"S.T.I.N.K" Survived Taught Ignorance Now King
BORN IN CAMDEN N.J'S PARKSIDE SECTION, D. RECTOR aka S.T.I.N.K (Survived Taught Ignorance Now King) IS SET TO PUT THE "HIP" BACK INTO HIPHOP. WITH A WELL ESTABLISHED REPUTATION AS A SKILLED FREESTYLE ARTIST STINK HAS MATURED INTO AN EXCEPTIONAL SONG WRITER AND LYRICIST. AFTER PUTTING HIS RAP CAREER ON HOLD TO FOCUS ON HIS GROWING ART COMPANY (STINK IS ALSO A TALENTED PORTRAITIST AND FINE ARTIST) STINK IS BACK WITH A NEW SOUND, STYLE AND MOTIVATION.
WHILE MOST ARTIST STRUGGLE TO STAY CURRENT IN THE CONSTANTLY CHANGING WORLD OF HIP "NOT" STINKS ABILITY TO CRAFT SONGS THAT APPEAL TO A WIDE RANGE LISTENERS MAKES IT EFFORTLESS TO RIDE THE WAVES OF THE TUMULTUOUS MUSIC BUSINESS. HIS CREATIVE NICHE WAS OBVIOUS EARLY IN HIS RAP CAREER. AS A MEMBER OF THE RAP GROUP P.I.M (PROGRESS IN MOTION) THE GROUP WAS KNOWN FOR THEIR UNIQUE WRITING ABILITY. CREATIVITY CAN ALSO BE A HINDERANCE IN SUCH A FICKLE MUSICAL GENRE. WHILE A MEMBER OF "BAND OF THE HAND" SECURING A RECORD DEAL SEEMED VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE DUE THE OVERLY ALTERNATIVE NATURE OF THE GROUPS MATERIAL. ALTHOUGH
STINKS CREATIVE WRITING SKILLS WERE OBVIOUS THE RAW REALITIES OF STREET LIFE WERE JUST AS EVIDENT. AS A SOLO ARTIST STINK WAS ABLE TO ESTABLISH A BALANCE BETWEEN REALITY AND CREATIVITY WHILE AVOIDING BEING PIGEON TOED IN THE SO CALLED GANGSTA RAP BRACKET.
PERHAPS THE MOST PIVOTAL MOMENT IN STINKS JOURNEY THROUGH THE UNDERGROUND WORLD OF A NOW VERY POPULAR GENRE OF MUSIC WAS LINKING UP WITH DJ POCKET. AS A MEMBER OF THE RAP GROUP BAND OF THE HAND STINK BEGAN RECORDING SOLO SONGS WITH THE DJ TURNED PRODUCER. THE TWO HAD AN OBVIOUS VIBE AND HAVE EVOLVED INTO ONE OF THE BEST PRODUCER/ RAPPER TANDEMS IN THE GAME. THROUGH POCKET STINK ALSO BEGAN COLLABORATING WITH HIP HOP LEGEND CULTURE FREEDOM OF THE POOR RIGHTEOUS TEACHERS AND COUNT BASS D.
STINK AND POCKET HAVE GONE ON TO RECORD A PLETHORA OF TRACKS TOGETHER. AN UNRELEASED MIXTAPE "STRICTLY SWIFTNESS" WAS LEAKED IN 2005 AND THE FULL LENGTH LP "PIECES OF A DREAM", (AVAILABLE ON itunes, rhapsody, emusic) WHICH SHOWCASED SOME OF THEIR EARLIER RECORDINGS WAS RELEASED IN 2007 THROUGH THEIR INDIE LABEL SERIOUS KNOCK ENT.
ALTHOUGH HE HAS WON SEVERAL FREESTYLE BATTLES (WEST PHILLY SUICIDE CYPHER) HE PROMISED HIMSELF TO NEVER BE KNOWN AS JUST A "MIXTAPE RAPPER". WITH HIS CURRENT COLLABORATIONS WITH HIP HOP PRODUCER "ODDIZHE" SERIOUS KNOCK IS SET TO RELEASE STINKS 2CND FULL LENGTH LP (CURRENTLY UNTITLED). ALSO, CHECK FOR STINK ON THE TRIGGA TEAM MIXTAPE FEATURING LONG TIME FRIEND AND PARTNER IN RHYME "GOD'S GIFT". WITH THE CURRENT STATE OF HIP HOP STINK IS SURE TO FILL AN OBVIOUS VOID OF WHAT HE REFERS TO AS CONCEPT ORIENTED RYMES AND REASONS!
