Atlanta will once again be hosting their annual AC3 Hip Hop Festival next month with a slew of artists to represent the genre. One of the bigger names to be showcased is Atlanta's own B.o.B. who will also be sharing the bill with (among others) local artist Spree Wilson. Material carrying Spree's name is few and far between but he has an EP under his belt: Evil Angel. Although only six songs, it still gives an idea of what kind of path Spree looks to take as an artist. With a strong R & B influence, Spree seems focused more so on a hook and song structure (live instruments are used regularly on this EP) than his lyrics/flow ("I Believe She's Lying" contains no rapping as well as the ironically titled "Chaos"). But when he does he has a kind of positive, easy-going style of early "old school" style rapping (ie., "WORD!" and the closer "Goodbye"). Hopefully, his positive attitude and go-with-the-flow persona translates into an impressive live show for this EP offers very little to its listener.
