Thanks Remy! I got this album in 98 or 99 and lost it in 2006. Brings so many memories when Gospel Hip Hop sucked. Tunnel Rats and Grits were rays of sunshine and gave me glimpse of where Gospel Hip Hop was heading.
I also got up on early releases from Sup (SFC) and Future Shock (Remember The Future). Grits' Factors is STILL in heavy rotation in my GooglePlay collection.
@@DeanLRoganII MY FIRST HHH CD WAS SUP THE CHEMIST DUST 1999... DO REMEMBER THE BREAKS MAG/ ZINE BACK IN 99/2000? WHATS WHERE IFOUND OUT ABOUT IT BACK IT THEN... ONE MIND MAGAZINE
@@patricksargent5718 I think my intro to HHH was when my younger sister handed me a DC Talk CD (pre-"Jesus Freak" of course) and I also ran into A-1 SWIFT's debut CD...I STILL bump the latter from time to time but I lost the DC talk dealie...I might get it back by downloading it from here or diggin' in some CD store crates...
Bruh I got put on in 96 at a church summer camp 🤌🏾 as a young HipHop head growing up in church this was pure gold🙌🏾 the Fugees of Christian hip hop imo 🔥 I hop someone gets this on DSPs
Man I feeling this album, first time listening to it, I be on The Cross Movement so much, but I’m about to bump Tunnel Rats more, thanks for uploading 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Both this one and Tunnel Vision are solid for when they came out, but it had to start somewhere...and this was one of the most powerful debut CDs EVER, regardless of (sub)genre. Thanx for having this available, Remmy!!
@@p.tyeshuapaclee8435 this was my first experience with the tunnel rats. There were some other Christian rap artists at the time, but none had this level of skill.
I just did an earthquake test, year is 2023 the structures still hold up, simply slept on. Probably never could go big due to samples and it being Christian. TY.
Hello bro, sorry for my english but I am from Guatemala and I have searched for that album for a long time. Could you share with me? is that in my country it is very difficult to find music of tunnel rats, Grascias paz y suerte en todo
Dude, thanks so much for this! Any chance you have that track with Macho and Elsie (New Breed) that wasn't released on any major album...I think the title was "City Lights"?
Hey Profetik - does the 2nd half of each of their hooks go "...or was I born to speak life, break up every street fight each night, speak Christ when I hear the beats tight...?" The name of that one is "Chill" , one of their first tracks, and it's the only one I know of that mentions anything about lights.
One of the greatest album of all time. Superior beats, Great lyrical monstrosity, Wonderful message. Will always stand the test of time
Eloquently put
This man knows what he's talking about......probably my #1 album of all time
I was a new Christian at this time. Born again og street thug. To Yah be the glory
HERE IN 2021!!!
Raised my sons on this album. Timeless!
Father of the year!
This group here!!! Used to bump this heavy!!!!!
Me too brethren!
Same here, dude. I used to tear my car speakers up with this.
I was introduced to these guys by an old friend who was a born again Christian. Good guy with a great heart. RIP Jeremy Loveless
I got the chills! Used to bump this over and over... and over.. shouts to that L.A. Underground sound, Project Blowed!

Had to come back to celebrate this great project and movement!!
Hip-Hop was in such a beautiful place then.
This reminds me of that group L.A. Symphony. An amazing underground group as well.

@@labanndungo1256 interesting - cause I def thought Trey-Qel was the DJ for this album

Loved and love the rats
Dammn!! estaba buscando comop loco este album, ya puedo descansar en paz, pondre esta mierda mientras prendo un porro y me duermo !!! peace!
On my way to work jamming the TR's!! I'm the irate captain of this pirate penmen ship!!!
you can't survive diving off my lips, taking dips in realit-t-t
swerving in and out of phonographic traffic, like an oriental teriyatric, in a 5 speed automatic
right up there with Inspecta decks verse on Triump as one of the best verses ever
I used to love the song "Womans Touch" by Zane and this was before I got saved. Coincidentally got saved about a year after hearing it.
Good life emceez in da house....💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎
