Rome Clientel "One Life to Live" feat. Reks (Prod. by ATG)

This is the second single off Rome Clientel's The Empire 2: The Battlegrounds EP, sponsored by DJ Booth. This ATG-produced cut, featuring Boston great Reks, has both MCs chronicling their journey to reach this point, past all the obstacles that have stood in their path. Obviously, the journey hasn't ended for either of them (and in Rome's case, it has only begun), but at the end of the day, they only have one life to live and if the song is any indication, they are going to pursue this dream of theirs until the day they die.

¡MAYDAY! - "Highs & Lows" feat. Ace Hood & Reks (Statik Selektah Remix)

Oh shit. How I almost miss this? Damn, Statik Selektah came through and gave this track a soulful feel. That piano sounds just right over this version of ¡MAYDAY!'s track that now features R.E.K.S. Damn. Check it out for yourself. Oh, and if you still haven't copped ¡MAYDAY!'s Take Me To Your Leader album, do it now. It's one of my favorite albums in 2012. No doubt.

Downloads ... REKS "In Between The Lines, Volume 2" Mixtape

I usually frown at projects that are over 15 tracks but this REKS joint at 30 tracks is dope. With a gang of features (Reef the Lost Cauze, Termanology, Sha Stimuli and more) plus dope production (Nottz, Statik Selektah and more), this project is fresh from the first track right up to number 30.
