REKS GREY HAIRS OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE
Lawrence, Mass. (May 14, 2008)— Veteran in the Boston Hip-Hop Scene, rapper REKS teamed up with DJ Statik Selektah to produce his highly anticipated sophomore album Grey Hairs. With production from the legendary DJ Premier and Large Professor, Grey Hairs is guaranteed to be a modern-day classic!
REKS emerged onto the underground hip-hop scene with the critically acclaimed and fan-favorite Along Came the Chosen on Brick/Landspeed Records in 2001. The critically acclaimed LP was nominated for Best Hip-Hop Album & Artist of the Year at The Boston Music Awards and was featured in the Source, XXL, Vibe, and URB's "Next 100". The album's single "Skills 101" reached 45 on the Billboard Singles Chart, putting him on shows and tours with The Clipse, Ghostface Killah, Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, Redman, De la Soul, Method Man, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, Boot Camp Click, JR Writer and one of his idols KRS-One. REKS went on to release the street releases Rekless and Happy Holidays.
REKS is now ready to release his sophomore studio album Grey Hairs. The album is jam-packed with tracks that are both controversial and conscience. The lead-single off the Grey Hairs album is "Say Goodnight" produced by DJ Premier. Another standout is the incredible rap tribute "All In One (5 Mics)" featuring Lil Fame of M.O.P. Appearing on dozens of mixtapes, radio shows, and Statik's Spell My Name Right: The Album, REKS spent most of 2007-2008 in the air, flying back and forth to studio sessions in New York and his current residence in South Florida.
"It's extremely rare nowadays to hear someone as brutally honest as Reks. This album should give hope to many of the hip-hop fans that have yearned for quality" – Statik Selektah
