Press

“RVS was laid-off (like many of my other college-educated brethren), but rather than bitching, he released this dope EP...It’s a hell of a dilemma being Young, Black, and Gifted, but RVS bears the burden well. The Resilient “Higher Ground” shows this. Overall, The Layoff EP is a solid project with a good story.”

— BJack, Industry314.com

“I’m always in support of artists who have a personal connection with their music. Whether it’s storytelling, discussing social issues, political awareness, etc. For St. Louis emcee RVS, the experience of being laid off sprouted his latest project The Layoff. In rough economic times, many of us in the 99% can directly relate to this EP.”

— The Maven, The Conscious Tip

“The Point is this…when creativity comes knocking…dont leave the poor bastard outside in the cold.”

— Louis Byrd, HUMMINGBYRD'S BLOG

“I ran into RVS. He gave me a card one night at a show I was doing and simply said, “I rap a little bit” then said peace out. That’s how I knew he wasn’t your everyday, run of the mill, swag talking, bottle popping, catch me in the club rapper...”

— Belligerent, Cruise Control

“This RVS kid is really on some rhyme-kicker shit!”

— BJack, Industry314.com

“This album, which took a year and a half to complete, consist of 10 tracks that induces the nostalgic feeling of old school hip hop. I mean we are talking samples of jazz and funk intertwined with hard-hitting drums. Straight MPC style here!!! RVS vocals mesh well over Skips beats. Their individual sounds compliment each other… The album is conceptual in nature, has comedy relief (the intro is the best), and overall is good feel good music.”
