Having had his fair share of hardships, P. Reign a.k.a. “The King of Da North” knows all about overcoming adversity. Losing countless friends and family to gun violence and incarceration, he has managed not only to make it out of one of the most notorious neighbourhoods in Canada, but also to position himself at the forefront of Canadian music although I’m sure being able to call Drake a very close friend doesn’t hurt.
It’s the phrase “Loyalty is Priceless” that has kept the 24 year old Guyanese descendant grounded, among childhood friends, and has created a foundation for music and a movement that is just as real as the surroundings that shaped his life to date; it’s no wonder this phrase can be found tattooed on every member of the Reps-Up team. Created 7 years ago in the heart of Kingston and Galloway otherwise known as G-way, the Reps quickly gained a reputation in the streets throughout Toronto, a reputation that would ultimately lead to its demise. Dismantled by court cases and tragedy, P. Reign was consequently led to develop his own distinct sound and pursue a solo career and is currently touring throughout Canada and allowing his music to spread internationally.
The spirit of what Reps-Up was built on continues to blossom through the music. With an extended family that is as strong a supporting cast as any, P. Reign continues to make music that both women and men love (no homo on the latter). With a catalogue that would give your favourite artist a run for his money, song writing has never been difficult. P. Reign’s music address the complexities of street life, both good and bad; that of women, and the relentless pursuit of what he had never imagined growing up. His current single “In My Hood” produced by T-Minus (Ludacris: How Low) was released in spring 2010 and is blowing up the charts on FM radio in Canada and internationally. The video, directed by Sharpshooter released later on in the summer build a sensational buzz online across North America and was featured on numerous websites and blogs where it received nothing but positive feedback. The video for “Call My Name” was released in October 2010 exclusively on Thisis50.com and will be followed with the release of the mixtape When it Reigns it Pours on Nov 1st, on Thisis50.com as well!
To date, P. Reign has shared stages with the likes of Keri Hilson, T-Pain, Rick Ross, Flo Rida, Jasmine Sullivan and more.

Realest In The City
P. Reign Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On my way downtown for the girl who got the guarantee
Man I kill the town, seven seater in the Cherokee
White on white ghost, that's my little Amber Rose
Let the top peel back, let ‘Sauga see the map
Little shawty from the way used to have a thing for me
Take the bricks up out the Benz, now the whole team straight
Yeah the whole team hot
Yeah the whole team hot and you know it
Its paper, we blow it
Those niggas I roll with they got the thing for the 40
We riding through (yeah) that’s what you ‘posed to do (yeah)
When you the realest
The realest niggas in the city
The realest niggas in the city
The realest niggas in the city
I wouldn't say realest nigga alive
But I don’t know none of these guys
The realest niggas in the city
These bitches there, they rolling with me
'Cause all the realest niggas they in the city
Would say the realest motherfucker alive
But I don’t really give a fuck about those guys (oh yeah)
Raising hell when I wrote this in the cell and posted bail
Man my boy just got convicted for a M and got an L
When yo mama got a rap sheet as long as yours you know its real
Got a package through the mail
Whipped that then sold it to the mayor
I turn peasants into kings, I made winners out of losers
Say you love me, better suck me, I turn women into Hoovers
Praise the Lord hallelujah, Jesus pieces from the jeweler
Hate me, screw ya
Bitch I started as your favorite rapper shooter (Brap, Brap, Brap)
It’s cold in the city, roll with a milli
Grind on 10, be home in a minute
Rap so long I could blow any minute
Just met a new chick that’ll blow if I’m with it
Ride for the Reps, dirty money baby life is a mess
No ice on ya chest, I can tell why you’re stressed
But I’m busy getting paid, I connect your connects
The realest niggas in the city
The realest niggas in the city
The realest niggas in the city
I wouldn't say realest nigga alive
But I don’t know none of these guys
The realest niggas in the city
These bitches there, they rolling with me
'Cause all the realest niggas they in the city
Would say the realest motherfucker alive
But I don’t really give a fuck about those guys (oh yeah)
This right here that trill shit
This that shit the hoes like

Counting paper for the whole night
This that take yo girl shit, California was a long flight
Rodeo Drive spent 85 on my day one’s, they load twice
To be blessed by the best
3 Guns nothing less
We on, fuck the best
And all my niggas want the check
The money and power plus the respect
And I promise nothing less
I’m repping my team, I put my whole hood on this cream
They gotta fuck with that

'Cause all the realest niggas they in the city
Would say the realest motherfucker alive

Uh, uh, uh

The song "Realest In The City" by P. Reign is a hip-hop track that talks about the streets and the life of people living there. The song references "Sauga City," which is a nickname for Mississauga, a city in Ontario, Canada. P. Reign talks about his status as the "realest" in the city, highlighting his luxurious lifestyle, expensive car, and connections with powerful people in the industry.
In the first verse, P. Reign describes how he drives his luxurious car through the city, attracting attention and admiration from people. He also mentions a girl, whom he is probably going to meet downtown, and how he plans to impress her with his lifestyle. In the second verse, P. Reign talks about the harsh reality of living in the streets, where people live through illegal means, such as selling drugs or engaging in criminal activities. He mentions a friend who got convicted for murder and his mother, who also has a criminal record.

Sauga City trill one time
Sauga City, let's keep it real for once
On my way downtown for the girl who got the guarantee
Going downtown for the girl who always comes through
Man I kill the town, seven seater in the Cherokee
I dominate this town, cruising in a 7-seater Jeep
White on white ghost, that's my little Amber Rose
My white Rolls Royce is like my own Amber Rose
Let the top peel back, let ‘Sauga see the map
Let the top down and show off our city
Little shawty from the way used to have a thing for me
This girl from the same area used to crush on me
Take the bricks up out the Benz, now the whole team straight
Took the drugs out of the Benz, now we're all good
We ain’t speaking for the city, we just talking bout the block
We're not representing the city, just our neighborhood
Yeah the whole team hot
Our whole team is on fire
Its paper, we blow it
We spend our money as fast as it comes
Those niggas I roll with they got the thing for the 40
My crew likes to carry .40 caliber guns
We riding through (yeah) that’s what you ‘posed to do (yeah)
We're just cruising like we're supposed to do
When you the realest
That's what happens when you're truly authentic
Raising hell when I wrote this in the cell and posted bail
Caused chaos when I wrote this from my jail cell, then posted bail
Man my boy just got convicted for a M and got an L
My friend just got found guilty of a major charge and got a long sentence
When yo mama got a rap sheet as long as yours you know its real
When your mother has a criminal record as long as yours, you know it's serious
Got a package through the mail
Received a package by mail
Whipped that then sold it to the mayor
Processed it and sold it to a high-ranking official
I turn peasants into kings, I made winners out of losers
I elevate the underdogs to royalty, transforming losers to winners
Say you love me, better suck me, I turn women into Hoovers
If you love me, you should pleasure me, I can turn women into vacuums
Praise the Lord hallelujah, Jesus pieces from the jeweler
Thank God, I have jewelry with Jesus on it
Hate me, screw ya
If you hate me, forget about you
Bitch I started as your favorite rapper shooter (Brap, Brap, Brap)
I began as a hitman for your favorite rapper
It’s cold in the city, roll with a milli
It's dangerous in the city, carry a million dollars with you
Grind on 10, be home in a minute
Work hard, then quickly return home
Rap so long I could blow any minute
Been rapping so much that I could snap at any moment
Just met a new chick that’ll blow if I’m with it
Just met a girl who will perform oral sex if I'm with her
Ride for the Reps, dirty money baby life is a mess
Repping our crew, making money in an unethical way, life is chaotic
No ice on ya chest, I can tell why you’re stressed
No bling on your body, I can see why you're anxious
But I’m busy getting paid, I connect your connects
But I'm busy making money, I can also connect you with my contacts
This right here that trill shit
This is genuine, authentic
This that shit the hoes like
Women enjoy this kind of music
This that make that mill shit
This is the kind of music that earns millions
Counting paper for the whole night
Counting money all night long
This that take yo girl shit, California was a long flight
This is the type of music that can steal your girl, California was a long trip
Rodeo Drive spent 85 on my day one’s, they load twice
Spent $85,000 on my closest friends, they can carry twice the weight now
To be blessed by the best
To be blessed by the best
3 Guns nothing less
Guns are always necessary
We on, fuck the best
We're at the top, forget the competition
And all my niggas want the check
My crew wants to get paid
The money and power plus the respect
Having money and power earns you respect
And I promise nothing less
I promise nothing less than success
I’m repping my team, I put my whole hood on this cream
Representing my crew, I'm using the money to benefit my community
They gotta fuck with that
They have to respect that
Word up we the
We're truly authentic
Uh, uh, uh
Ad-libs
Realest motherfucker alive (We the realest)
The most authentic person alive (we're the realest)
We the, We the realest niggas
We're the most authentic crew
Realest motherfucker alive
The most authentic person alive
We the realest
We are the most authentic
We the realest
We are the most authentic
We the, we the realest niggas
We are the most authentic crew
