REKS BIO!!!!
REKS was born Corey Isiah Christie in Lawrence Mass. He was barely a teenager when he fell in love with the hiphop movement. As a youngster, REKS was into breakdancing and was a part of the Funk Town Connection(FTC) dancing crew that competed around the city of Lawrence. Soon after he would begin to experiment with the rhyming element of the culture, first by mimicking the styles of some of his early heroes(i.e. KRS-ONE and Slick Rick), then by penning lyrics of his own. As the years passed, REKS began to gain notoreity around his hometown as an impressive emcee through cypher battles and stage performances. Upon entering college at the University of Massachesetts at Amherst, REKS' thirst for the microphone continued to progress. After a year at the university, REKS would venture off to a flourishing Boston underground scene where he would begin penning his classic debut "Along Came the Chosen" under the guidance of his Generation X team formed with Soul Searchers production, manager Shay Boogs, and group members Lucky Dice, Chi Knox and Kiki Breevlife. Countless other members were affiliated to form a solid foundation. Brick Records would release his critically acclaimed LP which would see him nominated for best Boston Hiphop Album & Artist of the Year. REKS would go on to be featured in the Source,XXL, VIBE and URBS next 100 to blow up all while charting at the top of college radios playlist and placing 45 on Billboards hot new singles chart with
