| Info: | Robert Dryer is 202 and he's here to prove that there is
such a thing as positive hip hop. The genre is often
denigrated by those who misunderstand it as being entirely
about violence and misogyny, but that's simply not true. 202
is all the evidence you need. Combining superb beat work and
lyrical skill with spiritual considerations, 202 is a top
notch purveyor of what Dryer describes as underground
street-hop mixed with christian Hip Hop."
Brand of Hip Hop
Dryer has tagged his brand as a style he calls "Street Think
and his brand emphasizes God, Family and Community" Dryer
says. Whatever this style and movement will come to be known
as, Dryer is a unique and innovative voice both lyrically
and musically.
Fixture
It may seem like a challenge to fuse hip hop typical
attitudinal aggression with spiritual considerations, but
faith is a serious for dimension of many people. And, for
someone with Dryer's talent, it is totally possible for the
mixture to work. You see, the mixture is a fixture.
Presence
Music is an unmovable presence in Dryer's life and so 202 is
able to present an intimate understanding of music, the sort
of passion and artistic power necessary to express one's
feelings at full strength, even if it goes against the
grain. Music is a fixture in my life that has served to make
clearer just who and what I am. Through the sound and
expression of music, I am able to connect to and/or convey
the most intimate parts of my worldview, and entertain and
have fun. His musical expression provides a strong message
for listeners but also rewards the artist with self
knowledge. As I connect and/or convey those parts of me that
I hold most important, I am able to find clarity about my
purpose and destiny for myself and hopefully others.
Influential Entertainment
When someone has a message to get across, music is the
perfect medium for the transmission of challenging ideas. An
able artist can use music as a way of sending a message.
Offer entertainment and fans will hear what you have to say.
“I communicate my worldview through influential
entertainment and relevant content, so influential and
relevant that my music helps spark change in people's lives
and hopefully for the greater good. God, says 202, is the
ultimate inspiration for the presentation of such potent
music.
Work
Part-time touring helps get the word out right now but 202
hopes eventually for full-time work. Given the right deal, I
would love to tour full-time. It's not as though he doesn't
have the music to support full-time touring. I am almost
always writing and creating music. Except for the holiday
season, I am a pretty productive guy. And since he owns his
own studio, recording is no problem either.
Albums
His previous release "Still Standing" (2007) now out of
print except at shows can be heard at
www.myspace.com/202music and fans can eagerly anticipate new
music: a full length independent release, called
"Motivation" is scheduled for 2008. |
