REKS - Say Goodnight ft. DJ Premier
Artist: REKS
Producer: DJ Premier
Album: Gray Hairs
Label: Gracie Productions
Old heads are constantly bemoaning the loss of hip hop’s golden age, when emcees like KRS-One and Guru spat jaw-dropping rhymes over pounding break beats. REKS will undoubtedly shut them up for awhile. Set to release his sophomore album, Gray Hairs, on July 22, the Boston artist knows the value of a dope rhyme and a sample-driven beat. That’s why he enlisted the help of the esteemed DJ Premier, whose two-bar breaks and brilliantly integrated samples have caused his followers to whisper “greatest-of-all-time” since the mid-nineties. Its lead single, Say Goodnight, is an inquiry into the state of the industry. If you ever find yourself complaining that rap artists these days don’t know real hip hop, just pop in some REKS and let him take you back.

Reks is the guy . I like this production! Primo snapped with this. I don't expect new school lovers to even remotely dig this. But Reks is the guy! I had the honor of being featured on a compilation with him that came out back in April. He's dope. I would say this isn't his best ,but it works. I like how 50 Cent was integrated in there by Primo.

First off, I love premo! This is not his sickest beat. Reks is a nice MC! This cool though, I'm not mad at it. Not my flava but cool enough to play.

REKS is a skilled MC, but everything that his camp has sent us discusses how awful the industry has become. I am no longer all about the negativity... let's embrace where we are at, except we cannot go back to the past, and try and continue to create good music for the future. How about that message, fam?

BOSTON!!! REKS representing beantown to the fullest. I got to drop some love to my boston hip-hoppers. Let's go Celtics. Bring home the trophy: this is our decade in sports history. DJ Premier is always nice. This is old school flavor at its finest. Extra star for the city of champs.

Somethin Different. But thats exactly watt rap needs right now. Lyricall and Flow wise REKS is pretty tight. The beat is simple but it just kinda consumes you...
