"Groove Stu has hit the mark with their debut album "Authentic 4.10 Sessions". This album offers hearty helpings of Soul, Hip Hop, & Reggae. My favorite cuts are Maybe Tonight and Anything, these two are guaranteed baby-makers be careful. I highly recommend this album. You won't be disappointed."

"This album is blazing. It gives you everything you could need in a band and even more. The versatility of the band is amazing. They go from hip-hop to a jazzed-up R&B, to Soul and then on to Reggae. If you are looking for a cd that can move with you from mood to mood than this is the one to buy. It is a guaranteed great buy!!!!!!!"
The STU is steaming in Charm City... Spread the word!

"Groove Stu...This is an awesome array of music put together by these young people.It is one of those CDs that you can pop in for any mood setting.The remake of "Am I Dreaming" was a great randition to some of the others that are out on the airwaves. I am definitely feeling the duets, each one give you another level of understanding of where this group is coming from. The tracks that I repeat are Something,Gone 4 good,I don't know,curiosity,cool with you and most definitely maybe tonight.Take a chance on GROOVESTU,they wont let you down."
Very Impressive Debut!!!

"I recently saw Groove Stu open for Motown soul artist Donnie in Baltimore, and was blown away. Their live show was absolutely awesome. And so is their album Authentic 4.10 Sessions. On the album they take you through a range of different emotions and musical styles. Very much like their live show. Musically they give you hip hop, reggae, soul, and unbelievable ballads. You will not be disappointed. Pick this album up."
