 FINALLY!!!! November 13, 2006

I have been searching for this CD since seeing these two young men on the A train in NYC. I was always impressed by their professionalism, but more importantly their talent. They stopped everybody in their tracks when they started out with the classical and then rocked the house when they included the hip hop element, creating their own form. I happened to catch them last year on Jay Leno and have been searching for this CD since. A random sighting when they were on CSI:NY (yes they are getting around) renewed my search and thank you Lord! I've been playing it all weekend and making everyone else crazy with it too! These two Brothers are gifted and are using the talents given to them; keeping it positive! Keep on movin' and don't stop!

I hate to be the first to write any negative comments about this album but...
I stumbled upon this group one day when I woke up early on a weekend, flicked on the TV, and happened to catch these guys playing Thunder. I was blown away by there performance and sound. A few days later the album was released and I picked it up right away...only to be disappointed. The album has its highlights: Track 1, 3 and anywhere the music is just instrumental. The integration of hip-hop and classical is superb and gves this group a fresh new style. The disappointing part of this album: the rapping/singing/vocals. The rapping is mediocure at best and that is being generous. Tracks 4-7 are cheesy and the rhymes throughout this album are amateur. The remix of Thunder is a waste of a track (the song was solid the first time, why remix it?)
They went to Juliard and Bloomingdale to play the violin (which they excel at) not to rap. My recommendation: Stick to what you do best.
 You can easily get addicted to this. March 14, 2007

I am loving these guys. Tourie Escobar and Damien Escobar known as Nuttin But Stringz are great. The first time I've notice them was in the "Step Up" movie. Even though the scene was short I instantly like what I heard. I took the time to look them up and notice that they've made a few appearances on the day and nightly shows plus a few sitcoms. They combine the classical sound of the violin with Pop, R&B and Hip-hop. The result of this turn out to be one of those unique and uplifting sound with just the right amount of rhythm and intensity. Playing in the subway has paid off for these two which lead them to contribute back to the community by performing and dedicating there time to the kids by discussing music and of course staying in school.
Their first single entitled "Thunder" showcases their raw talent; it digs into the soul, slowly unleashes it and exposes it. "Broken Sorrow" and "Dance with My Father," takes me away and it's simply fantastic. The remix of "Thunder" is very up beat and ended the album rather well. But really there isn't one track I dislike and/or wouldn't recommend. These thirteen tracks might be too small for your liking but impact that it gives you stays on you for quite some time.
Nuttin But Stringz does justice to these genres of music. If you're not that into hip hop or hate the way is going, or have a thing for classical music and want it to flare up a bit then this might give you what you need. I believe kids with the love for music will also enjoy this.

We saw Nuttin But Stringz at the Big E and were transfixed by the music. We bought their sample CD on the spot and searched the internet to see where we could get more. Got the album today and it's great ... not as great as watching them perform in person. Broken Sorrow is the favorite song now but the other tracks are not far behind.
Thanks for Stringing us along !!! November 4, 2006

What a Great work of art or should I say strings!!!
A co-worker shared this amazing cd with me and I just loved it!!
I was compelled to order a copy for myself. I would love to share it with the students during lunch time at our school .
Only If I could get certain songs copied from it, or if there were instrumental songs.
I'm not much for the rappin, but when it is mixed with the strings it's a great sound.
I am so very proud of these two amazing young guys stringing us along with Nuttin' But Stringz. !!
The only thing that could make this cd better ,is if there were an instrumental version to some of the songs. .
I wish we could get them to visit our school when they come to Houston!!!
I know the children would love it and it would be great to see them string us along.
