REKS - Ahead Of My Time
Artist: REKS
Producer: ATG
Album: Revolution Cocktail
Label: Gracie Productions
REKS is no newcomer to The DJBooth. After being featured on the site 30+ times in the last year, and already a handful of few times thus far in 2013, he’s back with another new song. This time the Boston native brings us Ahead Of My Time, featuring C-Scharp and an extremely smooth beat courtesy of ATG. Rightfully titled Ahead Of My Time, lyrically the track encapsulates REKS’ struggles with a perfect line from a famous quote from the New York Times saying, “For every Michael Jordan born, there’s an Earl Manigault,” as the emcee goes on say that he took the fall for other artists like Nas, or even Biggie, who would be considered the “Neo’s of the Matrix” in the rap game. Sh*t’s deep. It may take you a few listens, but once you understand the meaning behind his lyrics it will amaze you. Expect more hard hitting, deep thinking hip-hop when REKS’ latest album, Revolution Cocktail, arrives on January 22.

If you love hip-hop without the frills and bullsh*t, you'll love REKS. His style is easy to enjoy and his rhymes are always on point. No filler.

This would have been 5 stars, but I didn't think C-Sharp's voice was right for the hook. REKS' lyrics were exceptional and his flow was perfect.

REKS is one busy dude. Lots of good tracks coming our way and this is another one. Good work on the beat and sample by ATG. Good flow by REKS.
