REKS - Devils Clutches
Artist: REKS
Producer: Hazardis Soundz, cuts by DJ Heron
Album: Eyes Watching God
Label: Gracie Productions
It’s easy to stay on the straight and narrow when you’re living a life of privilege. In the trap, on the other hand, it’s a daily battle to stay out of the Devils Clutches. On a new single off his forthcoming full-length, REKS tells the story of a young man who fell victim, like so many others before him, to the promise of an easy way out of the ‘hood. Booth-approved beatsmith Hazardis Soundz provides a tension-fraught, arpeggiated-key instrumental to back the Boston rhymesayer’s cautionary tale, and DJ Heron mans the wheels of steel, flipping thematically-appropriate samples from Nas’ It’s Mine and One Love on the record’s hook. Eyes Watching God isn’t set to drop till early 2013, but those craving more fresh tunes from REKS can find what they seek on recent projects Straight, No Chaser (with Statik Selektah) and Rebelutionary (with Numonics).

REKS in typical form on Devil's Clutches. He doesn't hide behind anything or anyone - ever.

the lyrical potency of this track is amazing, and the soundscape hits hard and matches the eerie tale. Hiphop at its finest.
