HERITAGE: Birmingham's Remtrex Dissects His Slang In This Flush Media Freestyle (2011)
Having turned his life around after a stint in prison, Birmingham legend Remtrex recently dropped Bars From The Pen 2, a follow-up to the first volume in 2018. The new edition balanced rap with grime and featured guest spots from AJ Tracey, Lady Leshurr, Belly Squad's Ty, Yatez, Young Smokez, and his collab with Jaykae, "Novocaine".
Taking to Instagram to announce the project, he wrote, "Right now I ain't in the best of positions. I think about it a lot and get very down with my current situation!" He also thanked his supporters and vowed to stray strong.
