REKS & Action Bronson Are Lethal Rap Weapons on “Riggs & Murtaugh” (Listen)

Posted by Nathan S. on 04/25/12 | Filed under Action Bronson, REKS

I see RefinedHype's mission as being two-fold. One, to deflate some of the hype surrounding more famous but less deserving artists (aka talk shit). That's why we posted the new Wale and Diddy. Our second mission is to hype up some less famous artist who deserve more hype than they're getting. That's why I'm posting REKS "Riggs & Murtaugh". Listen....

“All These B*tches Love” J NiCS, REKS & El Prez (Listen & Download)

Posted by Nathan S. on 04/19/12 | Filed under Downloads, El Prez, REKS, J Nics

Yes, I know I just got done blasting the impersonal way guest verses are often put together in the digital age, but there are also some serious advantages to making music via the interwebs. For example, twenty years ago it would have been practically impossible to get Miami emcee J NiCS, L.A. emcee El Prez and Boston emcee REKS together for a track like "All These Bitches Love It".

Mayday Enters “Must Listen” Territory With New Release “Internal Wars” (Listen & Download)

Posted by Nathan S. on 01/11/12 | Filed under Refined Picks, Downloads, Dead Prez, Mayday, REKS

Mayday are able to make live instrument hip-hop without succumbing to the "hey look at us, we're making live instrument hip-hop!" trap so many other groups fall victim to, and by combining group emcees BernBiz and Wrekonize with Dead Prez vet M1 and Boston emcee REKS, the mic skills more than match the beat.

REKS & Styles P Ask “Why Cry” (Listen & Download)

I know I get accused of rampant homerism every time I post a track from a Boston artist, but this new REKS is so damn dope I don't care. Yeah, that's right, I give preferential treatment to rappers from the city of birth. So what? Go ahead and tell me this new "Why Cry" isn't dope. Go ahead, I'll wait. Listen and download...

REKS Goes “In Between the Lines, Volume 2” (Mixtape Listen & Download)

Posted by Nathan S. on 11/24/10 | Filed under Top Stories, Downloads, Mixtapes, REKS

Life's crazy. Ten years ago I was an underage kid sneaking into Boston's House of Blues so I could hear REKS perform, and a decade later I'm helping to put out his new dope mixtape, "In Between the Lines Volume 2", via my work with the mothership. Thankfully, my early rap hero has only gotten doper, honing his always aggressive style with a real lyricism. Boston stand up. Listen and download...
