Hometown: Jacksonville, Florida
Latest Single: Uncle Reece’s latest single, “Until I Pass Out”, is making history. In the short time the song has been out, it has already reached #21 on gospel billboard charts – a phenomenal feat for an independent artist, without a full project to reference, and no major backing to speak of. “Until I Pass Out” was written by Uncle Reece and produced by acclaimed Grammy Award Winning producer Jon Jon Traxx (Beyoncè, Brandy, Sugarland). It is a radical but relevant message that explodes from the speakers to ignite the hearts of true worshipers. The gritty beat, clean vocals, and the relentless attitude it possesses compels listeners in all walks of life to worship.
The Music: Uncle Reece’s music is unique because it is born out of an authentic place of worship. His goal is to portray the freedom and love that has been shown to him though Jesus Christ. Uncle Reece lives every word of his music for that reason; fans connect with him on a spiritual and physical level. Uncle Reece’s sound is a mixture of Hip Hop, Soul, R&B, Gospel and Contemporary Christian. His sound is derived from many different musical influences such as Outkast, Tye Tribbet, Mali Music, Jah Cure, Bob Marley, and Michael Jackson, amongst others.
The man behind the music: Growing up in the tough streets of Jacksonville, Fl trouble always seemed to be knocking on the front door, however, through resilience and God’s great plan “Reece” seemed to maintain the balance defeating the status quo that easily befits inner city kids. This young man, known for his old soul later gained the name “Uncle Reece” from friends and family for his wisdom and charm. Life has thrown its fair share of highs and lows from a five-year straight “F” high school student to a straight “A” college graduate, business owner, and Billboard top 30 recording artist. Uncle Reece would not be who he is today without God’s divine intervention, a praying loving family, and encounters with people whom he describes as “Real Christians”. These men and women through persistence and habitual coaxing eventually managed to show him what God’s love is and what it means to live a holy and acceptable life. His mentors helped mold him into a fearless, unashamed and “sold out” man of God proclaiming the goodness of Jesus Christ throughout the world at large. He attributes most of the reason why he came to God was because of envy. The relationship these individuals had with this “Jesus” seemed too good to be true and out of pure curiosity lead him to God’s footstool. Like most young people, the influences of this world led him astray at first. Tired of going through the motions of everyday life and the desire of wanting a real one-on-one experience with the Lord, in 2004 Reece succumbed to God’s grace and became whole. One night, things drastically changed and Uncle Reece found his place in God’s grace worshipping on the roof top of Florida State University’s campus. That night he felt the presence of God like he had never experienced before - Uncle Reece literally worshipped until He passed out!
WJIS: His movement doesn’t stop at the music. “Without Jesus I Suck!” is the T-shirt Company co- founded by yours truly, which currently has 287,000 fans on Facebook and has sold over 10,000 shirts worldwide. WJIS (Without Jesus I Suck!) reaches more 1.5 million a day and has shipped merchandise to over 25 different countries. The shirts have been on CNN, FOX NEWS and have been worn by Gospel Artists such as Tye Tribbett, Mali Music, Donnie McClurkin, Mary-Mary, and more.
I Can't Help MySelf
Uncle Reece Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I an't here to judge nobody.
Some of y'all looking depressed,
Soaking in your problems,
Worried about tomorrow and tomorrow isn't promised.
My worship is for real,
I'm Just being honest.
I choose to foucus on the one who saved my soul.
And I, Turn up, Turn up, Turn up, Turn up, to another level, We goin, give Him, all
the praise cause their an't nobody better. We goin, Turn up, Turn up, Turn up, Turn
up, to another level, We goin, give Him, all the praise cause there an't nobody better.
Can't help myself, Can't help myself, Can't help myself, When I get to praising up
in this place. I loose my breath, I loose my breath, Can't help myself, When I get
to praising up in this place.
Can't help myself, Can't help myself, Can't help myself, Can't help myself, Can't
help myself, Can't help my self, When I get to praising up in this place.
(I loose my breath)
Praise Him till I,
Pass out and hit the floor.
Get up catch my breath ready to worship some more please don't look at me funny,
because I get excited,
When I jump around the room instead of judging you should try it, we goin, do it
like a shotgun ready to blow spin around on the ground like a merry go, turn down,
I can't, worship goes hard in the paint.
What we do is not a hobby and I don't care about who's watching, Its my life and
I'm goin live it, Its my praise and I'm goin give it.
And I, Turn up, Turn up, Turn up, Turn up, to another level, We goin, give Him, all
the praise cause their an't nobody better. We goin, Turn up, Turn up, Turn up, Turn
up, to another level, We goin, give Him, all the praise cause their an't nobody better.
Can't help myself, Can't help myself, Can't help myself, When I get to praising up
in this place. I loose my breath, I loose my breath, Can't help myself, When I get
to praising up in this place.
Can't help myself, Can't help myself, Can't help myself, Can't help myself, Can't
help myself, Can't help my self, When I get to praising up in this place.(Hallelujah)
I can't help myself. I want You and no one else. I need you like a fish needs water.
Like the flowers need rain, take everything. I'm completely Yours!
We have the light,
that can save the entire world. (Hallelujah Lord Oh)
We have the light,
that can save the world. (oh We)...(Hallelujah Jesus... We have the light...)
The lyrics to Uncle Reece's "I Can't Help Myself" convey a message of joyous worship and a deep devotion to God. The song begins with Uncle Reece acknowledging that he is not there to judge others, and encourages listeners who may be struggling to loosen their worries and focus on God's goodness. He speaks of turning up to another level of worship, of praising God with abandon until he is out of breath and falls to the ground. He urges listeners not to judge him for his ecstatic worship, but to join him and experience the joy and freedom it brings.
As the song progresses, Uncle Reece's lyrics become even more fervent, describing how he needs God like a fish needs water or flowers need rain. He asserts that his worship is not a hobby, but a vital part of his life that he is proud to give to God. The chorus repeats the phrase "Can't help myself" several times, emphasizing the idea that the joy and passion of worship is an irresistible force that takes hold of Uncle Reece and his listeners.

Thats great news my young friend . I will say this endure until the end that is when we are saved . It can be a set up to believe one is saved before they actually are saved because saved is when we are let into God's Kingdom after judgement . All Praise The God of Isreal The Most High God 1 and only True Living God Our God !!!!!
@blueskyy7125
Stay with Jesus Christ sweetheart, always and forever. When times get hard, when you don't understand, when you are disappointed. Remember Jesus loves you and he'll always be there for you. Never leaving you nor forsaking you is his promise to you. 🙏💛

Thanks to everyone that came out to make this video possible! I had a lot of fun!
@victoriavictoriously
Hey Uncle Reece. I enjoyed this song. I especially enjoyed the worship section at the end. Please take this suggestion into consideration: I believe that if you make that last section into a worship song, it would be beautiful. I already love it. It would be nice if you could. That's all.
