The Network is the new album from T.R.A.C. This kicks off on the right note with 'Top Of The Morning (Intro)' an upbeat rap track that makes you want to get up and get on down!

'Step Rite On In (Featuring Baron Aka Drue Davis)' and we're starting to get a flavour what this album is going to be - and it's starting to feel good, real good.

'Wicked City' has a more gritty, urban flavour to it - and we're starting to see there are many strings to T.R.A.C.'s bow!

'The Risin' (Featuring Baron Aka Drue Davis)' is infectious and urges you to get on up and dance.

'Ms Geenie (Featuring Stitch 7)' and we have a more traditional rap track but with a T.R.A.C. twist. This is a catchy tune that you'll have a job getting out of your head.

'Tel-Lie-Vision (Marc Mac Intermission)' and we get a musical interlude that highlights T.R.A.C.'s sense of humour. The sampled dialogue is amusing - while frighteningly real at the same time.

'For The Love (Outro)' and I can't think of a better way to wrap up this wonderful collection of songs.

There's just over 54 minutes of class music here - spread over 15 thumping tracks. Even if you're not a hip-hop or rap fan this is worth checking out.
