The world had heard Bone Thugs and Harmony even before that, but I think Twista has been doing this speed-rapping before that. Adrenaline Rush is a true classic, one of those albums that change the game, come out with a different sound. This album came about an year after Twista made huge impression on Do Or Die's album 'Picture This', where he totally ripped it on the 3 songs he appeared on (he completely stole the show on that album). On 'Adrenaline Rush' - it's a whole other story. Actually he had an album, under the nickname Tung Twista a few years earlier - that album made some people pay attention to Twista style, but it wasn't a bug success. This album, released in 1997, is not his first. All that is necessary for a good classic hip-hop / rap album is found here. Adrenaline Rush contains all the ingredients to make an album successful commercial hits, underground appeal, street songs, production and flow. Twista's flow, lyrics and overall performance here is underestimated and is stronger than the later commercial / mainstream albums that recently had been released. Hearing a variety of flows instead of the constant flow 'No Remorse' featuring Speedknot Mobstaz, Link & Turtle ended this album with a high note. 'Get It Wet' featuring Miss Kane is another mainstream song as he talks of getting close to the ladies.

The thriller track on 'Unsolved Mystery' is a song of fury where Twista took it to the street with murder and the opposite as he speaks on survival on 'Korrupt World' featuring Side Effects of Psycho Drama. 'Mobster's Anthem' featuring Speedknot Mobstaz is good crew song with the sample of Dr. 'Overdose' is actually the overall highlight of this LP as Twista had to be cut off with his overdub vocals with the same rapid fire flow. The title track featuring Young Buck of Psycho Drama is a good opposition of flows between the two as they share verses as stated in the beginning '.what happens when you combine the darkness with the light.?' This album was entirely produced by The Legendary Traxter and enhanced Twista's flow over songs such as 'Death Before Dishonor' with lyrics such as '.with a paint brush / that a nigga can't trust.' The highlight of this album is hearing his flow over the slow, R&B tracks such as 'It Feels So Good' and both versions of 'Emotions'. 'Intro' is almost conjure of the feelings and intensity put into this album. Formally Tung Twista on debut album now simply goes by Twista for his sophomore release Adrenaline Rush with the signature rapid flow.
