Hip Hop music is an oversaturated market, where everyone's an aspiring

artist, and genuine talent is extremely rare. Standing out among the

crowd takes intangible qualities, extraordinary ability, and a unique

sound. With this in mind, hearing artist Judah the LyricalRev should

be

considered an unusual pleasure. The 25-yr-old phenom and Rockford, IL

native is equal parts emcee and producer. He describes himself as "a

pitcher that can hit homeruns", meaning he is just as fierce behind the

boards as he is on the mic! It only takes one earnest listen to

quickly see that Judah is not your typical run-of-the-mill artist. His

cunning lyrics and neck-snapping production are done with an authority

that

certifies him as the real deal!



Judah found his musical beginnings as a child, listening to records in

the basement with his father. He instantly fell in love with the Soul,

Jazz, and Funk sound of his fathers collection, and after being

introduced to hip hop, he felt an instinctual kinship to the music. He

and

his two siblings started writing raps with the assistance of older

cousins. He soon formed a group with his older sister

(emcee/songstress

VaNatta) and started doing shows locally at the age of 13.



Judah's swagger is one of a veteran, who's earned his stripes in the

field of performance and musical production. His music is infused with

soul, sprinkled with witty insights, and laced with blue-collar themes.

"I represent the common man.its a Midwest thing", says Judah. "What

I rap about is more representative of that average cats life. I write

about things everyday people can relate to". His topics are an

assorted mix, ranging from lyrical assaults, married life, political

critiques, to his faith in God. He seamlessly fuses the elements of

intensity,

honesty, and playfulness together in a way that few artist can. It's

these qualities that make his sound so outstanding.



He credits his major influences to artists like Nas, Marvin Gaye, Black

Thought, Bob James, DJ Premier, Gamble and Huff, and Dr. Dre. Judah is

a throwback to an era of well-rounded skillful lyricism, with beats

liable to cause head injury--all the while rejecting the title of hip

hop

head. Judah does not desire to be categorized as anything. He makes

this clear on the title track of his forthcoming album "It Is What It

Is", where he raps, "As far as my music, dont label it a thing/ cause

Im

past that/ this aint no gangsta, gospel, / or no backpack". He feels

that good music should speak for itself and be for everyone to enjoy.



Judah continues to produce tracks for his sister and a host of other

Rap and R&B artists. His sound and unorthodox approach to music are

sure

to position him as a shining star among Hip Hop's constellations.

Prepare to witness greatness!
