About the Artist

The Atlanta-based quintet breaks new ground and addresses new challenges on its latest album, Graffiti the World. The collection is truly the work of combined contributions from each individual member of the band. "It's five people getting' together and trying to do the music that they want to hear," says front man Danny Alexander. "Everybody contributed. You always have a vision of what you want to do and it never really comes out the way you plan it, but the end result is really good. You're just constantly trying to put out what you feel. The final result of their combined efforts evokes a more positive and inspired feeling to the record. Formed in the late '90s, pioneering mash-ups of scorching rock and searing rap, Rehab released its debut album, Southern Discomfort in 2000, filled with an array of guest stars including Cee-Lo, Goodie Mob and Cody Chestnutt. The album spun off the top 15 modern rock hit "It Don't Matter" and sold over 140 thousand units. This success enabled the band to kick off a 2 year national tour supporting the Vans Warped Tour and bands like Kottonmouth Kings and Linkin Park. Then, three years ago, in the wake of diverging creative, personal and financial points of view, the group splintered. While facing down his own personal demons, Danny brought together a new version of the band, which has delivered, Graffiti the World. "I did a lot of observing and lyrically sat down for a while and thought about what was going on around me, what I wanted to do and where I wanted to do it," Danny says. This album is a documentary of the station you are in life and trying to get to the next area or stop." For Rehab, Graffiti the World is a band's bid to cover the world with special sounds, seeking the dark and light within, asking questions and perhaps, sometimes, finding the right answers. And Danny says he knows well he can't do that alone. Along with the help of not only his band members, he collaborated with A-list producers/mixers Billy Hume, whose credits include the Ying Yang Twins, David Banner, and Bonecrusher, and Phil Tan whose worked with the Neptunes, Snoop, and Mariah Carey.

Product Description

Explicit Version. 'We always thought 'Bartender Song (Sittin' At A Bar)' was a hit song, but our old label didn't agree and was not interested in pushing it. So we decided to re-record it with better sounds and give it to Universal Republic because they believed in us. It's truly a unique situation when a band has to cover their own song to make it work.' per Danny Boone -founder of Rehab. 'Whether your listeners have been playing this one in their local dive for the last several years or they're new to the song, Rehab's 'Sittin' At A Bar' will strike an immediate chord and will set the phones on fire faster than a bartender can light a pyramid of Flaming Dr. Peppers...' DJ Frito - KJYO of Oklahoma City.

Wow what a difference and new line up and a few years make, this is not the Rehab of Southern Discomfort and Cuz we Can. This is a slicker, more packaged feeling group, some dope beats and way more focused music, but not the raw gritty lyrics of old. What you want from me track one is off the hook 5+ stars but its down hill from there, theres other peaks but nothing that exciting. If you liked the old Rehab, or are a Brooks Buford fan I recommend this album, but dont expect to hear the same sound of old..

I had my doubts about Brooks not being with Danny anymore on this c.d. But I was amazed. Danny belongs alone, there is not one bad song on this c.d. I have to say "Red Water" and "Walk Away" are my two favorite songs. I highly recommend this cd to anyone, his style and his lyrcis are unbelievable. Great cd

I first heard Rehab when they opened up for the Kottonmouth Kings back in the day.I fell in love with the raps,music,and the style.I was happy when I found out the put of the 1st pressing of this album.The new issue is good but they took off some of my fav. tracks like Wht Do U Want From Me,and This I Know.Bartender aka Sittin' At Bar is off the chain.I love the country feel to the remake.I recomend this cd to fans of Psychopatic,Suburban Noize,and all people who like rap with a music behind it not just a beat.
