What can you say about PRT that hasn't already been said? These brothas have kept it consistently comin' since the 1980's when they dropped numerous classics, most notably Rock Dis Funky Joint with an assist from fellow Trentonian Tony D. Well 2003 finds the crew no longer dwelling on major labels but more comfortably and no less funky on the Jersey based Exit 7A imprint.

Can You Feel It, as Incredibly did before it leaves no doubt that Wise Intelligence hasn't lost a step. His vocals remain political, engaging, intricate and passionate as ever. Blessed with impeccable production, heavyweight mixdown and free flowing funk track that goes toe to toe with Wise's spitfire delivery, it's not surprising that Can You Feel It? is a success. Their ever present Trenton pride is alluded to, as are past ugliness with major label politricks and disgust with prefabricated industry pitfalls. What we're left with is what we started out with, a talented group that began making Hip Hop music for love and find themselves doing exactly the same all these years later. Poor Righteous Teachers just make music. Period. It woks because it's sincere, indelibly etched into their character and void of any pretentiousness. Poor Righteous Teachers are similar to Chuck D and KRS-ONE in that they do Hip Hop because they are Hip Hop. Y'all get the point.

Can you Feel it? I know I can. I'm confident that y'all will too. Nuff Said.
