REKS - Pray For Me
Artist: REKS
Producer: Static Selektah
Album: Grey Hairs
Label: Gracie Productions
A consistent topic among underground rappers is the turmoil in today’s hip-hop world. Among those who feel this way is Massachusetts artist REKS, who on the song Pray For Me stresses it to the 50th degree. Pointing out Master P‘s lyrical clean up and the south’s widespread lack of lyricists (REKS does shout out Face, Bun, and Goodie Mob), REKS turns the song into a Suicide Note and rolls off the many late legends of yesteryear. Although Pray For Me is one of DJBooth’s shorter tracks (clocking in under three minutes), REKS’ livid flow mixed together with Static Selektah‘s dramatic beat (which samples Dead Presidents II with a bit of Triggaman mixed in) makes it worth every second.

This beat is really different. Not sure if I like it or not yet. It sounds like Church which fits the song I guess. His lyrics are good on here. Nothing really special. I think it's OK.

Mass making some noise. I already knew about the underground hip-hop scene in Boston. They have been going strong for more than a decade. I got to give my peoples' some love. Lyrics are alright; the Catholic hymn is cool and different.

8o What?! This BEAT is HOT!!! Lyrics are deep and smart as expected from Reks, his flow is sick and Statik’s beat just adds more emotion to it (Everybody needs to open their ears and realize how amazing Statik Selektah’s beats are!)! Think about it for a second: how many rappers/producers could pull this off with the same subject and church feel? Only a few… so, for the majority: STEP YOUR GAME UP! (I guess listening to “SPELL MY NAME RIGHT: THE ALBUM” by Statik will only benefit ya’ll.)

aight peeps need to stop b!tchin about the state of hip-hop. Mos Def (remember him??) said on his first album that if you wanna know where hip-hop is, look at the people. If the peeps are smoked out, hip-hop's gonna be smoked out, and so forth. i think all that snappy music is popular cause younger kats these days r just havin too much fun while they're parents are out workin. peeps r poppin bottles in the club tryin to chase that cool. peeps these days havin lots of fun (tryin) to live it up, and that's the type of music they want. that's what i want...

Good lyrics, but something about it keeps it from being really good to me. I think with how he spit, the beat needed more for me to really like it. Overall its good though, not one i'd bump in the car or anything tho.
