After years of laying the groundwork including touring, MC battles, mix-show play and circulating underground CDs, THE FRONTLINE present their Penalty Recordings/Infrared Music debut, "Now U Know" featuring the hit single "Bang It!" produced by hitmaker E-A-Ski & CMT. THE FRONTLINE is the latest hip-hop phenomenon to take over the Bay-area - THE FRONTLINE is ready to bring their unique brand of hip-hop to the masses.
"I heard "Bang It," "What Is It," and "Uh Huhh" on the radio, and couldnt wait for this album to come out. Frontline is talents, but above-average production, and very good lyrics. Locksmith got 2nd in an MTV Rap Battle Tournament, but was robbed of 1st, he clearly should have won. Left, the other member of Frontline, is also a good rapper, but Locksmith sets the mic on fire with some of his verses. These people really represent the Bay, so go out and buy"
Good CD. Period.

"I don't need to hear the bay this the bay that. I know damn well I am SICK and TIRED of hearing 50 and Em on the radio. They are bout as tired as a newborn baby. Every song sounds the same...Em can't find anymore people to make fun of so he brings that dumb insult dog in...people are comparing 50 to a gorilla more and more every day. This stuff is fresh, crunk beats, clean flows, and a lot of great songwriting go to make this record great. I doubt 50 or Em can break their sameness now. The Massacre might have been a big seller but that don't make it good. Same goes for Encore. You get Bang It! all the way to New York and see how fast they get a major label deal. Hopefully they won't get Em/50'd up. Face it masses...they do suck! Get Frontline and you'll know what I mean"
BANG IT!!!

"this cd is so sick i cant even explain it... the lyrics are pretty typical or rappers today, with some exceptions, but what really makes this cd are the beats... EA-Ski and CMT are incredible on this production, and if you like funky, sick stuff then this is for you... the best songs on the cd are as follows:
7) Stomp 'n' Clap
5) Now U Know
11) let's go
8) what is it
3) bang it
this cd is definetly worth the money... BANG IT!!!"

"Spittin' REAL lyrics that contain REAL substance!!! That's what the FRONTLINE is all about. Folks have had this stereotype about rappers from the BAY for a long time...but these 2 young cats have definitely helped with this BAY AREA MOVEMENT that we're seeing right now.
