I have listened to the CD in the car...what I remember of it (amongst other dozen of discs in your case) was that I found it a bit commercial (not a dirty word in your case) and the vocal arrangements were excellent ( I would not expect anything less). - Walter Combi - USA Artistic & P.R. Director

Power Fam is hot. If they’re discovered by the right person this hip hop threesome’s spark could ignite a fire that runs rampant across the country and around the globe.
CL, Syze, and Bug were united by music. Three years ago the group decided that they would come together to execute a powerful mission that could potentially change hip hop. However, unlike so many artists who rule the genre these days, Power Fam is dedicated to gaining fame as a positive role model to the community.
The group understands that the people who listen to music are affected by the lyrics, and they’re devoted to keeping their own lyrics positive. These potential revolutionaries sing about loyal monogamous love, world peace, and the issues of abuse against women amongst other things.

This song is well put together and solidly produced. It has a memorable hook, engaging verses and good energy and delivery on the performances. The voices fit nicely with each other. Don't Stop is uplifting and motivational; many will be able to connect. Overall, good job and all the best with your project. - TAXI

CL, first of all, thank you for your promptness in getting the cdz out to us. The promotional material is on time. You brotha’s have it together… I like where you are coming from. I showed your stuff to a couple of other radio host’s here at the station and they applaud you as well! I’m going to play “Don’t Stop” this Saturday on the show. The song is great! It has all the elements of soul, rap, hip-hop and funk! The song should be an Anthem for any positive youth movement. Part of the click is hitting’ on me too. You fella’s are going to have me listening to more rap than I ever have (smile).

The show went fine, as it usually does. It was our spring membership drive, so I was not able to play as many songs as normal. I did play “Don’t Stop” and it had the people in the studio with me jumpin’! Everyone liked the song. I told my listeners that I normally don’t play much rap/hip-hop on the show, but because this song is slammin’, I’m going to make an exception. I got response that people liked the song. It stood out from the other funk that I play. Again, YOU GUYS HAVE A HIT ON YOUR HANDS! I will play it again next week. Keep up the good work. Skip - Skip the Funktologist/89.3 Denver Colorado
Hi CL. Wow! We got the Power Fam press kit. You’ve got some great projects man. I’m already in love with the music. In fact, I’m immediately taking it to the media houses for airplay. To be honest, your music is really hot and I have guys here who are asking who you guys are. “What I’d Do, Part of the Click, CL’s Lab and Ride” are all strong possibilities for spins with several radio stations here in Africa. We will do our best to promote your music so that when it comes to air the adverts, you will be well know in Kenya. If you are popular, you will be all over the media here when you come to perform the concert on behalf of Take Heart Association. Thanks and God Bless. - Justin Kimany Mwaniki, Special Events Coordinator
