“[HeeSun Lee & SeDa's] free LOST LP expounds upon the multi-layered spiritual messages and themes of the show...It's a dope project that deserved more press and listens than I know I've given it thus far.”
Jason Bellini - Houston Belief.com, Houston Chronicle
“HeeSun Lee and SeDa joined forces with the JahRock’n Productions crew to produce an album based on ABC’s hit television series, “Lost.” To create The Lost LP, the team selected themes common to both the popular series and to life in general, and dipped them in techno-charged, digital urban music soundscapes and samples fronted by straight-talking, God-fearing rhyming.”

“...I know for the most part [that] Hip Hop seems to be a man’s world, but artists like HeeSun are doing their best to prove otherwise”

“Ever been caught by a left-hook you just didn’t see coming? I hope not…it hurts, yo. However, in this case, Heesun Lee drops Re:Defined – equally surprising and ambitious, but infinitely more entertaining than being punched in the face.”
Don Tony - Holy Culture
“This quiet looking young lady is a force to be reckoned with when it comes to rhyming and spoken word”

“The album is in a class of its own. There is a track for everyone on it. From the smooth R&B vocals on some tracks, to the upbeat hip hop dance or even a little bit of an alternative rock. The diversity on the album should keep you intrigued and entertained.”
