One of the most successful freestyle groups, TKA brings to the music confident beats crossbred with heart-on-sleeve, bleeding male egos. Discovered while the three youths entertained at a Sweet 16 party by singing over hip... more »-hop instrumentals, TKA were an early inspiration for the sped up, Latinized hip-hop that birthed the freestyle phenomenon. All the hits here pit lush, romantic vocals against immaculately polished beats and synths. Like all the best freestyle, TKA's hits get inside the teenage mind through the lyrics and the teenage body through irresistible dance grooves. --John Sanchez« less

"If you want a cd of non stop tracks that always please your heart and mind, this is it. EVERY single song on here is good. Where else, especially today where you get a cd for one song and the other 12 or so are terrible, are you going to find a cd actually worth the money. This cd is like downloading every single good song TKA ever made and burning it onto a cd, except it is done already, making this cd legal lol. When you listen to these songs you can't help but to think of someone you dated and then broke up with over a stupid reason and wish you had back, because they strike the heart. They make you realize what to appreciate in the person you want to spend the rest of your life with. Definitely buy this cd, no matter age or race or gender."

"If you were like me in 1990 and you drove a mustang or acamaro then you had TKA playing on your tape deck bomming through your kicker box. Z Caverichhi pants were in and you were set all I needed was my TKA and I was set!!!"

"TKA goes back way in the day when Freestyle was called Latin Hip Hop and this compilation shows what amazing high-quality productions they, with their label Tommy Boy, put out.
The first 6 of the 14 tracks on this best of all come from their debut album - amazing that their first album resulted in 6 12" singles and excellent releases with killer beats and innovative production. Their subsequent releases also include some top freestyle material (You are the one, Give your love to me, & the melancholy touching Louder than love). Please note the version of Tears may fall is not the original mix but a remix (which I find less powerful than the original). I'd recommend a release of TKA's 12" freestyle mixes of all their freestyle hits on CD - their extended mixes include some pumping hard beats and great edits"

"This is TKA's best - every song is a hit from the the days of freestyle. The best thing of TKA is a lot of their songs have individuality - they don't all sound the same. Their lyrics are strong and their beats are powerful. I think of my ex girlfriend everytime I listen to this cd for how much the lyrics make you reflect on past relationships. I wish TKA was still producing freestyle like this."
