From The Stranger: "Seattle stalwarts Cancer Rising (DJ TilesOne and MCs Judas and Gatsby) know their position is easy to take for granted—they even have a song called "Underestimated." Truth is, though, that if CR stopped making their 206-centric hiphop tomorrow, Seattle would lose its premier smart, credible, regular-guy rap group. "

From XLR8R Magazine: "West Coast hip-hop strikes back! Well, upper-upper West Coast, that is. Straight-outta-Seattle heavy spitters Gatsby (son of legendary producer Larry Mizell) and Judas, together with DJ TilesOne, form the Voltron robot of Cancer Rising. Ripping through 13 cuts of caustic MPC-meets-live-instrumentation hip-hop, the trio brings the brouhaha with a searing amalgam that conjures vibes of Jurassic 5, Dujeous, Blackalicious, and Eminem. Note to all the non-believers: Check the ruff 'n' rugged tag-team jawn "Pocket Check." Seattle is on the come up, fa' sho!"

From The Stranger: "Thanks to major releases from the city's best artists, 2007 has been Seattle hiphop's biggest year so far, and Cancer Rising's second album will bring the curtain down. Featuring DJ TilesOne and MCs Judas and Gatsby (also known as Larry Mizell Jr., Stranger hiphop columnist), the veteran crew spans the spectrum of NW styles but keeps it cohesive. A little angry, a little goofy, hard-rocking, deep-funking—Cancer Rising has one foot in the scene's roots and the other somewhere totally original."

"Their hiphop stands alone; a totally exotic plant with thick roots that are nourished by heavy metal and the heavy mental."

"...it is their electrifying performances that certify them as one of the finest rap groups in the Pacific Northwest, both live and on tape."

From KEXP: "Cancer Rising, consisting of rappers Gatsby and Judas along with DJ TilesOne, is slowly becoming a Seattle institution. Since their first recording in 2003, it has been a straight shot to the upper echelon of NW hip-hop. Beyond the solid lyrics and powerful vocal delivery, CR lays down layers of rock and funk that few musicians in the genre dare touch. Most importantly, these guys save their best for the stage, putting other rappers to shame from Bumbershoot to Roskilde and booking supporting roles for international acts like on the recent Wu Tang tour. Essentially, if the stars are aligned, this should be a breakout year for Cancer Rising."

"Whether they're contemplating their part in life or controlling the life of the party this Seattle hip-hop group always comes correct with their rock and soul flavored tracks..."


From Seattle Weekly: "Consisiting of MC's Judas and Gatsby and DJ Tiles One, Cancer Rising have infiltrated the forefront of Seattle's burgeoning hiphop scene thanks to a steady work ethic, some choice live shows, and several releases..."

"The local trio's Search for the Cure is hip-hop made by people who like rock just as much, and is one of the most appealing releases in the scene right now."


From Seattle Times: "I predict one of the following Seattle hip-hop acts will get national recognition in 2006: Blue Scholars; Cancer Rising; Common Market."

From Seattlest.com: "We love this album's sampling (Grandma's Boys!), we love the deliberate, pounding beats, we love CR's new stylin' sound. This is great material from Gatsby and Judas and it's more than worth your $$."

From Disheveled Magazine: "Rhymes, Funk and Rock Riffs? Hells Yes. Search For The Cure Will Make You Shit Yourself."

"...Having been affiliated with the local hip hop scene for over a decade I can honestly say without any sugar coated bullshit that these cats are the truth..."


From MercurialSound.com: "...they are the best hip-hop group in Seattle."
