Statik Selektah - Fake Love (Yes Men)
Artist: Statik Selektah
Featuring: REKS , Termanology , KaliRaps
Producer: Statik Selektah
Album: 100 Proof
Label: ShowOff/Duck Down
Over the last month we’ve been releasing a steady stream of tracks from Statik Selektah’s upcoming album 100 Proof - most recently the DJBooth approved So Close, So Far - but we’ve finally come to the end of the road (cue the Boyz II Men music). Our last feature before the album drops is the scorching Fake Love (Yes Men), a bouncing cut produced by Statik that his Boston emcee compatriots Reks, Termanology and Kali use to point out everyone who shows love to aspiring rappers, falsely inflating their egos, and then are nowhere to be found when things go wrong. If you just read that sentence and felt a twinge of self-recognition, I highly recommend you change your ways before Reks, Term and Kali call you out, and do so with some serious lyrical skill. For more fearlessly honest hip-hop like Fake Love be sure to check out Statik’s album 100 Proof when it drops February 2.

Statik comes with a tight, laid-back beat here and just lets the artists shine.. And they all did. This man is making classic hip-hop music.

Every week I speak with someone in the industry about how much they HATE "Yes men." If you work in any office setting, though, you can def relate. Love the creativity here and, of course, the Statik production. The man has NEVER made a beat I haven't enjoyed.
I thought Kali really shined here on the mic - no shots at Reks or Term (who both tear apart almost everything they touch).

Haha love the concept of this, all of them come nice on the track. Some of the best posses cut songs are the ones with a good concept, this falls into that place.

Definitely a unique concept, and one they f**king nail. Some of Statik's beats don't grab you, but not every beat's supposed to. He always designs hit production to support, not overshadow, this emcees, and that's the sign of a true professional.

I set the bar a little higher for Statik only because hes better than most in the game right now. in rotation for a regular artist but not for somebody as great as Statik.

A vivid and airy Statik Selektah production is the perfect backdrop for brutally honest bars. Statik's loops are always so well complimentary to Rappers. Rotation fa sho!
