Dussel Has Friends: “American Made” — New York 5-piece hip-hop outfit Dussel Has Friends offers two flavors of the rock-infused track “American Made” - Mashable.com
More observational and less rabble-rousing and bile-filled than RATM, this is still a cracking example of the way rap and rock can crossover to produce music of quality. In short, it rocks - Whisperin And Hollerin' #2
This is no slick digital studio mass-market lamecore effort: lyrically, 'American Made' is a credible tale of tough living in the 'hood, delivered with a real punch and absolute sincerity. Musically, it's a genre-straddling amalgamation of hip-hop, rock and more, played on real live instruments. - Whisperin And Hollerin'
James Donald takes us on a trip through the eyes of America’s next generation, a troubled generation; a generation of unbridled teenage sexuality, a generation of rampant drug abuse, a generation caught up in the midst of a deep existential vacuum. James is backed up perfectly on the 1’s and 2’s by Vinny Previti and Sid Nicolas who lay out a hypnotic rolling beat not to mention the hauntingly brilliant guitar of Rich Nardo which sounds off like an alarm, triggering flashbacks of the 70’s rock scene blends perfectly with the funky bass lines of bassist, Ricky Cody. - Comfort Comes #2

"I’ve feel as if I’ve been hit in the side of the head with a cinder block full of beautiful sounds. I’m starting to see all sorts of psychedelic colors and smell the nagchampa incense burning just beneath my nose. No, no it’s not a drug induced hallucination it’s the new single from Dussel Has Friends - Comfort Comes
This is conscious hip hop similar to Handlebars by Flobots, the intensity is infectious and by the time the track is finished, you wish their EP was out. Basically, this is what Lil Wayne's Rebirth album wishes it sounded like. - Tasty Fanzine (UK)
