The End Of An Era: Reason retires.

rob — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 14:22:30 +0000

I met Reason years ago through gigs, BBQ’s near the Obese Records store, and just generally being a young dude hanging around, wanting to be a part of the scene, though he probably wouldn’t remember. Over the years, and as my career has progressed, I have had a lot more interaction with Rea’, and though I was helped along by my own people, he has always been a great source of support, advice, and knowledge whenever I’ve needed it. I have also seen firsthand the support Reason has given a lot of young artists, close friends of mine included.

I think it comes from the selfless passion he has for the music, the culture behind it, and young people with a goal, that many claim but few possess. And beyond that, an ability to see qualities in others, and to nurture and encourage that potential; earlier this year I spoke, at Rea’s request, to about 250 year 9 students he teaches. One of the most rewarding experiences I’ve had through music, had very little to do with music, and everything to do with a bit of a push from Reason to step outside of my comfort zone. It’s a small, though insightful, example of the effect he’s had on me, and I’m sure there are many stories of a similar nature, spanning the more than 20 years of contribution Rea’s made.
When I heard that Window Of Time was to be his last release, I immediately hit him up saying that the scene, particularly Melbourne’s, would be that much weaker for his absence. There is much talk about kings and legends within the scene, but I don’t think there would be many brave enough to challenge the idea that Reason is a bona fide king. I wish the fella all the best for the future, and look forward to following in his footsteps to do my bit to improve the state of local hip-hop for those still to come. Peace brother, and congrats on an innings few will match.
