If you’ve been waiting on some new good music the wait is over! On August 10th, we were granted an exclusive sneak peek into Reason's brand-new masterpiece, ‘Porches,’ during an electrifying listening party that lit up South LA. If the name Reason isn't ringing any bells, allow us to introduce you to this bonafide lyricist. Back in January 2016, he came onto the scene with his inaugural mixtape, "The Free Album," grabbing the attention of hip-hop heads far and wide. And just a few months later, in May, he dropped yet another sonic gem titled "There You Have It," showcasing his mind-blowing rap prowess.

But here's where destiny truly smiled upon Reason: his fateful encounter with the visionary Moosa Tiffith, his manager. Brace yourself for this: Reason teamed up with musical titans like Mozzy and Sjava for Kendrick Lamar's chart-topping hit, ‘Black Panther: The Album.’ Talk about a come up! Riding high on that collaboration's success, Reason scored an invitation to join the ranks of Top Dawg Entertainment, a powerhouse collective housing luminaries like Kendrick Lamar and ScHoolboy Q.

Fast forward to today, where Reason finds himself at the helm of his very own album listening party, signed under one of LA's top-tier record labels. ‘Porches’ is more than an album; it's a tapestry manufactured from smoky soul beats and vibrant narratives. But then again, what else can you expect from the lyrical genius that is Reason? With guest appearances from the likes of London Moet, Ray Vaughn, Doechii, and more, we knew we were in for a night drenched in fantastic melodies and soul-lifting vibes.

Reason shares a heartfelt speech during the listening party for his new album ‘Porches’ on August 10, 2023.

As custom cocktails named after album tracks flowed the bodies in the crowd swayed to the intoxicating rhythm of Reason's new masterpiece. And just when the energy was at its peak, Reason made a spectacular entrance into the celebration. He began by expressing heartfelt gratitude for everyone's presence, setting the stage for the musical journey that Porches was about to take us on.

When he unleashed the track "FTN!" featuring Baby Tate and Junii, the entire venue came alive. The silky R&B vibes and the mesmerizing melody crafted by the hands of Hollywood Cole captured hearts and transported us back to the golden days of the early 2000s. Paying homage to his cherished California roots, Reason unveiled "Family First," a collaboration with Kalan.Frfr, SiR, and Zacari. This masterpiece, produced by the talented Supah Mario, not only showcased their adoration for their loved ones but also put their naysayers in their place.

After treating us to a few more musical treasures, Reason took the stage once again, this time to honor the friends and family who stood by his side throughout this artistic journey. With a heart full of gratitude, he presented them with bottles of Herradura tequila, a symbol of their collective triumph. ‘Porches’ isn't just an album; it's a rare gem that boasts impeccable production, lyrics dripping with substance, and an overarching message that resonates deeply. If you're on the hunt for music that's as pleasing to the ears as it is to the soul, look no further—this masterpiece is now available on all streaming platforms.
