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".

Lines doper than your favorite trapper
But who gives a fuck? Bitch, we wanna see you shake somethin'
Ain't havin' surgery, ain't tryna fake nothin'
Huh, good luck, boo, now you stuck too
Her talent could kill all of your weapons real
But we ain't listenin' to shit without the sex appeal
I had a convo with Layla, sharing some of her wisdom with me
Came to kick it with me, talent, she wasn't missing any
Lady 'Pac and Biggie, but still underrated

Anyone getting upset over the Mac line realize he was mentioned only to illustrate Reasons point. So many young aspiring rappers fall victim to addiction, Mac was the biggest and most relatable example of this. TDE artists and Mac had great relationships and more importantly respect for each other. This isn't throwing shade, its bring enlightenment to a dark and real problem going on in this country/music industry. Well done Reason. This entire track was crafted with clear intent that did not miss its mark. RIP MAC

On point
Two.Strokes
He disrespected him bro, the dead, u don’t do that. I understand is point but he made it before and after he mentioned Mac, there was no need.
Dan Zimage
@Two.Strokes I didn't interrupt it as disrespect. He mentioned his name to illustrate his point about the tragedy of Mac's death. Art is subjective I get why you perceive it how you do.
jose calixtro
@Two.Strokes he didnt disrespect hes using him as an example to try and stop people from doing what mac did
B- Head
@Two.Strokes what Dan said. You perceived it as being disrespect when it really isn't. If thats how u feel no one can change that but i can guarantee you there he doesnt have a REASON to disrespect mac miller
Grlghastly
Personally, I believe he was addressing larger issues in the music industry. The name dropping Mac was in no way disrespect. He’s spitting some real shit and it’s getting people talking forsure.
Aesop
I mean Mac's dead and he's using him to get views/reactions. And in that he's using his name in a derogatory way. Also, he implied that his fame was hype. He had and remains to have a loyal fanbase. No he is being disrespectful. That's being straight. I wouldn't break a sweat arguing over it or anything but I do think it is intentionally disrespectful.
Tjay D
Mark Harrison stop reaching
Aesop
@Tjay D its not reaching at all its pretty simple and concise logic. You don't think saying that "they made him do it" doesn't at all diminish one's own mental health and independence? Its disrespectful. That's not reaching. People are fanboi'ing and being edgy because homeboy is being edgy. Can't say I get on people's hype i just tell it for what it is and it's disrespectful. Words mean things
