The Reconstruction Era is a Hip-Hop duo that consists of two NBRS, Dev iLL and Maven. They have very different vocal distinctions and it works well. Dev’ is more Scarface and Tupac, Maven is more Biggie and Common, but they both had roots in poetry. Initially they weren’t a group, they just wanted to rap, and that’s what they did. Dev’ and Maven were frequent collaborators, they both liked the same beats, both had soul, and both were intelligent. A dynamic duo just made sense. Their passion lies in the music. Their storytelling is vivid and cohesive, lyrics are sharp, and their beats are soulful. Reconstruction Era talks about the issues around them, but they’re not conscious. They are aggressive, but they’re not gangster rappers; they battle each other. Often they rap about whatever comes to mind (even Mystic Baby Crayons), but they’re not commercial; they just like to have fun. If you want it, they got it. They’re plotting, They’re building, They are Reconstruction Era.
