A major part of hip-hop fandom is paying homage to the fallen legends. Knowing this, Boston rapper REKS has decided to give his listeners an All In One package with 5 Mics. With M.O.P.‘s Lil Fame as his hypeman, REKS follows a brief intro by channeling the styles of fallen soldiers from the West Coast (2Pac), Brooklyn (Biggie), Bronx (Big Pun), and Harlem (Big L). With Blaze P‘s street-ready beat and Statik Selektah‘s classic scratches, All In One (5 Mics) will no doubt be a favorite among all who honor the legends. His sophomore album, Grey Hairs, will be released July 22 and should attract a strong underground/old school following.

I had to come and peep this first tonight, cuz I know Reks is beat with it! This beat is a monkey's favorite food! I love homage tracks in hip hop and Reks is the perfect person to do this! This is classic! Love it. You new school addicts may not like this (I won't name names), but at least respect it. The adaptation of styles (much like Nelly did about a month ago with "Bay") was just too creative!
i know who u talkin bout WOW with the "no names".. but i wont speak on it.. the song im sure has a good message and all, but i dont like east coast music.. so yeah,
YEa this is deffinatly a good one lyricly. Pac is stil the greatest rapper alive... or dead. Big pun, papa, and L are inreplaceable MC's I miss them all. This song is great. As far as the beat, not my style, but the adaptation of the flows of great Mc's makes the a banger without ?
THIS IS A ILL TRACK BY REKS GOTTA LOVE HIP HOP TRIBUTE TRACKS....EXCEPT THEY GOT THEY INFO WRONG REKS IS FROM LAWTOWN(LAWRENCE) NOT BOSTON....EITHER WAY KEEP IT REKS KEEP REPPIN LAWTOWN WIT PRIDE......LAWTOWN!!!
REKS had me on the track where he put every rapper on the spot regarding who rappin like who and what you aint got don't rap about it. Cuh I aint even heard this track yet. It get't a banger
This is a crazy track, I can't wait for a new video for Grey Hairs. I can't even pick the craziest flow on here, but it might just be Pun's, giving Term a run for his money haha.
OK, I've been a fan of Reks for a while now but his last two tracks havent really been that good. So when I heard that he was going to channel the styles of 5 classic MCs I didnt think he could pull it off. He killed it though! I think the big pun flow is the most on point.
beats hot flow is sick reks kills.... love the tribute to the fallen legends... grew up on pac and biggy .... n its nice to see someone also have a say bout big pun and big l .... song kinda makes me sad jus thinkin bout how they not alive anymore
