REKS explains the motivation for the song "Hands Up” (Wink Wink) was made as a wake up call to those tuned out to our realities and engaged by societal distractions. “In essence, I believe when a class of citizens are oppressed for an extended period of time, there is a point where they have little choice but to awaken. In today's America, not much has changed for the masses who were labeled 3/5 of a person in The Constitution. At the song's root is the idea of being policed differently from our neighbors solely on the basis of our melanin. We are shot in the streets like dogs and described as radical when defending the idea of our freedom.”
“Hands Up” (Wink Wink) is produced by Grammy Award winning producer Streetrunner, who has provided beats for Terror Squad, Lil Wayne, LL Cool J, Ludacris, Twista, Joe Budden, Nicki Minaj, The Game, Royce da 5'9", Rick Ross and others.
