The latest record by Ruben Page is “Word Deposits” which is essentially an ode to hip hop, the genre he loves and his own style of storytelling. This type of track sees Ruben go straight into it – there are so many emotions placed into each word, making it one of his best records. From the very beginning of the song the listeners meet genuine and powerful throbbing. This track was recorded in his home studio it is also raw and in some places slightly rough, which contributes to authenticity allowing not only the voice to be clear but the message as well. The instrumental also has a blend of the old school hip hop with a twist of the new style, and for this reason, people who are new to the instrumentals and those who have been following the development will find something they will like.
Lyrically “Word Deposits” is expressive of Ruben’s daily journeys and triumphs and trials he goes through. Truly, Ruben rhymes authentically and speaks to his listeners as if it is, in fact, a conversation. One passage does connect with the next and he is ended with being a master of rhyme and rhythm. It basically comes across in his delivery of the lines, like he is really living each word he delivers.
In the song, there’s no point where Ruben lets his energy level drop as well as the rest of the cast. He flows, particularly, with passion and expressiveness, closest to shouting as though he’s telling someone something, or letting out something that he is prevented from doing so. This intensity gives the song that realistic feel like he is shouting his thoughts out into the wind and anyone and everyone can hear it. Not only is “Word Deposits” a song, it’s a statement that really gets the listener, makes them feel the pain and struggle, it just feels like a real look into Ruben’s life.
