welp welpington I play "You Should Know" constantly because it reminds me of the dinosaurs on the birthday cake my aunt baked for me back when my paternal family was actually a thing I really trusted. Dinosaurs on the birthday cake. Thank you Charlie Ross. Love always. We need you too.
- dk Favorite track: You should know.

Croissant James For lovers of the 90s Hip-Hop era, but looking for something forward moving and fresh. Ross does a great job of crafting the beats with just enough edge and rawness to mesh with paying homage to the OGs. Straight fOnk. The solid, focused tone of his voice is perfect to match the rawness of the beats. He doesn’t need to yell to get the message across. Solid album. 👊🏽 Favorite track: Different Breed.

Trevor Mcmanis Mr. Ross' lyrical content reflects sincerity at a high caliber. It has inspired me through difficult times, and motivated me to accomplish my goals. His beats rock hard, and he uses excellent samples. I discovered his work by way of the Charlie Ross Project EP released in 2009. If you haven't heard that, search it out! It is fire, and this is more of it. Thank you Mr. Ross.

Ross keeps it funky as he rides swinging kicks and snares backed with bouncing bass lines. Laced with thoughtful lyrics and straight up gritty beats Ross acheives a sound both nostalgic and futuristic.
