With a chunky beat and infectious hook, 'Reflection', Willie Will's debut on Beatmart, kicks off with a bang. Building on three solo releases, this album blends hard rhythms with a distinctive, quick-fire rapping style. "Move Somethin'", with it's call to be active for God, is set to be a massive, holy hip-hop anthem, while the more reflective "All For You" reminds us of God's grace. "Blame Game" catches Willie spitting honest lyrics about the many hypocritical attitudes that can be present in the church. Guest spots come from K-Drama, Sheree Hinton, Jazz Digga and Soul P. Willie Will aims his words at believers and unbelievers, treading a thin line between the two. It's a tough job, but one that he just about pulls off. Certainly an exciting new voice in hip-hop.

Product Description
Fuelled by a solid foundation and belief in God, Willie Will now takes his passionate art from a suburban Seattle street to the national stage. Beatmart Recordings, renowned for delivering artistry that always pushes the envelope, releases their boldest offering to date. 'Reflection', primed to resound the grit and gravel of suburbia, will turn the ears of the white-collar executive to the hardened street kid alike. Echoing Willie Will’s personal intensity and mission, the album provokes all to search from within and challenge the man in the mirror.
Willie Will has been writing, producing and performing music for over 17 years. A family affair, Will gained extensive experience travelling the country with his father and four brothers while honing his craft for his now full-time solo career. Willie Will’s sound is defined in the reflective manner by which his environment has shaped him - from intense struggle to spiritual favour. Where the media revel in the glamour of brokenness to blissful stories, 'Reflection' grips the soul with the timeless reality of street life to salvation.
