When Rap Music Takes a Stand, 'Never' by Reese 3 Set for New Year Release by Catastrophic Music

After establishing a fan base with his compelling rap singles and videos, Reese 3, has dedicated the latter half of 2017 preparing a New Year EP, entitled Elliptical Orbit, featuring songs that put deep thinking to a beat. With platforms like Tidal, YouTube, Spotify, and other music resources, he quickly gained a dedicated following. Now he offers listeners something as hard as the times. With "Never", Reese 3 takes a defiant stand as a man and an artist, against haters and any climate that opposes that. "Never" comes from the phrase and attitude of 'I will never let anybody diss me, or play me" states Reese. That includes taking a power position in an industry notorious for pimping out its players. With this outspoken track, he takes inspiration from motivating conversations had with songwriter Eric Bellinger, (Chris Brown, Usher). Reese realized he was able to transition to this new phase by 'orbiting' above the chaos and near other creative energies. He takes it to a new professional level striving to share with other artists the message that they too can make their stand.
