What people think about Strate Crooked.... "Ryhme with a reason. Edgefull, impactful, punch throwing lyrics over staccato beats. Deep emotive songs with a boxers cadence." Mixing Engineer for UO Productions -Filo "Strong hip hop, dense. A distinct sound...international projection." Journalist for “Siglo XXI” -J.P.Dardon "No one escapes from the acoustic hypnosis that this music provokes in its listeners...lyrics, through which they attempt to send a message of consciousness to the public. Strate Crooked, one of the most popular in the country." Reporter for “Prensa Libre” -Alfredo Vicente "A powerful and well delivered rhyme. The album was produced under high quality control. Their proposal is positivity." Journalist for “Al Dia” -Andrea Taracena "Great sound mixed with great lyrics. Makes you think. Perfect balance between sound, lyrics, and style.
