Gotee Records
After the Grits John Reuben was the second hip hop act to be
signed to Gotee. The label has released all of his albums.
Debut Album
John Reuben's first album for the Gotee label was "Are we
there yet?" released in 2000. Soon to be followed with his
second album "Hindsight" (2002).
Nominations: GMA

"Word of Mouth" (2007) at the 39th Annual GMA Dove Awards.
Also nominated in the category "Rap/Hip Hop Album of the
Year" is the record "Word of Mouth". The award ceremony is
held on April 23rd, 2008.
Style
His fifth release for Gotee Records the album "The boy vs
the Cynic" (2005) meant a style change for John Reuben,
since more rock influences can be heard on the album. The MC
can also be heard more singing than rapping on some
tracks.
Videos
John Reuben released the video "Word of Mouth" on February
13th, 2007. This is the first animated holy hip hop video.
The video is made by a friend of John, Chris Oatley, who
worked 5 months to make the 3 and 1/2 minutes video.
New Project
John Reuben and Gotee Records announced the project Sex,
Drugs and Self-Control set for 2009 with the release of four
videos and audio singles monthly,
exclusively through iTunes. The debut song “Town Folk”,
available in both video and audio formats on July 14th,
2009. Shortly after, on August 18th, the song and video for
“Jamboree” will also be released.
Singles: Video
Both videos, directed by Jeremy Hughes for Elevate Pictures,
aptly show Reuben’s
lighthearted nature, while exploring the ideas he paints in
song. “Town Folk” visualizes
several Old Testament stories, including Sampson, Daniel and
Elijah via the imagery of a
traveling circus. “Jamboree” features 4 humorous settings
gone wrong.
Concept New Album
“This album is full of many questions that I have been
struggling with over the past few
years,” explains Reuben. “It felt often like there was a
tension. Artistry, career and faith
seemed to be standing at odds with one another. Sex, Drugs
and Self-Control is really
about basic questions. Questions like ‘Am I talking about
honesty more than I’m actually
being honest?’ Everything seems to come back to these
questions and trying to
understand how art and faith can work together.” |
