Steel Waters

Steel Waters, Volume I: DUPLicate AuthentICITY reflects the duality of the author, Reggie Legend-concern and disregard, strengths and weaknesses, spirit and flesh, scriptures and rap lyrics, light and dark. While these counterbalanced themes define a man living in and torn between two worlds, they are also played out in the fullness of this collection of poetry. Steel Waters captures Reggie's struggle as he seeks to find the balance between Biblical scriptures and the lyricism of hip-hop, both of which influence the delivery and context of his message. Walk with Reggie Legend as he maps out this struggle through verses of rhyme and reason and decide for yourself. I disturb the peace like Luda- I'm the root cause of neighborhood watches. I disturb street dreams like Krueger- my Ruger haunts and robs safe havens of good conscience. As the hood darkens- I worsen the despair within. Ensnared in it, I ensure others will succumb to trouble- I'm a rebel of lost cause. I'm arrogant, I snub others with gun muzzles- I'm an unsettled thug in harsh squads ... My level's marred and off- I am an urban terrorist.
