After releasing a few mixtapes on Soundcloud, east side rapper and poet Reyes††† finally makes his Spotify debut with the project PResen†e, an EP that finds him collaboratin with SAAVEDRA and Kheb to provide an update on his life and the reflections that run across his mind. PResen†e starts with “Asistencia Perfecta”, a song that serves as perfect introduction for those who haven’t listened to the rapper as he shows his rapping and spoken word skills. Next, “Busca Diferente” finds the young artist reflecting on the present and future as he raps on a beat influenced by psychedelia, electronic and Latin sounds. Afterwards, “Doble Moral” presents Reyes††† continuing to expand on the sounds presented in the previous track while reflecting on conscious hip hop, weed and the current Puerto Rican political status. Then “Nunca Superé” shows the musician exploring love-fueled lyrics in another psychedelic rap tune. Finally, the EP closes with “Cuidate la Mente”, a dance music, psychedelia and lo-fi influenced boom bap song that suggests listeners to practice self-care.
Overall, Reyes†††’s PResen†e is a nice reminder to listeners that the young artist is still present and experimenting with different sounds to expand his growing discography. In addition, the project also displays the musician’s personal and artistic growth as he slowly comes back to the scene.
