Release Notes:
Beatmart Recordings never slows down its quest to scout and
develop new talent, and in turn continually provide hip-hop music
lovers with a fresh sound and story. Label A&R and producer Todd
Collins and his newest talent, award-winning northwest rapper
Willie Will, have put their creativity and experience together and
are excited to present Reflection, which will be in stores June 5,
2007.
Seattle, Washington local Willie Will has developed a following in
the northwest with three solo releases, demonstrated by the five
awards he took home from the 2006 Northwest Music Awards for Best
Single, Best Album, Best Collaboration, Best Video, and 2006
Northwest Pioneer.
Todd Collins, the founder of Gotee Records with Toby Mac and Joey
Elwood, says Willie Will brings a unique blend of hood life
reality mixed with the heart of a soldier to the diverse Beatmart
Recordings roster, and believes Reflection is set to gain the same
widespread appeal and reception of Soul P. and PettideeÆs latest
creations, The Premiere and Thug Love.
Music came naturally to Willie Will. His mother was a choir
director and his father was a quartet singer. Will began rapping
when he was seven years old, and he and his brothers performed
with their father in a Gospel group called Pop Heavenly and The
Heavenly Boyz.
Will grew up in the church, but spent the impressionable years of
his life moving back and forth between Seattle and New Jersey. His
dad seldom had a job and often hustled to get money while his
mother many times worked two jobs. From the throes of a confusing
and unbalanced home, Will turned to a life of hustle for his own,
but when he was twenty, he says God took hold of him ôin a very
real way.ö
"With Reflection, I hope to bring to the forefront a new vein of
holy hip-hopùone that brings the lost to the light and edifies the
believer at the same time," says Willie Will. "Christian rap is
often extreme: either it's too much God that the unbeliever can't
feel it, or God can't be found anywhere in it. There needs to be a
middle ground that everyone can feel and in turn be blessed."
