Sitting in the control room of Vertical Studios, Rapture - aka Brad
Dring - finds himself filling the demanding roles of rapper, engineer
and artist as he masterminds the brand new album, I Believe. Seven
months in production, but over six years in the making, I Believe
explodes from the stage and the stereo with a unique blend of hooky,
high-energy rap, and heavy riff-driven guitars. With a strong New
Zealand fan-base, Rapture Ruckus have been turning heads around the
globe, with LA hip-hop guru Brian Gardner (Eminem, Dr Dre, etc)
mastering the final cut.
From stadium-sized anthems in the form of "Lose control" and
"Feight train", to the emotive power of the title track, I Believe
draws upon years of musical experience and the struggles of daily life,
to become an album that unusually for the rap genre, is relevant,
perceptive and refreshingly unique. The stage is set for Brad Dring to
take his message to a world that desperately needs it. Do you believe?
