasa, Kim Jong Il. Haha. Fantastic work by Sketch. Nasa is one of the most interesting cats I've come across on the indie scene. His discog is about 3 pages long, but you wouldn't know it unless you're…
This is dope man. I like the video of the Studio. Good shit Nasa i'm diggin your approach. Much love.
