New Release____________________

 Reyes an activist, poet and hip-hop artist is constantly pushing the limits of poetry and hip-hop. His latest release “We Are” is a poetic fusion of spoken word, history, myth, and contemporary politics. “We Are” is produced by Chicago hip-hop production genius DJ O-Zone, who’s credits include work with, DJ Khaled, G.o.o.d music’s Grammy-award winning artist GLC, and newly acquired Shady Records artist Joel Ortiz. Reyes and O-Zone masterfully bring spoken word and hip-hop into a perfect marriage of words, beats, rhymes and soul.

Reyes’ poetry is precisely penned, composed of rhythmic hip-hop, spoken word, vivid imagery and radical themes and is balanced beautifully with the soulful hip-hop production of DJ O-Zone.

“We Are” is a critical and dynamic look it is to be Latin@ in the 21st century.

Reyes will be touring in Major citys across the United States, Canada and Europe including, Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, Toronto, Montreal, Madrid. Paris and London.

Whats The Word
    • Saw Reyes at Cesar Chavez Day March and was inspired to make a positive difference so that future generations can truely have equal rights. Was a great day overall.

    • I went to the LSS Conference today and even the second time around, your poetry is powerful and moving. You do a great job of relaying an emotional message! I am listening to your cd now and love it! Thank you for spreading the word Reyes! We Are

    • First time hearing your work at the USHLI conference and completely inspired me to start writing again. Everything you say in your poetry goes hard. Thank you for reminding how great poetry makes me feel and how effective it can be in voicing what you believe. Much love

    • Blew my mind at the USHLI conference! Never really appreciated spoken word as much, till now! You were so amazing .

    • BEST FIELD TRIP EVER!!

    • Nice performance at MSU Mankato during the Multicultural Affairs Conference! Keep it Up!

    • met you when i was 12,you came to my skoo in 07,you freestyled a poem. gave you werds and yu gave them life. stay up.

    • i spit bars synonymous with my youth, stars will honor us in the booth, when i say us, i mean unification is a must, my culture to be its voice they entrust. i take a stab at corporation with a swing and a thrust, and when i say that i got racks i aint talkin no bust, im feeling gone with the wind like a gust, but i guess its better than getting left in the dust. i kick up a storm and take lyrical form, hoping that through expression we can redefine the norm. so while youre sitting there studying thinking in your dorm, about politics and new age and how youre so torn, remember to pick a side, not for pride but better yet so you can show them whats inside, dont hide, just confide in my flow, and we reminisce and maybe just take it slow

    • We youth, young adults go to leaders for help from assults. We Keep our chins up high, and soon could go up to the sky.

      We latinos our united to be re-united, We stand together to stay alway from violence, and soon we will save our lives.

      We as latinos we are leaders We come to live in peace, We can become strong if we don't lose our faith.

      We stand together to reach our dreams We can stay dreaming We now can live in peace if we have our faith.
