I’m without a personal laptop, headphones, and iPod this week, so I can’t give a review of this mixtape just yet.
On the plus side, you know what to expect when it comes to these two. Statik Selektah has been consistently putting out solid mixtapes for years now and to add to that, Slaine has been on a mission as of late (as I mentioned here the other day), and will no doubt bring his own brand of Boston hip-hop to the Statik Selektah sound.
It’s also something to hold us over until A World With No Skies, and with features from Ill Bill, Termanology, and Action Bronson, fans can probably guess what they’re getting here.

“Reks’ third offering in the shape of Rhythmatic Eternal King Supreme delivers to the underground fan with a range of subject matter, on-point rhymes, lyrical dexterity and Reks’ best selection of beats to date.”
The artist:
Born Corey Isaiah Christie in Lawrence, Massachusetts, Reks dropped out of college to pursue his dream in hip-hop. After taking the Boston underground scene by storm, Reks landed a deal with Landspeed Records who delivered his now decade-old debut Along Came The Chosen in 2001. The success which followed gave touring opportunities alongside respected emcees including Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, Redman, De La Soul and his idol KRS-One. Reks’ second effort Grey Hairs (2008) is frequently cited as a classic amongst underground heads spearheaded by the impeccable Say Goodnight with legendary producer DJ Premier.

Been waiting on this for ages. Reks, one of the hardest-working, most gifted emcees in the underground scene right now, drops us for free his latest mixtape in preparation for his upcoming Rhythmatic Eternal King Supreme album. Reks teams up with DJ Green Lantern, DJ Ill Will and frequent collaborator Statik Selektah to bring us this release, and boasts features from La Coka Nostra’s Slaine, OTU favourites Reef The Lost Cauze, Termanology, Sha Stimuli and many more.
I’m still checking this out but Reks goes in on this and there are some absolute bangers to accompany his razor-sharp lyricism.

I’m going away this weekend to the city they named the big apple after (after Amsterdam sold it to the UK). So, with beer in hand, I’ll leave you with a few drops from over the past few days for you to enjoy in my absence. I’ve obviously got a joint with G Rap on, I’ve got some new Reks from his upcoming mixtape, some new Joell Ortiz (standard) and a revamped version of an AZ classic.
Hit the jump for the links and a bit of pre-match analysis.

Been meaning to post this for a few days now. Some new AZ for y’all over a Statik Selektah beat. This can be found on his Doe Or Die anniversary re-issue. That’s great. But what I want to hear is that new Doe Or Die 2 shit.

Lots of new Reks to get excited about. This is the official video from his upcoming In Between The Lines 2 mixtape hosted by DJ Green Lantern, DJ Ill Will & Statik Selektah. Then we’ve got his Teaser EP before followed by his next studio album R.E.K.S. (Rhymatic Eternal King Supreme).
Reks continues to be one of those cats out at the moment who isn’t afraid to take a different angle on things. His passion and innovation makes it easy to see why he’s one of those currently running the underground scene.
It’s great to witness the evolution of an artist. And his beard…

Visuals for another track from 1982′s self-titled album due to drop October 26th.
A very watchable video with a couple of cameos thrown in for good measure.

Here we have some visuals for Rek’s controversial track This Or That from his mixtape In Between The Lines 2.
I am yet to watch but I’m sure, as with anything Reks puts his mind to, it’s laced with hunger and passion.
Audio here.

Bun B is the industry’s new Raekwon, and I’m as sold as everyone else.
He teams up with 1982 (Termanology & Statik Selektah) for a smooth, laid back lyrical affair straight from their self-titled album dropping October 26th.
Visuals are to your left. Enjoy.

The first leak from the upcoming album from Statik and Term (under the name 1982) comes with a couple of heavy-hitters on the feature. Statik drops off an interesting production, which has some of those gritty elements mixed in with a jazzy feel. Pretty unique stuff, and nice to hear him mixing it up like that. The verses are all pretty likeable, with Termanology probably just shading it ahead of Xzibit for the best one.

Didn’t really give this song the time it deserved when it first dropped, and have to say that will be changing as it’s actually quite good.
Chilled out Statik beat, very good lyricism in Bun/Wale’s verses, and another good hook from Colin makes for a nice track. Video is a good fit for the audio, and will definitely rediscover/discover the good vibes about this one.

A few rappers have recently taken a turn on Drake’s Find Your Love. First up we had Consequence, followed by Rick Ross, Rock City, and now Fat Joe and Joell Ortiz. The Fat Joe and Ortiz versions can be collected below, and it probably goes without saying that I’m definitely a fan of Ortiz’s version. There’s also a megamix of all of the above verses (minus Rock City, sadly), kindly mixed together by Statik Selektah.

Yup, you heard right – Statik Selektah & Termanology are touring Europe. Luckily for us they realise the UK is in Europe (as other rappers conveniently forget). Check out the UK dates below.

Wow. Lots of featurage here (Yeah, I just made up a new word. And what?). Last month Indi dropped some of Statik’s material from his 100 Proof (The Hangover) album (there’s loads of stuff there so check it out).
Now I’m dropping my favourite track from the LP. As usual from the talented beat-maker/scratcher, Statik pulls in some of his contacts for another feature-heavy joint. I’m a big fan of Torae and I recommend you pick up some of his stuff. We know lots about Skyzoo and Rapper Pooh (Little Brother) so you know what to expect on this track. Pure fire.

New leak from Statik’s upcoming 100 Proof (The Hangover) album, judging by a previous ‘Classic Collabo’ post of mine and another recent feature heavy leak by Statik, you know this is going to be good. If that isn’t enough for you then the fact that Bun B, Wale and Colin Munroe all feature on this track should have your attention.
This track is pretty mellow which is perfect for Wale’s flow and with Colin Munroe’s hook, makes this a great track to chill to. Go get it below:

A quick one from me. Both tracks are pretty dope, and definitely worth grabbing even if you’re just a fan of one/some of the featured artists. The Statik Selektah track is especially good, considering it has a frighteningly talented line-up.

This track isn’t that old, in that it was made just over a year ago – however it makes it in this week’s Sunday’s Classic Collabo as this track is just vintage Hip Hop. Taken from Statik Selektah’s album Stick 2 The Script, this song just oozes that laid back Hip Hop vibe that first got me into the genre itself. Go check the video to your left, and then download the track below.
