REKS - Face Off
Artist: REKS
Featuring: Termanology
Producer: Sha Money XL
Album: R.E.K.S. (Rhythmic Eternal King Supreme)
Label: Gracie Productions
Reks seems to be set to finally have his day. The Boston emcee’s upcoming album, R.E.K.S., boasts a ridiculous line-up of producers including DJ Premier, Pete Rock, Statik Selektah, and the man behind this song, Sha Money XL. Putting aside those who saw the title and immediately thought of that terrible Travolta/Cage movie, Face Off doesn’t deceive you; it’s Reks and fellow Bostonian emcee Termanology trading bars and bars and bars and bars…these two can probably go forever. Over big production with a chorus that rises over heavy piano keys and violin dips, the flows of the two emcees continually shift to fit the instrumental, bringing a grinding yet shining aspect to the song. You know those records that you recite when you’re alone, pretending the heat-rock lines are yours? This is that. So if you’re in need of some hard-nosed hip-hop inspiration be sure to cop R.E.K.S. (Rhythmatic Eternal King Supreme), set to drop this Tuesday, March 8. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to battle an imaginary emcee soon: “Jon in turn, get your earn, get you hearses ready…”

Jon has it right in his write-up.... these two could keep spittin for hours upon hours and never stop. You know those commercials where the kids/celebrities take turns saying, "I am hip hop!"? Well, REKS is hip hop.

So after hitting the STOP button on that new Snoop/TPain track (and throwing shit across my desk). I hit PLAY on this.
Thank you Reks and Termanology. Thank you. Wasn't sure on the production, but after the 2nd play, I got it. Banger. |

It's that real Boston hip-hop at its finest. Who could really f**k with something as lyrically hard as REKS and Term?
Ok, obvious hometown bias, but still, it's a dope record. |
