Substantial’s back with more heat for his new, self-produced single ‘Reed Richards’. Sub’s slick wordplay and effortless flow are displayed over a soulful, boom-bap instrumental.

The song begins with an excerpt radio interview featuring Chuck D of Public Enemy, who mentions Substantial with the likes of Jadakiss and Buckshot, referring to them all as scientists. The title “Reed Richards” refers to Mr. Fantastic from Marvel Comics’ “Fantastic Four”. Richards is known as a scientist and the world’s smartest man in the comics. Press play and imagine Substantial as a variant of Richards, whose superpowers are rapping, making beats, and teaching.

‘Reed Richards’ is from Substantial’s upcoming 5th solo album, ‘Adultish’ due to release in early 2023.
