4) Reason (HUNGARY) was founded in 1994 by Attila Horváth, Gábor Dudás and Attila Barna. The early days were characterised by an experimenting attitude towards music, however, in three years’ time the band developed its own style.
Their first demo was recorded in 1995 under the title “National Porno”, but it was not until the next year, when they finally found their own path with the help of their new keyboard player. At that time the band grew more serious both musically and textually, which is represented in their second demo called “Moonlight”. The material received positive critics in the Hungarian Metal Hammer magazine. Their main influences have always been bands like Type O Negative or Paradise Lost, but at the same time they have been inspired by musicians and artists of entirely different genres as well.
The following years were predominated by playing in various clubs in the country and in Budapest as well (e.g. Riff-Röff Rockklub). Besides, 2000 saw the birth of their third material called “Broods”, which did not prevent them from having temporarily abandon the band. After a period of one and a half years it became clear for two of the founding members, Gábor Dudás and Attila Horváth that they can imagine their future musical activities only within this band.
Finally, after a number of changes in the line-up, Reason has reached its present state. In 2005 they finished “Captive of Dreams” and were planning to record their first album. Recently, they have played mainly in Budapest (Marco Polo, Red Hole, Woodoo), but they also had a chance to play in festivals like Night of Doom (in Debrecen) and Gothica V-VI (Petofi Csarnok).

5) Reason (AUSTRALIA)
Having withstood the test of time, Reason continues to personify both tenure and standard as one of Australia’s true veteran’s of the underground Hip Hop scene with 15 years experience under his belt. The Reason story reflects true preservation of his belief in maintaining a constant yet positive presence.
Reason practices what he preaches by promoting positive content in a context that is truly street, yet with a personal message contained within. A lover of graffiti, politics, life and the environment, these are examples of the diversity that the listener envelops into their own conscience. Reason released his third LP 'One Step Ahead' in 2004, following on from Reography (2002) and Solid in 1999. Reason also released the EP “Life’s A Lesson” in 2006, featuring a bevy of international and local guests. August 2008 saw the return of Reason with his latest offering entitled "The Tides are Turning".

Some soul shit, yeah
Look
A lot of niggas pray for whips while hopin' to get their cheddar raised
Uh, I'm just prayin' for better days
They hit the block with Glocks and let berettas spray
Damn, I'm just prayin' for better days
My older cousin been dabblin' in cocaine sniffin'
Love him to death but feelin' like I can't hang with him
Went to Atlanta to hopefully get some change with him
Woke up the next morning, the nigga chain missin'
Oh well, pray for his safety but hardly miss him
Shame that when I make it we can't be Bacardi sippin'
'Cause the drugs got that nigga living with a foggy vision
And I'm tryna make a living with mics like Scottie Pippen
So many friends that I'm starting to lose
Prayin' my crew don't become a party of two
Progression seem tight but like gears on a bike
Boy, when you switch up that's when it's hardest to move
'Cause niggas clown Drake for being so sentimental
They see the same nigga over every instrumental
Niggas spittin' raps 'bout pointin' gats out tinted windows
Knowin' they ain't never owned a pistol
A lot of niggas pray for nice whips while hopin' to get their cheddar raised
Uh, I'm just prayin' for better days
They hit the block with Glocks and let berettas spray
Damn, I'm just prayin' for better days
My older cousin been dabblin' in cocaine sniffin'
We should be headed to new Bugatti lane switchin'
Instead he bangin' that neighborhood and gang livin'
And blow a nigga brains out if they don't bang with him
This the same nigga I ate Captain Crunch with
Neighborhood got him feeling he should pump lift
'Cause it's sixties for life, niggas never jump ship
But he'll jump you when off a Xan and blunt hits
It's for anybody strugglin' lookin' for better blessings
Reminisce to when I was hoopin' and droppin' dimes
Now I ain't carry TECs or no automatic weapons
But we're shootin' every day in school, that's Columbine
Damn I'm missin' responsibility, never present
As you get older, every mistake is your hardest lesson
Lost three hunnid dollars fuckin' with my old bitch
If I did that shit now, a nigga be homeless
So shit, it's so many women love to hate a nigga
Made 'em believe a dream 'til it drove him crazy, nigga
I'm focused on gettin' better, don't wanna go crazy with him
Like a dollar on a budget, please Lord, save a nigga
A lot of niggas pray for whips while hopin' to get their cheddar raised
Uh, I'm just prayin' for better days
They hit the block with Glocks and let berettas spray
I'm just prayin' for better days
I wish I could show my cousin a better way
Damn, I'm just prayin' for better days
Just got stabbed and might be headed to heaven gates
Uh, I'm just prayin' for better days
Just got the text, the docs is operatin' on him
Wish I could say I was shocked to hear the news
'Cause he would often have him a couple bangers on him
And karma like movie trailers, it's always comin' soon
Pray for him, hate how he livin' and love him, but never change on him
Prayin' he make it so I could create a way for him
But if he don't, I'll be prayin' on heaven gates for him
Uh, gotta go harder nigga
I don't need new Lamborghinis or wheel stuntin'
All I spit is real, the fans gon' feel from it
I will make it, you will know me, you will love it
So much, will in these raps you think Uncle Phil love it
Competition lackin', every verse I kill something
Music like old pimples, nigga it's still bumpin'
We focused on gettin' bread, my niggas is mil' huntin'
But still givin' that real, these niggas could feel from it
A lot of niggas be praying for whips and to get their cheddar raised
I'm just prayin' for better days
They hit the block with Glocks and let berettas spray
Uh, I'm just prayin' for better days
My older cousin been dabblin' in cocaine sniffin'
I'm just prayin' for better days
Feelin' bad that a nigga can't hang with him
I'm just prayin' for better days
Prayin' for better days
I'm just prayin' for better days
Prayin' for better days
It's still some soul shit
Still some soul shit
Feelin' bad that a nigga can't hang with him
We all fight the same fight
It's for every nigga with a 9 to 5 that they don't fuck with
Every nigga with a relative
And a lifestyle they don't fuck with
Reason
I'm just prayin' for better days
“Better Dayz,” by REASON is a song that explores the theme of hope amidst challenging circumstances. The opening lines reference the materialistic obsession of many individuals who strive for expensive cars and higher income, juxtaposed with the artist’s desire for a brighter tomorrow. The chorus emphasizes this point and highlights the harsh realities of inner-city life where weapons and drugs are a means of survival.
The verses focus on the artist’s older cousin who is addicted to cocaine, which leads to stealing – an action that ultimately puts him in harm’s way. Though the artist loves his cousin, he cannot hang out with him anymore due to his drug use. Additionally, REASON ruminates on the importance of growth and change but admits that it’s difficult when his close friends are not used to that process. He draws a comparison between himself and the Canadian rapper, Drake, who is famous for his emotionally-driven lyrics. Also, he mentions being responsible and present, unlike his past self, where every mistake is a hard lesson learned. The final line about praying for better days brings the song full circle, making it clear that REASON’s ultimate goal is to find a better future for himself, his family, and friends.

These are the kind of rappers that dont get the appreciation they deserve.
@117overcast
Because it's easier for dementia affected old heads to hate on whatever new "lil" rapper in the tabloids than to do the research on good artist who tryna work hard and make genuine music.
@typhlosionisbest
@Goat Sock I don't think that his lack of fame is the fault of old heads that would enjoy his music. I'd blame the industry for pushing carbon copy hype music, and the public for blasting the shit out of it and barely anything else.
@Surayya444

@typhlosionisbest
Shit. I'm 15 and I listen to this certain type of rap on repeat.
