This spring, we had the honor of working with Deandre Presswood, aka HydroSciGuy, a PhD student at the University of Nevada, Reno, and a water scientist using his expertise to raise awareness about climate change through music.

HydroSciGuy’s Earth Day album blends environmental science with hard-hitting rap lyrics, offering tracks like “Blender” and “Tipping Point” that challenge listeners to take action. In the song “Species”, he delivers the line, “I’m in unison, me and all my species,” a powerful reminder that the climate crisis is a shared responsibility.

Abbey West’s rap engineer BigWigLTD helped bring this vital project to life. BigWigLTD’s skillful engineering ensured that the production matched the urgency and clarity of HydroSciGuy’s message, creating a sound as bold as the topics it confronts.

Since its release, the album has gained national attention, including a feature in The Black Wall Street Times, which praised HydroSciGuy’s unique ability to merge science and hip hop into something accessible, urgent, and real.

We’re proud to have been part of this project. At Abbey West Recording, we’re here to amplify voices with something to say. If you’re bringing purpose to the mic, we’ve got the studio to match.
