It was hard to not judge a book by its cover, but I was not sure what to expect from this free download. If you never heard of B. Reith before you would not know by looking at the album cover art that he raps (quite well) and has a wonderful jazzy voice. The whole album is great! 2 jazzy songs, 2 rappy songs. The only thing that I did not like about the last track on this EP is that he almost sounds like he is mimicking Eminem on his first album. Playful lyrics with a mimicked? female voice talking back to him. Anyways, other than sounding too much like Eminem, I think it is a great choice if you are looking for a new artist..
Hey, it's free!

3.0 out of 5 stars There's More To B. Reith Than This EP Shows, September 23, 2009

At first, the main reason I wished to comment on Brian Reith's EP was because I didn't like that Amazon compared his music to Mat Kearney in its ad to entice us to download this freebie (as of this writing). Anyone who has listened extensively to Kearney's breakthrough album, Nothing Left To Lose, would be aware that the style and sound of the so-called rapping of that album and this EP is night-and-day different... B. Reith has a very soulful, hip hop vibe to his sound, while Kearney's would be better described as rhythmic talking interspersed with beautifully moody melodies (Mat eliminated the talking sections on his latest album, City Of Black And White).

Still, Brian shows a lot of promise with his version of hip hop pop with Christian messages on this EP, but what it fails to show is a side of Reith that has more depth to it and can be heard on his just-released full-length album, Now Is Not Forever. The obviously talented Reith wears all hats on this project, writing and producing it as well as singing and rapping on it.

You'll have to take a listen to songs like "Breath", "Just For You", and "Antidote" before you can accurately judge Reith. Check out some of the lyrics to "Antidote":
"She's looking for an antidote She's looking for a man that won't Take advantage of her heart and steal her soul Leave her in the freezing cold A remedy that will take the pain away So she can go and start her life again Let the broken pieces mend"

For the material presented on the B.Reith EP alone, I can only rate it average. If you're wanting more, the full-length Now Is Not Forever may have it for you.

Didn't expect this EP to be so awesome. Went and bought the two other albums, and it's all I can listen to right now!
Catchy, fun, addicting, and quite refreshing from all the other songs out there right now.
