Music Video: REKS - Autographs
A new video by the hard working REKS showcases one of the many heat-rocks on his latest album Straight No Chaser. "Autographs" uses a poignant (slightly sad) but honorable scratch hook from the Beastie Boys "No Sleep Still Brooklyn" to reflect on the underground rap grind and the loyal fans that still check for it. Statik Selektah has quickly become one of my favorite and very slept-on producers for the True School MC's out there. Crunchy drums and simple soul flips are a good fit for REKS' lyrical skills and there are many quality cuts on this and his past albums that stay on repeat in my ipod.
Check out the video above and check out REKS recent album and back catalog if you want to hear a true school MC at his best.
