The Prism EP Review by Leonards Lair (click the link to read)
Some quick excerpts from the review:
“…I was unfamiliar with Philadelphia artist NaYR (backwards spelling of his real name Ryan) but feel privileged to have listened to this addictive, superbly produced EP.”
“‘God Knows’ employs cut-up soul vocals whereas ‘Exclusive Sh*t’ borrows from what sounds like a Blaxpoitation movie.”
“NaYR is relentless in his pursuit for perfect samples and grooves. It’s a quest that sees him at least match his contemporaries for creativity, melodic flow and – of course – “keeping it real”.”

5…Play the piano-When I was younger I thought it was corny and stupid, now I regret that thought. Plus chicks dig that shit (I think they still do), just ask Grant Hill.
4…Play the Bass Guitar-Its sort of a black thing I guess, black people love groovy bass songs, what can I say? Not to mention bass players are usually cool mothafuckas, even the white guys are cool on the bass. And its not as fun playing the Bass through my board onto an interface of Garageband or Cubase. :(
3…Compose a Symphony/Read music Excellently-They go hand in hand, this is another thing I wish I would have just done instead of trying to be a “cool kid” because I never EVER got to be one anyway. And I enjoy listening to classical music ever once in a while, I just wish I knew how to do it in the traditional sense; not with computer programs, synths and such.
2…Perfect pitch-Well who wouldn’t want that!? But it would be more for instant instrumental playback especially if I could play the piano or bass like I mentioned. And it would help with my number ONE wish…
….1…“I wish I could, SING!” (really good, i.e. Ruffin, Gaye, D’Angelo or Anthony Hamilton)-If I had a choice of rapping or singing, its going to be singing 100 times out of 100 choices. If I had my wish, I wouldn’t even rap if I got a record deal like 50 Cent or Jay-Z, I’d rathe be an amazing adequately rich known-singer than a SUPER wealthy International rapper. I know that sounds ridiculous, but IMO there is something so much more moving about a great song than a great rap. I’ma leave it there.
