Album Review
On his third release, Professional Rapper, John Reuben forges ahead with pleasing grooves that bring the funk. Cuts like "Move" and "Treats" are likeable rhymes with Reuben frolicking in lyrical comedy, while cuts like "I Haven't Been Myself" take a more serious stance. Reuben's use of guitar riffs and Spanish-sounding horns on the tune "This Life" make for a unique number, while the cut "&Freedom to Feel" utilizes a very heavy drumbeat and eerie background nuances bringing the funny man to full center with a supernatural aura.Professional Rapper is a mixed bag of musical and lyrical diversity. The disc is evidence of a grown-up rapper who can still have fun, but who can also deliver the goods with social enlightenment.

Masterpiece of an Album
Amazing album from an amazing artist. Mr. Reuben has advanced from his first album to Sex, Drugs, and Self-Control, but I think Professional Rapper is his most ideally diverse and listenable album. Bangers like Move and Treats get me moving (lol), Time to Leave is absolutely amazing lyrically - John captures so many deep concepts in rap form that I end up drifting into simultaneous states of jiggyness and a daze of thought.
And then, the golden jewel. 5 Years to Write. This song is astounding. The backing track is chill, and John puts into words a boatload of emotions associated with young love and vulnerabily. I get chills every time I listen to the second verse. Absolutely amazing.
