Album review – Reverie’s Sitting Upside Down
Reverie is a badass emcee in Seattle by way of LA, and I met her back in March at the Fashawn concert. I was hanging out by myself, as it usually is when I go to concerts, when this nice girl and her brother started talking to me. I go to a fair amount of shows solo, and it's not very often that other girls actually talk to me. Normally I just get hit on by weirdos, who I then see out at other concerts, and don't remember me so they try to mack on me again. True story. Anyway, I mentioned that I have a blog, she mentioned that she raps, we both love Evidence, and that was that. It wasn't until a few months that I actually listened to the CD she gave me, and when I did, I was blown away. Ohmygosh! This girl can spit! is what I thought to myself. Since then, Reverie has released Sitting Upside Down, her first official album that was entirely produced by Louden, and like the CD that she gave me months ago, is full of dope, aggressive rhymes. The "Bwreckfast" introduction kind of scares me, like the mom sounds brainwashed or something, but don't let that deter you, because homegirl gets it in on the following track. Actually, she gets it in on every track found on Sitting Upside Down. "Roots Like The Trees" is probably my favorite cut off the album, as it immediately caught my attention. Not only can I relate to it, not wanting to get old, not wanting to get fat, and not wanting kids (I have cats), but I like the concept of the song, and Reverie does a great job of storytelling in it. She might go off on tangents, ...
