- YOUNG REESE DUDE
Young Reese Dude is street conscious, cinematic, and deeply human, the type of artist who doesn’t just rap about his life, he builds universes out of it.
He calls himself a “humble giant”, and it fits. His music hits with lyrical weight, but never overreaches. It’s storytelling built for replay, with bars that stay lodged in your head and emotions that sit heavy in your chest.
His project As Above So Below isn’t just an album - it’s a full story, told through vivid rhyme, real-life grit, and unflinching honesty. Reese weaves characters, callbacks, and consequences into a seven-track narrative.
A husband, father, and storyteller, he doesn’t rap to flex — he raps to reflect. His verses leave you with something. His delivery, even in casual conversation, feels like spoken scripture. Every bar has intention. Every project has purpose.
