After kicking out several solid, underground mix tapes, The Warriors drop a hot debut with 'The Art Of War'. The Texan trio have already gained big radio airplay Stateside and collected a dedicated crew of fans. Deservedly so, as their debut album aptly weaves up-front rapping with refined bass laden tracks. Check "Brand New" for a luscious piano riff and soulful vocal pointing heavenward. "Set My Soul Free" drops an infectious hook, set to make any dancefloor melt with delight. From start to finish it is clear that these guys have a heart to minister to people and the music and talent to back that up. An excellent, thumping debut of a punch.
