Biografía

John Reuben is a Christian rapper signed to Gotee Records. John Reuben (full name John Reuben Zappin) has contributed to Christian and secular albums alike, and has been frequently releasing albums since 2000, as has fellow Christian rap artist KJ-52 and the group Ill Harmonics. Much like KJ, as well as Ill Harmonics, Playdough and other names in the world of gospel rap, John Reuben uses a rap flow similar to mainstream artists, but has a slower pace and gives the lyrics more focus. As some may find the album title Professional Rapper to suggest, his lyrics are arguably the most refined of all Christian hip hop to date, generally excluding all but one slice of urban slang (the laughter, often used to retain an appealing flow), although Reuben often uses less sophisticated dialogue while appearing on a "street" rapper's album, his appearance on Black Sheep inspired "The Choice is Yours," available on KJ-52 Presents Collaborations. Reuben is a good friend of Toby Mac's, who executive produced his 2005 album The Boy vs. The Cynic and provided vocals for Are We There Yet's final track, "God is Love". Also appearing in John Reuben's songs are Matt Thiessen of the band Relient K, Othello and Adrienne Camp of the now dissolved The Benjamin Gate, and Tom Skipper of the band House of Heroes. In addition to John Reuben's surprisingly sophisticated style in lyrics, nearly every song of his (not counting the duets) takes advantage of "traditional" musical instruments, typically the guitar, though John Reuben experiments with many different instruments and musical styles. Reuben is currently working on a reality show detailing his "rise" to stardom while poking fun at many of the conventions of reality television. The pilot of the show can be viewed at youtube.com/johnnyreubonic. John released his fifth album officially titled "Word of Mouth" on 6 Feb 2007 to Gotee. This was arguably his best album, with argubly his
