Props to ReuM

Reuben Morley (aka ReuM), a scouse rapper for who I have a ridiculous amount of time and respect for, announced on the 21st May that he is getting signed! He has put in so much hard work in everything he has done. From Brightest Light to his more recent work on his collaboration album, JakexReuM, he is a truly talented rapper.

What ReuM said:
"Since February I've been doing music with another guy called Jake who sings and plays guitar. We've wrote a lot of material and ended up getting quite a big fan base locally among Christians and non-Christians.

We performed a gig on Sunday night with a live band (drums/keyboard/guitar etc) and it was brilliant. We decided the CD we're working on would have to be recorded in a proper studio because a live band would make the album so much better.

Anyways, on Monday we were approached by a Christian record label! We had a 90 minute meeting today and it's happening - contracts are being drawn up now. It's exciting times.

They're going to give us the money to take to a complete studio, sell our music in HMV/Tesco/Asda and any online site you can think of (Rhapsody, Rolling Stones, Itunes, Amazon and many more...) They're going to get us gigs in bars all over the area including the o2 Academy 2 (Where Akala/Lupe have performed).

There's a lot of other stuff they'll be funding including merchandise and all that. And the best thing is, it's a 50/50 on profit. We thought we'd end up getting like 30% but no, it's half, half!

I know it's a real blessing from God with what's happening. Our new style is definatly making people stand up and take notice which is brilliant, hopefully it just keeps getting better.

Guys who aren't signed (and are better than me (M-Trey springs to mind)), don't give up. In the future when we get more exposure and are more known in Liverpool (I can guarentee from this deal we will) I'll want some of you on my tracks. I wouldn't be in this situation if it wasn't for a lot of you!"


Really, this guy more than anyone deserves it, props to him and I hope he goes far, keep reppin' Liverpool man!
