When it comes to rappers John Reuben is hands down my favorite. He is able to mix humor and be straight forward on tough subjects all at once! As of late Reuben has really been improving.
When it comes to Reuben's albums one of his best was his very first, much like Jars of Clay. however after his first album he dipped into a direction that i am glad he didnt stay in with "Hindsight". "The Professional Rapper" went in a more of a rock rap direction with some solid tracks but then he really hit it off with what i still think is his best album to date in "The Boy vs. The Cynic". With "Word of mouth" he went a bit more on the experimental side of things which was fine, some odd tracks, but cool. and now we have "Sex Drugs and Self-Control".
With this album i am a bit lost, im not sure what to hold on to while i listen to this album...but i love it. Some tracks im not exactly sure what he is talking about, maybe thats the point, none the less within the mystery of this album there is solid lyrics, humor, and outside of the box music! overall i would say his 2nd or 3rd best album, for sure up for best between "Are we there yet?" and "The Boy vs. the cynic".
If your a rap fan and your looking for something that isn't just a DJ with some beats and rhymes then John Reu is the man for you! (ya i just dropped a rhyme within this post). check out some tracks on you tube or the Gotee site, i recommend confident or no be nah! have a good one.
