"Illa Ghee’s Social Graffiti drops next Tuesday, and TRU is proud to premiere its last leak prior to its release. The track titled "James Worthy" can be found in the very center of the album, and is key to many of the album’s themes. “People dig my lyrics but I’m not a super star. The same way James Worthy was to Magic and Kareem,” explains Illa Ghee about the song’s title, which hits a personal note tying into the album’s overarching theme of finding art in things overlooked, undervalued, or taken for granted, by the masses. According to Illa Ghee, “Most people look at graffiti and see it as trash. They don’t see the art, or the letters in the art. I feel like for Hip-Hop it’s the same thing… people don’t hear the beauty in the art form.”"

""James Worthy" is an understated track that fits the subject to a tee. Illa Ghee describes his m.o. over an ethereal vocal sample accompanied by crisp snares. The song doesn’t have a hook in the traditional sense, but rather interjects bursts of commentary from games the legendary Lakers player performed in, adding dramatic flair to the track."

"As an added bonus, there’s a tidbit of interesting trivia (well, interesting to a rap nerd like me, at least). Apparently, the way Illa Ghee likens himself to James Worthy inspired his homie Sean P to record a loosie in which likens himself to another Laker of yesteryear: Kurt Rambis. Why? Because according to P, like Rambis, he has “got to do the dirty work!”" (-J. Monkey, The Rap Up)

Supreme Cerebral - Champion Chips (Prod. By  Clypto)

To say REKS took the underground rap scene by storm would be an understatement, as over the course of his first decade on the scene he was the definition of consistent, unleashing three consecutive albums that firmly established him as one of hip-hop’s most revered new artists: Along Came The Chosen, Grey Hairs (primarily produced by Statik Selektah with additional production from DJ Premier & Large Professor), Rhythmatic Eternal King Supreme (which debuted on the Billboard charts and included production from Statik Selektah, DJ Premier, Pete Rock, Hi-Tek, Nottz, Sha Money XL & Sean C & LV).  

Rather than resting on his laurels, REKS choose to take his artistic direction and vision in another direction, devoting his time and energy to embark on a new mission working on passion projects (REBELutionary, Revolution Cocktail & Eyes Watching God); all of which foreshadowed many of the societal ails that we as a country and now fully embroiled in.

While REKS’ The Greatest X (pronounced as The Greatest Unknown) is not a comeback album, it is a return to force for the Boston wordsmith.  As he did on his previous stand-out efforts, REKS is back working with the industries elite producers (Large Professor, The Alchemist, Evidence, Statik Selektah, Nottz, Apollo Brown, Black Milk, Buckwild, Streetrunner) as he sets out to take the next step in his progression.  REKS has already set things in motion with the release of videos for the Streetrunner produced “Hands Up” (Wink Wink), the Nottz produced “The Recipe,” “Jump Shots” (produced by Buckwild) and “B*tch Slap” f/ R.A. The Rugged Man, which have all been favorably received.
