Album Review: E. Reece; Album: "Next Up"

Review of album for E. Reece

Lately, it’s been popular for some people to say that, hip-hop is dead. As if a musical genre so firmly rooted in the underground culture could go away easily with a bang or wimper.

The fact is that true hip-hop will never die.

True hip-hop heads will be happy to discover that its ‘recovery’ is solidly in the hands of new generation artist like lyricist, songwriter and poet, E. Reece.

His brand of musical medicine is Ayurvedic in its philosophy; meaning it relies on organic and holistic remedies rather than a ‘quick fix’ get rich theme.

On his most recent released album entitled, “Next Up,” he displays rich musical background and appreciation for genres in and out of hip-hop. His self-described message of love, respect, truth and honesty come through in all his words. These concepts are rarely delivered with more natural funk than on this album.

The artist known as E. Reece is a proud proponent of underground music. He understands that this is where the true funk lives and he continues to work hard to keep his name out there.
