The Reverend Robot hails from the church of rhyme. Once a normal human, he has now been rebuilt into a new, better, faster lyrical machine. He lays down some great remixes and mash-ups to rap to. You’ll hear hip-hop remixes of songs by groups like Crystal Castles, Gorillaz, and RJD2. I was first drawn in by the hip-hop remix of Dirty Harry which has an asian twist. He’s also known to team up with his colleague, Jenova7. Jenova7 creates some new, fresh beats for the Rev. When this super duo comes together, they evolve into the group Jenovatron.
Rev. Ro has dropped his debut album “Sermons Vol. 1: Infinite Capacity.” The thing I love about this album is that all the songs are different. You have “Baptism (By Fire)” which should appeal to the electronic fans that love clubbing. Then you have “Infinity Guitars/Hold The Line” which is more for the rock fans. He even has a chilled out track produced by NOUN called “I Can Do Everything” for fans of downtempo electronic or mellow music in general. Of course, all of his songs should rope in the hip-hop fans. The beats may be by other artists, but the rev. chose unique beats that grab your attention. His superb rhymes are all him baby.
Remember, the Reverend will only get stronger with each passing day.
