Status The Marlboro Man feat. Reks & Krookid Hooks – Connoisseur [Audio]

Status The Marlboro Man is back with a new single, “Connoisseur”, enlisting Reks and Krookid Hooks for a three-man showcase in pure boom bap fashion.

From the opening bars, it’s clear this one’s built for head-nods.

Reks sets the tone, sliding over the beat with the kind of precision and cadence only a seasoned vet can deliver. The hook, built on quick cuts and sample chops, is simple, sticky, and hard not to chant along with. Status follows up as both MC and producer, dropping sharp punchlines laced with social awareness while keeping the track rooted in his signature sound. Hooks closes things out with tongue-in-cheek metaphors and punchlines that bring levity without breaking the momentum.

Produced on Status’s trusty Akai MPC 2000XL, the beat strikes that sweet spot—slow and heavy enough to feel raw, but energetic enough to carry all three emcees with ease. Clocking in at just over three minutes, “Connoisseur” is tight, to the point, and tailor-made for hip-hop heads who crave timeless boom bap with a modern twist.
