Rapper, Singer, Producer, and Songwriter PAPA REU started his musical journey on the island of Tobago, [the smaller isle of The Republic of Trinidad & Tobago].  In his formative years, Calypso, Soca, Reggae, Dancehall, and American music genres influenced PAPA REU.

HIP-HOP artists, 8Ball and MJG, impressed with REU's unique way of infusing his island style, into the southern hip-hop sound and knowledge of music history, they enlisted PAPA REU to feature on, "Lick 'em Up Shot" which appears on their Hip Hop Classic, "On the Outside Looking In" on the Suave House label.


During the rise of Hip-Hop label, Cash Money Records, PAPA REU earned his early success as a feature on multi-platinum recordings such as 'The Big Tymers' "We Luv Stuntin," Juvenile's "Rich Niggaz," on the "400 Degreez" album, and Lil Wayne's "Not Like Me," on "Tha Block Is Hot."  

Representing the Southern mainstream, under-ground music scene, PAPA REU released a total of seven albums through his record label Reu Muzik titled "X-Cuse Me," "Certified," "ReuDBoy" [volumes one and two], "You Know Me" and "Da Original" CD and DVD.
