"Mad Ro Represents the champion of untapped suburban talent. Mad ro are the kids their audience wishes they could be if they could spit or make beats like Arcturus. Jigga and Nas are not spitting these kids experiences."

“While rap and hip-hop trends have the music climbing in and out of the gutter with super poppy boy-band rap at one end and pop-a-cap-in-your-ass gangsta rap at the other, Mad-Ro and 208 Underground Northwest stay as true to their brand of hip-hop as they did when they first started in 1998. They show a real love for their music and their lifestyle and they definitely know how to hustle everyone (in a good way)-even me.”

“From Boise, Idaho--yes, land of potatoes)--Mad Ro brings as much heat and flavor as any main stream artist. Each cut is packed with great lyrical style and heavy bass. Check them out. You have nothing to lose and it's always great to discover a group before your friends do.”

“OK, I’ll get off this subject soon, I promise… but Michael Deeds has a good scoop in the Scene today. KZMG is now playing KSAS’s so-called “exclusive” of the Mad Ro “Amp It Up” BSU anthem. “Magic stole the song from Kiss!” Mad Ro rapper Chris “Arcturus” Jameson explains, sounding not very mad. “They downloaded it, they wiped off the Kiss FM tag, and they’re playing it all over their station now.” That’s hilarious.”

“KSAS is now giving some serious spins to Mad Ro’s “Amp it Up” BSU anthem. After my post last week, I noticed that Michael Deeds also wrote a little bit about the genesis of the song. It’s a good read. Mediabase reports that KISS played the song 48 times in the last week, making it their 16th most played song. I’ve listened a couple more times… it grows on you.”

“Arcturus of Mad Ro has a new single – “Nasty,” from his solo effort “Word.” It’s getting some rotation on KTPZ/Music Monster 99 – and on KSAS/103.3 Kiss FM. I’m kinda losing my taste for hip-hop of late, but the song has a decent hook, and good production value. And what would we do without MySpace? Hear from Douglas Cameron, Built to Spill or Arcturus. That’s four local stations playing three local acts. GOOD local acts. Here’s to more!”
