Sounds Like:

From XLR8R Magazine: "West Coast hip-hop strikes back! Well, upper-upper West Coast, that is. Straight-outta-Seattle heavy spitters Gatsby (son of legendary producer Larry Mizell) and Judas, together with DJ TilesOne, form the Voltron robot of Cancer Rising. Ripping through 13 cuts of caustic MPC-meets-live-instrumentation hip-hop, the trio brings the brouhaha with a searing amalgam that conjures vibes of Jurassic 5, Dujeous, Blackalicious, and Eminem. Note to all the non-believers: Check the ruff 'n' rugged tag-team jawn "Pocket Check." Seattle is on the come up, fa' sho!"

From KEXP: "Whether they're contemplating their part in life or controlling the life of the party this Seattle hip-hop group always comes correct with their rock and soul flavored tracks..."

From Seattle Weekly: "Consisiting of MC's Judas and Gatsby and DJ Tiles One, Cancer Rising have infiltrated the forefront of Seattle's burgeoning hiphop scene thanks to a steady work ethic, some choice live shows, and several releases..."
"The local trio's Search for the Cure is hip-hop made by people who like rock just as much, and is one of the most appealing releases in the scene right now."

From The Stranger: "Their hiphop stands alone; a totally exotic plant with thick roots that are nourished by heavy metal and the heavy mental."
"...it is their electrifying performances that certify them as one of the finest rap groups in the Pacific Northwest, both live and on tape."

From Seattle Times: "I predict one of the following Seattle hip-hop acts will get national recognition in 2006: Blue Scholars; Cancer Rising; Common Market."

From Disheveled Magazine: "Rhymes, Funk and Rock Riffs? Hells Yes. Search For The Cure Will Make You Shit Yourself."
"...Having been affiliated with the local hip hop scene for over a decade I can honestly say without any sugar coated bullshit that these cats are the truth..."

From MercurialSound.com: "...they are the best hip-hop group in Seattle."
