"Dear David,

Thanks for submitting the material for the evaluation.

WOW - great job David! These songs are as strong as anything on the radio in the rap genre.

All of the bases are covered - music, lyrics, rapping, beats, etc... I am very impressed.

The lyric "loose lips sink ships" ("Livin' In The Jungle") made me smile, as that's a common expression for one of my favorite Uncles. It made me think of him. So that was cool. :-)

I only have good things to say about your music. You are doing a great job and if you keep working hard to get it out there from Colorado to the world, the sky is the limit..."

-Eugene Foley of Foley Entertainment Inc., consultant/advisor to over 40 Gold/Platinum Record & 3 Grammy winning artists/producers. One of the most respected advisors/authors in the music industry, evaluating Block Scholars songs; "Livin' In The Jungle", "Never Repented" & "Lyrical Extermination". www.FoleyEntertainment.com 10/13/09-

"There is some knowledge you cannot get in school, it comes from experience. Block Scholars use lessons learned from their personal trials and tribulations to teach the masses through their music. Having blessed the raw funky production of Slimdog on previous collabs, MCs NOBULL and 2mental officially united with the producer in 2008. The result is a group that hopes to use their allegorical street tales as an instrument of change. The head-nodding beats are a nice bonus."

-Block Scholars, "Livin' In Tha' Jungle" Reviewed by Dan Vidal URB.COM 3/10/09-

"The Block Scholars are a hardcore Rap outfit hailing from Colorado Springs. For us, they really came out of left field, and we were pleasantly surprised when their music ended up in our in box last week.

So far what we have heard is a wide array of various songs, in various styles, all put together extremely properly.

There is a lot you need to know about these hustle hard motherf***ers (including a dope Podcast they do), So we will be unveiling it over the course of this month, in fragments.

But for now..."

-THE COLORADO RAP REPORT 3/16/09-

"Music Comments: David Bell, Jr. bangs out high tech and an instrumental foundation on his large cd. It's about the rough and tumble hustle of the street, full of harsh thoughts and conscious hip hop chops. The ep has deep and timely lyrics about keeping it real. The highlights on these tracks occurs when he gets into the musical quality of the melodies, with techno backbeats and deep vocals to back his message...We look forward to receiving more tunes where this came from!"
