Rekstarr started out as a hip-hop producer. He used to bump burnt CDs full of his beats on those endless days waiting at the bus stop, shop class, mackin’ (and failing) some dime ass bitches in between classes, etc... Being raised on that real hip hop -- Dilated Peoples, DJ Premier, etc. -- Rek’s instrumentals had that raw New York flavor everyone loves.
While he still produces that raw hip hop shit, Rek’s influences and surroundings have made him venture musically. His cycle is now complete. Rekstarr has the ability to sound great in whatever genre he touches. “It’s not even about the genre, I never want to feel restricted. It’s about sitting down and making whatever the hell you like and feel like making at the time,” he says. And a few years ago, he ventured into house.
“I was tired of getting fucked over by the industry. I just wanted to share my music with those out there who appreciate great music and reach out for their love. What better way to do that than with a free album?” Revolved is all original beats using just Beatles samples. The album is a journey, from the introduction to the very end. Take one track out and it’s like taking out a scene from a blockbuster. Don’t be afraid to press play and just late it take you. Revolved is one hell of an album. Jam out and show some respect to my boy.
