Album Of The Day: Reubonic by John Reuben

Album Art of John Reuben's Reubonic album - A photo that seems to be a large, low-ceilinged room with turned off pinball machines and arcade cabinets to the left in the dark, though there's an orange glow coming from above and behind them. On the right, a bright white light is overpowering everything else, except to the far right, one hand is in front of the light reaching out. In the blackness at the bottom is printed the album title in a yellow outline. The left part of the 'R' extends all the way to the left, with the words 'Future Nostalgic Presents' inside it.

Released on this day 8 years ago, this is the 7th album and first independent release from rapper John Reuben. His earlier releases mixed lighter, more humorous topics into the lyrics, but that does not happen much on this album. This time, Reuben stays on topics such as the evils of religion, how we cling to identity and nostalgia, and personal insecurity. The beats and beds definitely feel different from previous albums, but considering this is an indie release and he didn’t release any new music for the 9 years before this, it’s expected that it sounds a bit different. I’ve always liked John Reuben’s music because he calls it like it is and does it in his own style, and I’ll keep listening to his music as long as he makes it.
