Man, there’s just something classic about how Reuben Vincent comes through on a microphone. His latest album is pure nostalgia fuel, taking you straight back with its soulful beats and versatile lyrics that keep you hooked from the jump. And with the legend 9th Wonder on the boards, this whole project feels like a deep, soulful nod to hip-hop’s golden age, but with that fresh, new energy.
Reuben Vincent’s Classic Flow with Modern Soul
The standout song for me has to be “Day By Day.” It’s that classic “Reality Rap” joint—the kind of song where you just close your eyes and feel every single bar. Reuben’s delivery is so smooth, blending that confident swagger with real introspection. It kind of reminds you of the poetic flows from guys like Wale and Common, but it’s 100% Reuben’s own story.
The beat selection is heavy on those Southern roots, which makes perfect sense since Reuben got his start grinding in North Carolina, not just as an MC but also doing his thing producing. He also brought in some serious talent, with fellow lyricists Sweata and Jorden dropping fire verses that take songs like “Just 4 Me” to another level with their different perspectives.
Reuben Vincent and 9th Wonder: A Duo Shaping Hip-Hop’s Future
Working side-by-side with 9th Wonder is clearly pushing Reuben to be one of the most promising voices in the game right now. Their chemistry is crazy, you get 9th’s signature soulful sampling and crisp drum patterns perfectly paired with Reuben’s fresh, thoughtful storytelling. The final result is an album that not only celebrates the history of hip-hop but also shows you exactly where the future is headed.
With every verse, Reuben Vincent is dropping a serious reminder that hip-hop, when it’s real, is super personal and seriously powerful, it’s something you can vibe with day by day.
