"Turbulence has been 'threatening' to release his group's, Higher Tribe, album for awhile and Join Us, which is officially a Turbulence release, is Higher Tribe's debut album. Overall, for such a young group you have to be impressed with their talent and you have to be upset that the cd doesn't make a larger distinction of showing who is who, despite the number of pictures it has (would have loved a caption record company) (Boogalusa) Now all that being said, Join Us is Turbulence's finest piece of work to date, undoubtedly boasted by his group's influence. The best tune is the brutally honest Based on A True Story, where Turbulence shares the story of his pure conversion from former troubled youth to upstanding Rastaman citizen. Also really really love the 'softened' dancehall tune Look Wock which is probably where Higher Tribe shows just how High they can get, Look Wock is crucial. We Are is a very good tune as well, also check Black Woman. The thing about Join Us is that where in the past, all of Turbulence's records were devoid of Bad songs, (they did include mediocre ones) Join Us, is all stellar tracks on top of stellar tracks, really really high production value, but laid back still makes Join Us a great one.
Overall, while undoubtedly The Future and Hail to My King will be the 2 albums that will be pushed the greatest this year from Turbulence, Join Us may prove to be his finest piece of the year, and maybe his finest piece ever.
AMAZING! GO GET IT!"
