On 2005’s Feast or Famine Reef the Lost Cauze boasts, “I belong in a rap zoo, with a sign that reads ‘Please Don’t Feed the Angry Black Dude.’”

Anger and animalistic instincts aside, Reef has spent years toiling in the underground, reppin’ for Philly’s hip-hop scene on a national scale.

From his near-legendary status as a top-shelf battle MC to his collaborations with the JuJu Mob, Brother Ali and Vinnie Paz of Jedi Mind Tricks, Reef continues to set the bar high while maintaining his integrity and independence.

As he broadens his search for an acceptable distribution deal for his upcoming fourth full-length, Reef kicks out the as-yet-unreleased jams live for his local legions. (Joshua Valocchi)
