News » Band: Symmetry & Ryan Lewis
Indie Music The best way to describe Rhode Island-based Emcee Symmetry is expansive. Why? Take one listen of his latest collaboration with acclaimed producer Ryan Lewis, and you will quickly understand why his soulfully melodious, intelligently written and highly enjoyable brand of hip-hop has to date been so excitingly received.

Shying away from standard lyrical stereotypes as excess, sexism, and drugs; Symmetry’s approach is far more down to earth, and is what many consider to be "just honest hip hop." In 2007, Symmetry released his sophomore album, Dusty Pickup. Met by rave reviews across the board, Symmetry went on to put together a live band in order to bring his musical vision to life, which was so successful that he has stated that he will never play with turntables ever again. An outlook that helped craft his brand new, self-titled opus that was written alongside the universally praised Lewis.

Blending elements of pop, hip-hop, electro, indie, soul, and rap; the duo’s self titled EP has the creative urban feel of acclaimed artists like Gnarls Barkley & The Roots along side the melodic sensibilities of bands like The Script and MGMT. Since there beginning in 2006 they have collaborated with a variety of artists including Nikola Bedingfield, Paul Rivers Bailey, and Geologic (Blue Scholars).

The album’s stand out tracks include the sharp musicianship and ferocious vocal work of “Back in Business”, the tongue-in-cheek bite of “School Days” and the cheeky keyboard work & indie-orientated melodies of “Fireflies”. Elsewhere, the 60’s pop feel and bouncy edge of “Cuttin’ Out” are delectable and incredibly addictive.

Sharp, insanely talented and dangerously intelligent; Symmetry and Ryan Lewis have created a fantastic pastiche of classic hip-hop, soul, indie rock & pop that appeals to fans of all the above and beyond. If you like your hooks, your lyrics creative and your humour twisted, you will love this album.
