i'm pleased with this release, bumping it for the second time right now. Reks is really dope with the wordplay and got a tight flow, i think his performance on this is even sharper than on "Grey Hairs" altho that is probably a better record overall. most of the producers came through with heat, there's a few filler songs but the majority goes. i'll listen to this again for sure.

I would say the first 9 songs on this joint are classic material, the rest of the album is Ok. 8/10

[UncontrolledSubstans]

Reks is spazzing out on this album. Hes performance is crazy.

[Nuttkase]

sick album!!!

01. "25th Hour" - fukkin dope track!! premo is god!!

[THE MASON]

cant find this at any stores, fuckin bullshit! have to make it an online order.

i dont know much about Reks as i havent heard the Grey Hairs album but what i heard from this dude can spit his ass off. and this is a cope of prodcution alone

[Undiluted Karma]

Not gonna vote on this yet, but what I've heard is great, and I'd rate the PR track over the Premo beat both are dope tho as well as cigarettes

[djskillz]

who do I gotta go to to get my late pass? real talk I was sleepin' on reks. off the strength of statik selektah's name I decided to check out that In Between the Lines Vol. 2 mixtape and I've been collecting his discography since then. This album is crazy.

I prefer this to Grey Hairs. Reks seems even hungrier on this album, generally prefer the beats too.

But it's the personal nature of this album sets it apart from anything else i've heard this year. Reks is a great lyricist, and it shows through more on this album than his others.

He puts everything out there on this album, and "names names".

[JakobR]

Album of the year along with Gutter Rainbows imo. Not always the most interesting lyrically but his rhymes and the beats are always top class.

Definitely worth the money.

4/5

[GhettoGnom]

Album of the year along with Gutter Rainbows
4/5

Really? :/


Anyways, album definitely bangs, probably going to stay as my fav Reks album (at least until he release something better).. Great production, nice, varied concepts, Reks killing it. My only complaint would be that it drags a little towards the end.

4.5/5

[RynMur]

Id give it a 4/5. Shit is ill!

[CEITEDMOFO]

NEVER HEARD OF GREY HAIRS OR ANY OF HIS OLD LPs BUT I ALWAYS KNEW HE WAS A BEAST

THIS ALBUM I REALIZED HE SOUNDS LIKE A NASTY VERSION OF TREACH

VOTED 4 FOR BANGER,
HIS TWO IN BETWEEN THE LINES MIXTAPES ARE ALSO ILL

^LISTEN TO THE "REPRESENT 2010" AND TELL ME HHE DONT SOUND LIKE TREACH


HERES ANOTHER TRACK FROM THE MIXTAPE FOR THE RIDE

[RADIOACTIVE MAN]

yo just did alotta listening to this dude today..homeboy is a fucking monster..shitt

[puerto rock]

This has that "Illmatic" sort of vibe to it. Reks is an ill emcee. He's great with the story telling and word play. That "Face Off" joint with Termanology was INSANE with them just going back and forth.

25th Hour, Thin Line, This Is Me, Cigarettes, and Mascara are stand outs for me but I like every track on here. Easily Reks at his best.
