Artist Name: R.E.U.B.
Song Title: Dance Machine 3007
Label: Heaven On Earth Entertainment LLC
Production: The Clinic

Born in Ghana, West Africa, R.E.U.B arrived in the United States under political asylum and was raised throughout much of the east coast, from Maryland to New York. Though R.E.U.B may not speak his mother’s native tongue, his music definitely speaks the language of many. Most who first hear the rapper/producer compare his lyrical content and flow to artists such as Common and Little Brother. Listeners will also appreciate a style and diversity, as beautifully schizophrenic as hip-hop legends Nas or Tupac delivering equal parts of rawness, intelligence, honesty, and just straight fun. Therefore, it is no surprise that everyone from hip-hop purists to industry insiders are beginning to take notice of this artist that chooses not to have a “rap name” but better suited to his
business acumen and personality, an acronym based on his birth name: R.E.U.B ( Real Entrepreneur in the Underground Business of hip-hop). According to DJ Swift, “He will no doubt achieve the legendary status of KRS, Rakim, Tribe, De La, etc. because he’s real and he’s doing it right… fresh beats and on point lyrics.”

R.E.U.B uses his music not only to move bodies but also to heal others. He uses hip-hop as a religion through testimony, redemption, and, of course, controversy. R.E.U.B knows first-hand the struggles of being harassed as a young child for being ‘different’ because of his culture. Whether he was living in government housing or a middle class neighborhood, R.E.U.B raps about these experiences and many more in such a raw way that most people wouldn’t dare to. And like R.E.U.B often says, “my life is an open book”, and The (Black) Rapper Show is part of the first chapter of many that he is fearlessly allowing everyone to read.
