Grey Hairs [Audio CD] REKS

Veteran of the Boston Hip Hop scene, REKS teams up with DJ Statik Selektah to produce his highly-anticipated sophomore album, Grey Hairs. With production highlighted by the legendary DJ Premier and production veteran Large Professor, Grey Hairs is destined to become a modern-day classic! REKS emerged onto the underground Rap scene in 2001 with the critically acclaimed fan-favorite Along Came the Chosen on Brick Records. The album was nominated for Best Hip Hop Album and REKS was named Artist of the Year at The Boston Music Awards and was featured in the Source, XXL, Vibe, and URB s "Next 100." The album's single "Skills 101" reached #45 on the Billboard Singles Chart, putting him on shows and tours with Clipse, Ghostface Killah, Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, Redman, De la Soul, Method Man, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, Boot Camp Click, JR Writer and one of his idols KRS-One. REKS is now ready to release his sophomore studio album, Grey Hairs. The album packed with songs that are both controversial and conscious. The lead-off single, "Say Goodnight," features production by DJ Premier and finds REKS with fellow Lawrence Rap alumnus Termanology and Krumb Snatcha on the B-Side for a Statik Selektah remix. Another standout track is the incredible rap tribute "All In One (5 Mics)" featuring Lil Fame of M.O.P. "It s extremely rare nowadays to hear someone as brutally honest as Reks. This album should give hope to many of the Hip Hop fans that have yearned for quality," says Statik Selektah. Appearing on dozens of mixtapes, radio shows, and Statik's Spell My Name Right: The Album, REKS spent most of 2007-2008 flying back and forth to studio sessions in New York from his current residence in South Florida to put this album together. Grey Hairs features all-star guest appearances by Consequence, Skyzoo, Krumb Snatcha, Termanology, Jon Hope, Paula Campbell, Big Shug and Lucky Dice and DJ Premier, Large Professor, Blaze P, DC The Midi Alien, Soul Theory, DEMOBeatz, 1914 and of course Statik Selektah are all behind the boards. Both Grey Hairs and the 12" single "Say Goodnight" will be available worldwide July 22, 2008 on Showoff/Brick Records.
