Read moreThe upcoming REKS album, ‘The Greatest X’, (pronounced The Greatest Unknown) is dropping September 9th, 2016 on Brick Records. “Jump Shots” is a song that articulates in depth the idea made famous by Biggie Smalls, “either your slingin’ crack rock or you got a wicked jump shot.” Over an infectious head-nodder from Buckwild, assisted by a flawless cuts from Statik Selektah, REKS describes the limited options available to ghetto youth and the parallels between b-ball and hip hop. A die-hard Boston Celtics fan, REKS states, “I actually grew up idolizing the Bad Boys Isiah Thomas on the ball court. His grittiness and fearlessness was admirable.” “Jump Shots” comes just in time as The NBA Finals are now in full swing. REKS won’t root for any team other than his beloved Celtics these days, but he is enjoying the shootout between Steph Curry and Lebron James. “Jump Shots” is the fourth release from ‘The Greatest X’.

Plus ill cuts provided by DJ Kerosene. Reks says : “My goal is to return to the simplicity of dope bars over dope beats formula, in a time where lyricism is lost on too many listeners.

Read moreLook for the upcoming REKS album, ‘The Greatest X’, (pronounced The Greatest Unknown) in Summer 2016 on Brick Records. It will feature production from Large Professor, The Alchemist, Evidence, Statik Selektah, Nottz, Apollo Brown, Black Milk, MoSS, Buckwild and Streetrunner and also guest appearances from R.A. The Rugged Man, Slaine, Termanology, Planet Asia, Rasco, Phat Kat, Guilty Simpson, Akrobatik, Reef the Lost Cauze, Dutch Rebelle, Edo G and others. REKS explains the motivation for the song: “‘Hands Up (Wink Wink)’ was made as a wake up call to those tuned out to our realities and engaged by societal distractions. In essence, I believe when a class of citizens are oppressed for an extended period of time, there is a point where they have little choice but to awaken. In today’s America, not much has changed for the masses who were labeled 3/5 of a person in The Constitution. At the song’s root is the idea of being policed differently from our neighbors solely on the basis of our melanin. We are shot in the streets like dogs and described as radical when defending the idea of our freedom.” This track was produced by Grammy Award winning STREETRUNNER, who had provided beats for Terror Squad, Lil Wayne, LL Cool J, Ludacris, Twista, Joe Budden, Nicki Minaj, The Game, Royce da 5’9″, Rick Ross and more.
