Reks & Hazardis Soundz - Fear Of God (Feat. Knowledge Medina & High Collide)
Reks & Hazardis Soundz collaborative album, Eyes Watching God, displayed an uncanny chemistry, as they linked up to create a concept album which showcased the contrast between “good and evil” beginning with a “God Side” and finishing with a “Devil Side”; and the result is a highly conscious and fiercely political album.
Produced entirely by Hazardiz Soundz, Eyes Watching God also features guest appearances from N.O.R.E, Saigon, Fredro Starr, Termanology, Ruste Juxx, Dutch Rebelle and others to add to their cause.
Reks releases the visual for, “Fear Of God,” which is an iTunes exclusive track and features Knowledge Medina and High Collide.
