 Notes  
     Born and raised in Lawrence, Massachusetts, street lyricist Corey
     Isiah Christie, better known as Reks, started out as a breakdancer
     in his teens and was part of a local B-boy crew called Funk Town
     Connection. By the time he entered college at University of
     Massachusetts-Amherst, Reks had built a reputation for himself in
     the local Boston rap scene, but then eventually quit school to begin
     recording for Brick Records.
     A few 12" singles, "I Could Have Done More" and "Fearless," arrived
     first in early 2001, before Brick issued his debut LP, Along Came
     the Chosen, later that year. A cult favorite in Boston-area rap
     circles, the album earned Reks nominations for Hip-Hop Album and
     Artist of the Year from the Boston Music Awards. Even with all the
     accolades, as well as press features running in Source, XXL, Vibe,
     and URB, Reks' career didn't ascend to the national stage.
     In fact, he self-released his second album, Rekless (2003), and had
     no distribution other than from the trunk of his car. In 2004, he
     turned to the mixtape circuit, releasing Happy Holidays (2005) and
     the Rash Music series, the latter of which was under his new group,
     M Diesel (which included Lucky Dice and Chi Knox). In this time
     period, he also hooked up with fellow Lawrence native and national
     mixtape guru Statik Selektah, eventually signing on to the DJ's
     ShowOff Records imprint.
     Reks made several appearances on Selektah's Spell My Name Right
     (2007) LP as well as on material by the DJ's up-and-coming protg
     Termanology. Executive produced by Selektah, Reks' ShowOff debut,
     Grey Hairs, was released in 2008. More Grey Hairs, a collection of
     tracks cut from the debut session, followed in 2009. It featured
     production by Selektah and DJ Premier.
     Rhythmatic Eternal King SupremeReks' fourth LP, Rhythmatic Eternal
     King Supreme, arrived in 2011. Along with the return of familiar
     faces like Premier and Selektah, Rhythmatic also included
     appearances by Pete Rock, Hi-Tek, and the Alchemist. The album was
     nominated for Hip-Hop Album of the Year at the Boston Music Awards
     and peaked at 41 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart.
     Selektah took the reins for the second time on Reks' fifth effort,
     Straight, No Chaser, which was issued in 2012. REBELutionary
     arrived the same year. After 2013's Revolution Cocktail and 2014's
     Eyes Watching God, Reks unveiled his ninth album, The Greatest X,
     in late 2016.
     All tracks produced by Soul Searchers with cuts by DJ Fakts One.
