Since his initial release in 2003, Exposition has garnered both critical acclaim, and international fanfare. Blending live instruments with hard beats and conscious lyrics. On his first record the hip-hop concept album: "THE METRO" (produced entirely by the D-Boyz) follows Expo through A Day in the Life of an everyday Urbanite, riding on the train. When the record initially dropped it received great reviews in such publications as "Beautiful Decay", "Subculture Magazine", and Boston's "Weekly Dig" among others. The album sold thousands units across the U.S, Europe, and Asia. But after the second pressing in 2005, it was shelved due to circumstances beyond his control. Since recording "The Metro" Exposition has gone on to record 3 more albums (one solo, and two with his award winning band Audible Mainframe.) But the people keep asking for "The Metro."
Enter Wage Records, a San Diego based record label who stepped up to the plate to re-release this long desired album, and give it the push and promotion that it always deserved.
Just two years after dropping The Metro, Exposition put forth his Sophomore LP, Take a Penny, Leave a Penny. Like his debut, Penny is highly inspired; not only in the lyric department, but in terms of the canvasses that Expo gets to paint on. On his solo outings, Expo writes freedom manifestos that celebrate hip-hop and inspire socio-cultural revolution. The party vibe still burns, but more so than on Audible tracks his own albums are deep collections of poem-driven rhythm; the sort of new millennium New England native tongue baths that few rappers still deliver.
To date Expo and his live band Audible Mainframe have played shows with such national and touring acts as: Common, Damian Marley Slick Rick, Jeru tha Damja, Immortal Technique, Boot Camp Klik,Lyrics Born, Arrested Development, Devin the Dude, Kool Keith, The Coup,Royce the 5'9, Cage, EDO G,Tame One, Zion I, DJ Logic, Mr Lif and Akrobatick (The Perceptionists) and others
Yes – there are a lot of underground rappers. And sure – many of them flood their rhymes with anti-establishment riot baiting. But few of them have the natural rhythm or highly accessible lyrics that Exposition packs into each verse, effectively luring you toward his cause and emotion.
