Boston Baked Boom-Bap: Reks & 1982 (B2P)

Boston has been a vanguard of the Boom-Bap sound, incubating and supplying the culture with many true school acts, the height of which was during the underground movement's "Post -Backpack Era" of the early 2000's. A time when the current evolution of the urban music blogosphere lived on message boards and college radio.

 A lot of those artists have forged ahead, and in these murky days of Music Industry woes continue to keep the hard hitting sound thumping through your audio devices. For the Bloggeratsi video two-piece (B2P) we present Boston Boom-Bap.

Rapper Termanology & DJ/producer Statik Selektah teamed up last year to form the group 1982 and dropped an album. The video is directed by James Curtis.



A follow-up to their collaboration two years ago, Reks and DJ Premier reunite for this single off Reks' new album Rhythm Eternal King Supreme arriving in March on Statik's Showoff Records. Reks is also an alumni of that upsurgent era in the Boston scene. His third album will feature production from Pete Rock, Hi-tek, Alchemist and Nottz as well as guest appearances by Styles P. and Freeway among others.
