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".

Pick it up, wait

Nigga came way, way up now (whoa)
Hoes got six like touchdown (whoa)
Get hit like diamonds, bustdown

Caught niggas stealin' my stuff now (true)
I can see me in a lot of these niggas
Shit start to feel like Us now, wait (wait)
Nigga so focused, head on straight (straight)
No new friends, nigga, dead on weight
Hoes on Ray Charles, treat it like baseball
Knock it out the park, then I slid home safe
Knock it out the park, then slid on home
Reason on fire, can't do no wrong
These niggas gossip, I just want profit
Came from bottom, I just want lobster
Need my mama up in a Benz, no stress, no problems
Niggas talk shit, no comment
Niggas ain't really did half the shit they rap 'bout
Nigga, you ain't never caught no bodies
You ain't never sold no drugs
Nigga, you ain't never popped no Molly
You ain't never, wait
If I really, really said everything niggas ain't did
I'd be ancient, you niggas ain't shit
Came from the basement, glowed up
Smokin' on stank shit, roll up
Niggas got capes on, hold up
Stop savin' hoes that don't wanna be saved
Comin' up as a kid, I was tryna be Jay
I was tryna be Ye, I was tryna be Wayne
Now kids say they tryna be REASON (REASON)
Feel good, nigga still can't believe it
So when I'm at shows, I
Flick it up
I done worked hard, ain't did enough
Got a new bitch, ain't thick enough
New new whip, gotta flick it up
Flick it up, flick it up
Nigga flow sick, ain't sick enough
Got a new bitch, ain't thick enough
Tell her drop down, then pick it up
Pick it up, pick it up
Nigga, who? (Soulo), nigga, what? (Yeah)
Your jaw just dropped, ma, pick it up
Pick it up (pick it up), pick it up (pick it up)
I got at least infinity flows, abstract, asshole
Ab-soul infinity stone, end game for my enemy, yo (hah)
Pen game Incredible Hulk, big fangs, incredible bark
Big dawg on T-O-P, R-A-P G-O-D
Wait, this shit is easy as winning a spelling bee spellin' the letter B (ayy)
H-i-p H-O-P S-A-V-E-D me, man
Amazing grace
You made your bed and I made my plate (eat)
Fuck is you thinkin'? Benjamin Franklin
Face to face to face to face, face the fact
'Fore I hit stages, all of my wages minimum
Then I dropped the track that made 'em feel me like a cinema (oh)
How 'bout that?
Now I'm just killing 'em, grave so low, can't dig it up
Where your casket at?
Look at my bitch, ass so fat, can't pick it up (pick it up)
Pick it up (pick it up), pick it up (pick it up)
Pick up the pacemaker
Your heart ain't strong enough, brain ain't smart enough
Gang ain't hard enough, dollars ain't long enough
Promise I'm droppin' a gem, you should
Pick it up
I done worked hard, ain't did enough (Soul)
Got a new bitch, ain't thick enough
New new whip, gotta flick it up
Flick it up, flick it up
Nigga flow sick, ain't sick enough
Got a new bitch, ain't thick enough
Tell her drop down, then pick it up
Pick it up, pick it up
I done worked hard, ain't did enough
Got a new bitch, ain't thick enough
New new whip, gotta flick it up
Flick it up, flick it up
Nigga flow sick, ain't sick enough
Got a new bitch, ain't thick enough
Tell her drop down, then pick it up, bitch
The lyrics to Reason's "Flick It Up" speak to the rapper's rise to success and newfound confidence. The song is an anthem for those who have worked hard and made it, yet still feel like they haven't accomplished enough. Reason highlights his new possessions like a "new bitch" and a "new whip," but also acknowledges that they're not quite up to his standards. He proclaims that his flow is sick, but not sick enough, and invites his partner to drop down and pick it up.
Reason shows his sense of humor in the second verse when he brings in fellow rapper Ab-Soul to take over the mic. Ab-Soul boasts his infinite flow and game-ending abilities with his pen, but also calls out those who claim to be rappers but have never sold drugs or caught a body. He also references his rise to fame and the way hip hop helped save him from a difficult past.
Overall, "Flick It Up" is a braggadocios song that showcases Reason's confidence and success, while also nodding to his past struggles and the industry's tendency to exaggerate.

Then I dropped the track that made 'em feel me like a cinema (oh)
Releasing a successful song that connects with fans
How 'bout that?
Boasting about accomplishments
Now I'm just killing 'em, grave so low, can't dig it up
Being so successful that others can't compete
Where your casket at?
Challenging others to compete
Look at my bitch, ass so fat, can't pick it up (pick it up)
Boasting about having a desirable partner
Pick up the pacemaker
Asking others to keep up with the pace
Your heart ain't strong enough, brain ain't smart enough
Insisting that others can't compete
Gang ain't hard enough, dollars ain't long enough
Having superior skill and financial success
Promise I'm droppin' a gem, you should
Promising to release great music
Pick it up
Reminding listeners to take advantage of opportunities
I done worked hard, ain't did enough (Soul)
Still feeling unaccomplished despite hard work
Tell her drop down, then pick it up, bitch
Giving explicit instructions to a partner
