The work of a six-man collective fusing hip-hop, funk and gritty soul, The Revelations' seven-song Deep Soul EP blends the sounds of the bluesy rural South and gritty urban streets. Led by Tre Williams, the group crafts a sound that's timeless and undeniably energetic. Click the link above to hear The Revelations perform live in concert from WXPN and World Cafe Live in Philadelphia.
Styled after a modern-day Otis Redding, Williams has used his church-choir and R&B background — not to mention his four-octave range — in high-profile contributions to records by the likes of Petey Pablo and Nas. His band's other five members are similarly experienced, with ties to names such as Mary J. Blige, Kanye West and Raphael Saadiq.
