"The Bomb tape is full of raw talent. I'm sure there will be some record
deals coming out of this. It's time someone exposed some of the underground
styles and concepts of the groups." - Flavor Magazine
"This comp proves once again that the rap magazine known as The Bomb brings
out the best in the Bay Area..." - Thrasher Skateboard Magazine
"The Bomb Hip-Hop Magazine brings itself one step closer to establishing
itself as a Bay Area legacy. Beyond the magazine, and the memorable underground
shows, comes the Bomb Hip Hop Compilation - a collection of mostly Bay Area
artists that each throwdown a mesh of different styles and sounds." - URB
Magazine
"It's only natural that The Bomb would produce a superior compilation of
unsigned Bay Area rap acts. The disc has several things going for it: First
and foremost, it's an A&R man's dream - we're talking 12 unsigned rap groups
with a regional diversity that ranges from the hip-hop hotbeds of Oakland and
San Francisco to the lessor known environs of San Jose and Davis. The musical
and lyrical variety is equally as widespread: Ruffneck, tarmac-ready anthems
mix with quirky, spaced out vibes and gritty, basement-born funk." - SF
Weekly
"Congratulations to the Bomb staff for completing a pimpy idea." -
Klub Magazine
"The Bomb, the Bay Area's crucial rap publication, assembled this 12-artist
sampler as a statement of hip-hop independence, not as a declaration of war.
The style here is pure street, rough and rugged with great production value.
This compilation should ignite a local rap community long overlooked by mainstream
sources." - The Metro
