Since I have started this blog it has been very interesting
to meet so many artists from different regions of the states and each with a
unique kind of story. This group you
will find has a distinct sound like no other they talked with me to share some of
their personal life ambitions and took me through a journey of how they got
started in the music industry.
This group known as Tha Reapaz right out of Philadelphia has been in the music industry
for about a year and a half. When asked”
Where they got their name from? They simply answered “wanting to take the game
over”. Tha Reapaz consist of two male friends who even though they have been
together musically for a year and a half maintained a personal friendship for
over eighteen years. Their music is far
from basic it shows aggressiveness, lots of energy and portrays a deep message
of what’s going on in their lives. Tha Reapaz describes their music under the
genre of rap, hip-hop, and rock.
They have started a huge fan base at home which they not only
just do performances and make music but also support other artists from
Philadelphia as well. One of their biggest show performances was the Biggie
tribute in New York City. The concept of
their music is based on the emotion that one can feel, also if you ever get the
opportunity to watch this group perform you will experience that emotion
portrayed on stage. When I asked them how the economy has affected them with
sales, they replied “The economy can’t affect us as long as we are working”.
Even though the economy has affected the industry as a whole they continue to
stand beside it not letting that detour them from making music.
The advice that they have for the youth today is “Continue to
stay in school have a business plan, Family is important, be mindful of who
your friends are, life is about how we get back up after we have fallen and how
we deal with it and how we can become a better person and stay motivated.
Tha Reapaz musical influences come from a variety of artists
and different genres of music. They both are involved in the writing process of
their music starting with an idea and collaborating that idea together to make
a masterpiece. The image of their songs are energetic and strong. The most
favorable song that they like to perform is a song called “Suicide Rhymers”
that can sometimes bring out an aggressive edge to it. One of their goals five years from now is to
be performing at the Grammy’s and possibly win one as well.
Tha Reapaz also shared with me one of their most embarrassing
moments when they knocked a hole in a venue wall while knocking over an elderly
person while performing on stage. Having experienced some stalker type fans
with weird phone calls, but none of this stops them from continuing to perform
for their fans.
Definitely be on the lookout for this energetic group that
has no fear but has awareness and doesn’t plan on stopping anytime soon. Want
their music to be known for change and influence and to show the world that
hard work really does pay off. Also working on an album “Welcome to the
Nightmare” that their fans can expect to be out soon.
