BIG REC: REAL HIP HOP IS BACK!!!

About Me

BIOGRAPHY:
Since mediocrity has become the standard in rap music, it's obvious why many believe hip hop is dead. Real hip hop enthusiasts longing for balance in music can now breathe easy: welcome BIG REC (aka REConcile). Now based in the ATL, the New Orleans-born/Oklahoma-bred emcee is poised to help push groundbreaking hip hop to the forefront. Possessing one of the most commanding voices since KRS-ONE, REC intends to make a definitive mark in music...period.
Equipped with an incredible lyrical delivery and an undeniable presence, REC simply moves people. Having shared stages with the likes of Devin the Dude, Juvenile, Paul Wall & Michael "5000" Watts amongst several others, BIG REC has become a well-known fixture in the mid-south region for his high-energy performances & lyrical prowess. His debut LP "Chronicles..." birthed notable classics "Nostalgia" & "(Life Is a) Process". The album garnered favorable reviews for its balanced display of positivity, diverse content & storytelling.
REC's sophomore LP, Go Hard...The Album [LIMITED EDITION], is a tribute to his home of 13 years, Tulsa, Oklahoma (aka Thuggtown). Taking his artistry a step further than his freshman effort, "Go Hard..." maintains his well-known respect for the artform, while adding commercial viability to his repertoire. The regional anthems "Go Hard" & the "Go Hard REMIX" (featuring some of Oklahoma's best talent) literally dominated Oklahoma airwaves for the majority of 2007. REC's artistic diversity shines most on the soulful collaboration "Can We Talk?", a tutorial on approaching ladies, featuring up-and-coming R&B/Soul superstar CoCo Jones . This third single is consistenly garnering strong reviews, and is said to be cutting into the female fanbase of hip hop legends LL Cool J & Common.
Now backed by InnerCircle Entertainment , the veteran emcee of the Firstborn Productions team is winning fans with his brand of positive music, fusing "underground" and "mainstream" hip hop to create his own lane. From the clubs to the backpackers, from thugs to wack rappers, REConcile meets you where you are to bring you back to the true essence. With the BALANCE of hip-hop in question, BIG REC is the answer you've been looking for. REAL HIP HOP IS BACK!
