Esta pegao!

"With Gotcha, DLG is showing that they can cover all styles, up to and including bachata. Each album impresses me with the ease in which they handle, blend, and move back and forth between salsa, R&B, hip hop, house, reggae, and now bachata. The neoyorkino feel for all these flavors is evident, and they seem just as strong with any of the styles. My favorites include 'Angeles', 'Gotcha'. 'A Veces Me Pregunto', and 'Eres Mi Vida'. Fraga's raps flow seamlessly on that last track, and Huey and James always show and prove. Plus I think it's dope that they're bringing Chika and Cyndi to the forefront as well, letting them show skills. The result is a CD that's got something for everyone and can turn you on to different styles that you may not have been a fan of previously. Chacho, este CD esta pegao!"

DLG got a hook on me, por supuesto!

"I have all three of these guys albums and am proud to add Gotcha! to my collection. All I got to say is they better be nominated for a Grammy this year, and they better win. The only song I can complain about on the album is Angeles, the cheesy theme song from the Telemundo "drama." It sounds like a cheesy knock off of the "Love Boat" theme. Just skip that one and listen to the other nine songs. Volvere makes me cry, Acuyeye makes me tap my toes, Gotcha! makes me merengue, and Huey makes me swoon. He has the most incredible, expressive, silky, sexy, romantic, sincere, tortured voice I have ever heard. You all should all listen to this album and buy it as soon as you can. I look forward to buying their English language album scheduled for release in January of 2000. Swing on, guys!"

Great fusion!

"This work is pure synergy, the combined energy of hip hop, caribbean, rap and latin rythms combined to create explosive beauty. All songs are not to the level of De Oro and Acuyuye, but then again, those two are so great they'll keep some of us impatiently waiting for their next album."
