STAND OUT is 857s first commercial CD. Here 857 delivers their talent, diversity and the story of the every man with this album packed with radio worthy singles. From a song with Rasta sounds "Up in here" to the beat nick sounds of "3 stages of hell" to the metal mania of "Wing man" 857 shows over and over that they have no limits. Though gone is the "we can do anything" feeling from the underground days; in its place is the feeling of urgency and seriousness in their direction. STAND OUT evokes deep emotion and poses questions that today's society should be asking .Over all 857 is far ahead if it's time reaching back to grab the best parts of groups like the furious 5, public enemy and de la soul mixing it with contemporary beats and high quality production
