The stark contrast between sunny Southern California and snowy Colorado was an early indication that Reason the Citizen's new life in Denver was nothing like his previous environment. Cold Outside captures that understanding over an equally diverging soundscape that transitions from bleak and moody, to bright and hopeful.

With a backdrop provided by UK super producer Handbook, Fingerprints describes in vivid detail the experience and emotion of Reason the Citizen relocating from coastal California to downtown Denver in the summer of 2013. Specifically inspired by his Capitol Hill apartment building, Fingerprints tells the tale of youthful idealism adapting to a new reality.

The closing track from his 2016 album Finding Success Through Failure finds Reason the Citizen openly admitting that despite his brief run-ins with success, he often finishes in Last Place. Although others might decide to abandon their pursuit after a poor finish, Reason uses the opportunity to learn a powerful lesson that he applies to his future endeavors.

One Human is a fan favorite from Reason the Citizen that focuses on the unique strength of independence in the face of impossible odds. Often the lead song in his live set, this particular performance is a combination of powerful insight and Reason's renowned razor sharp delivery.

An unreleased song that is set to appear on Reason the Citizen's fourth studio album in collaboration with Colorado producer and his longtime DJ Almighty I.Z., This Moment is about slowing down to appreciate the world even as it passes you by. In a time dominated by tiny screens and smartphone apps, Reason pleads with his audience to live in the moment and experience life before that moment is gone forever.

Understanding the impossibility of the path he chose, Reason the Citizen's Unlikely is a personal acknowledgement that world wide success was probably never part of the plan. The life of an independent hip hop artist is often at a crossroads between artistic pursuit and basic survival, but Reason chooses that battle not because he expects victory, but because he is prepared to fight for the opportunity to earn it.
