Regular readers know I have a tendency to post artists from my hometown Boston - what can I say, I go hard for my city. Luckily, I don't have to issue a homer disclaimer on the new REKS cut "This or That". Coming off his upcoming "Teaser" EP, this record came with a disclaimer from producer Statik Selektah: "this is NOT for the radio... and might offend some. oh well." Listen and download...
Reks lives in that sometimes foggy hip-hop space where he's too well know to be in "there's this new dude you gotta hear" territory, but he's not well known enough to truly be an underground heavyweight, and that's a god damn shame. The Boston based Reks has been doing but putting out lyrically fierce hip-hop for years now, and his new mixtape "In Between The Lines" is no different. Mixed and hosted by Statik Selektah and DJ Green Lantern, "In Between the Lines" is a collection of new and classic material from Reks designed to vault him into the elite status he deserves.

Every generation has its classics, but for us 80s babies it doesn't get much better than Nas, Biggie, Pac and some old school Tribe Called Quest. Fortunately DJ Dbefekt is dedicated to keeping the classic alive, and he's bringing on two of Boston's brightest emcees Termanology and Reks for his new "Raised on Classics" video, a flick that appropriately pays homage to all the artists who've laid the groundwork for this culture.
