G, Esoteric, Pace Won, Young Zee, Danja\nMowf, Lonnie B, J-Live, Shabaam Sahdeeq, Lucky Dice, Ripshop and more, plus the\nfirst production from Statik Selektah and beats by Soul Searchers, Eddie Bones of\nSkitzofreniks, Ray Fernandes \u0026amp; Fakts-1.\nAlong Came the Chosen dropped in 2001 and was the first solo album from Reks, and the\nfirst album by a solo artist released on Boston-based Brick Records, which celebrates its\n30th anniversary in 2026 too. Its release was a defining building block in the long and\nstoried history of Boston independent hip-hop, and this album set the bar for what was\nexpected from MCs and Beatmakers on the Beatown rap scene and beyond.\nBrick Records and Reks are proud to celebrate its 25th anniversary with this deluxe\ndouble-vinyl pressing. \"Along Came the Chosen reaching its 25 year anniversary, being\nthe piece of art that established my hip hop career, is something monumental to celebrate.\nThe fact that individuals still reach out to me to express how they grew with this album\nmeans so much to me. There were so many voices in my ear telling me that being a\nsuccessful artist in this game required bending to popular trends and styles. This album\nallowed me to establish my own voice and identity, and I am thankful for Soul Searchers\n(Magoo and Rockwell) for being the foundational sound bed, Shay Boogs for being my\nfirst manager, and Brick Records for being the label that believed in me. I am happy to say\nwe have put out some incredible art together. This album boasts the first-ever\nStatik Selektah beat placement too! We have come a long way.
