"Eloquent, Exquisite, Exciting".......2004-08-18

"Dreamer" is unquestionably the finest recording of original songs by black composers available today. The singing of tenor, Darryl Taylor is superb and demonstrates a vocal beauty, musicianship, and interpretive sensitivy that is rarely equaled. The selection of poems of poet laureate, Langston Hughes is first rate, and even more important, the songs themselves are original, varied and well written. I think every listener will find "Dreamer" an exciting musical experience, and I predict for Darry Taylor a distinguished career as an interpreter of art songs. For the Naxos price, buy two albums and give one to a friend!

A Gem!.......2002-10-17

This collection is a gem! Langston Hughes was a very "musical" poet who was inspired by a variety of forms, from jazz to classical. His poetry in turn inspired a whole generation of composers, thirteen of whom are represented here in fifteen art songs. Additionally, eight Hughes poems are read by William Warfield.

REPresent!.......2003-07-29

I am a label manager and producer based out of Phoenix Arizona. The Rep possesses enough talent to expand to a nationwide market. I was hoping to hear him produced by The Professionals; as I believe was originally planned but Mustafa and the various other producers hooked this album up. The Rep is much more than a christian rapper- his positive message is universal- he is a true emcee. I will be looking forward to hearing more of his material in the future.

Rep.......2003-06-12

Yea i agree i just herd him and i can't stop listenin to the cd and just learning about him...he really needs to get noticed for real though...pheonix needs to listen to him...but he's tight....i like him and i'm glad there's finally someone out ther doing something good with the talent that God gave them...keep going rep...

One of the best.......2003-06-03

The Rep doesn't get enough attention. From the streets of Phoenix he lived the hard life and bounced back with the help of God. He speaks mainly on what it's like before vs. after he is saved. I've seen this man in person twice and would gladly see him a third. Just because he's a christian doesn't mean he can't rap with the best of 'em. His music mixed secular beats with meaningful, well thought out lyrics. I liked that there was no profanity, so if your kids like rap...it's safe to the ears. He could easily take on 50 cent any day. This guy will be big soon.
