Though winter is the coldest time of the year, there are many ways to make the best of its chilly few months. Some use the holiday season to become closer to their families, while others can’t wait to go outside to start a snow fight. REKS, however, whiles away his winter hours musically addressing some of the most serious issues of the day. On Dear Winter he reminds listeners that, regardless of the hope that our country is currently suffused with, Bush is still in office and the war in Iraq continues to drag on, over a fittingly introspective beat by Timeline. With so much on his mind, it’s no wonder that REKS has sprouted a few More Grey Hairs. Witty wordplay and relevant lyrics aside, the east coast native continues to ask pertinent questions that need to be addressed not only by the mainstream music industry, but by the people in charge of the nation.

I had to listen to this track 3 times. Dope lyrics for real he spittin the truth...instrumental even hotter! This is great for the ears wit a great message. I never heard of him but I'm about to go get his album More Grey Hairs just because of this song. This is true hip-hop. Classic material!!

For a sec, I thought this would be Reks rapping over "Dear Summer", but I knew he would come more original that that. The production is off the chains. The producer's name properly describes the sound of joints he makes. Reks always come so ill with the lyricism and delivery every time! I can't deny it! Most people may not feel this...but this is hip hop baby. On the real. Non-stop!

Very good underground joint. This is what's missing with a lot of smooth produced underground tracks - that catchy drum clap and a bassline. Flow is flawless here as well, good underground track.

I'm away on business (in NY - what up?) and don't have time for thoughtful and insightful comments. Which means...
today is one word comment day! *Real* - in the non-cliched way.

REKS is crazy and not enough people know about him. Check out "Say Goodnight" (which is produced by dj premier) if you want to hear the best song you never heard of!!!
