Musical career


After releasing an independent album, called Soulfood,[4] Reality Check signed a deal with Star Song Communications, and released a self-titled album, on June 3, 1997.[5] The next year, Reality Check disbanded for unknown reasons.


Music


Reality Check's sound could be described as a mix of PFR, and DC Talk.[2]


Soulfood

Soulfood was the group's first album, released under the name Reality Check. Soulfood relied heavily on samples for the backing tracks, including beats from artists, such as the Beastie Boys, and House of Pain. This album featured a different sound than their later work, such as their self-titled album, and could best be defined as late 1980s hip-hop.

Self-titled Album (Reality Check)

This album contains two tracks, featuring Michael Tait. In the song "Apart From You", Tait can be heard singing the words, "apart from you", in the background, during the bridge. There is also a hidden prank call at 5:19, on the last track on the CD, where Tait, and friend, Jason Halbert, are called simultaneously in a prank three-way call. This track is not available on the cassette version.
