Thad Reid “Paid Time Off (EP)” Drops To The Masses

Oct 05, 2009 8 Comments by The Big La, Todd Kelley

This has been a stellar year for underground and indie Hip-Hop. Another blip on your radar should be the new EP release from Virginia native Thad Reid, entitled “Paid Time Off“. The nine track opus contains cuts you might’ve already heard us drop in the mix before, like “Cruizin” (my personal favorite) and “Payday”. But he’s also droppin’ some new hotness which shows some major, much-needed consistency in CD’s. “Something New” seems to be my jam of the moment. It’s a smooth, Protoge’ produced track with solid verses from my man Reid. “Look My Way” featuring Aksum is a radio-friendly cut, sans feeling watered down. And “Life Soldiers”, an Auditory Beats produced banger is all Hip-Hop, featuring assists from K-Beta and Flip. All in all, a solid short-player that’s damn nice from beginning to end.

“Paid Time Off” is a free download EP from http://www.thadreid.com. So some love and support for real underground artists. Download the EP and then drop by some of his online spots and shout out your appreciation for quality music distributed to the masses.

Thad, who first gained national attention with well known underground hip-hop artist Doujah Raze, has been on a tear recently with his critically acclaimed single, “The Reason” which reached #3 on the grassroots/mix show radio charts and prompted Jango.com to list Reid as one of their top emerging artists in their “Airplay” marketing campaign. Aside from a massive 26,000 downloads of his recent digital releases, the self proclaimed “Voice of the Commonwealth” has been featured in a wide array of online outlets, including DJBooth.net, Allhiphop.com, KevinNottingham.com, Strivin.com, Gigacrate.com, HipHopupdate.com, HipHopchronicle.com, WYDUblog.com and ABC Radio Network’s Fame Games’ MeerMusic.com
