To begin is to enter what is known as the beginning of a new chapter, the start of a journey, a saga perhaps. Out of this emerges A.R. The name alone can stand for many acronyms such as the legendary Assault Rifle/ or After Ransom etc... But here before you stands Anee Reazon. A.R. Was born in Brooklyn, NY. A nomad if you will moving to the Bronx, NY then traveling to Yonkers, NY and back to East New York, Brooklyn. Life in Brooklyn wasn’t easy. The love of listening to some of his favorite M.C.’s like Big Daddy Kane, Kool G. Rap, Rakim and Eric B., etc. to name a few; this infused his talent to unfold, writing rhymes at the age of 7. It started as a just a pastime, a hobby of some sort which lead to writing poetry and short stories. From there; as his skills progressed so did his love for music and poetry. And as his love for music and poetry grew so did his audience, and that’s when he realized that this was where he belonged. His name up in lights next to the other greats before him and those to come. As an artist without management or well known representatives its been a long and hard struggle for him to obtain a record deal states A.R..
Beginning his musical journey he started in a group founded by him and 2 other high school friends(Da Untouchables),which led him to join a super group(Code: Black Committee).By the year of 2001 the group which was formed in high school was demolished due to lost of friendship and/or lost of communication. But the super group remained and was beginning to flourish as a well known local rap group performing at various showcases and events including opening for the Uptown Comedy Clubs traveling performances, The Showboat; solo performances include The Elite Ark /The Roseland / and The Ballroom . Besides featuring on various local D j’s mix tape compilations such as D.J. N-S-Pee/ Naydee/ Will/ Damills/ Showtime/GTA 2091(France) and a host of others. When friends and family started hearing him on the underground radio stations (95.1 Fm) and attending showcases is when he received the inspiration to take it to the next level. Joining (Niagra) of Harrisburg, PA., in forming hip hops newest indie label to take over were they left off is 71718 Entertainment. A combination of one of the best from Brooklyn (718) and mixing it with one of the best in HBG. (717). A force not yet reckoned with or for that matter one to run from challenge. With debuts such as "TWIO, The PANYC", REFIEF Soundtrack". A.R. the voice of reason, and once you hear his voice you’ll be yearning for more reasons to listen than to hate.
“Niagra flows like water on the mic
Of the opening acts at Ritt's Harrisburg release party, Niagra and A.R. Period gave one of the most memorable performances. With her ferocious rap delivery, Niagra showed she could be as tough as her male MC counterparts.”
