Known for his original compositions, nostalgic samples and heavy synths, Rey Resurreccion is the embodiment of South Bay rap—yet he relocated to Brooklyn considerably longer ago than a minute. On the other coast, he has continued to hone his craft not only as a songwriter but also as a producer, engineer and musician.
Rey Res, as he's also known, fell hard for rap in his sophomore year at Oak Grove High School. Rey's dad bought him a Boss DR-5, his first drum machine. 'I was obsessed with rapping and making beats,' he told Metro writer Brandon E. Roos back in 2014, recalling how he joined up with a group of friends to form the rap clique Solar Powered.
Of all these many tracks, the one that's most on point in light of this weekend's show is 'The Hometown,' Resurreccion's signature song. A tribute to San Jose, it features Rey reminiscing about his city of origin over a sample of banda music provided by Bangerz member C.
