Abdul Khaliqalso known asA dot KThey say that within every person lays the potential to master one art. For the Hip Hop artist known as A dot K, such mastery is hastening toward actuality and is causing the industry to take notice. With arguably the best live freestyle debut on a radio station interview, 96.1 FM in Californiaâ€--s Inland Empire dubbed A dot K--s debut single Raise Some Hell as ˜the IE (Inland Empire) ANTHEM and as current projects with the urban-popular radio station 93.5 KDAY in Los Angeles continue to manifest, A dot K continues to fine tuning his skills in order to proudly represent true Hip Hop to the fullest. Priding himself on having been raised in the two most influential cities in the business, he admits that it was in Bronx New York that he was introduced to the rap game. Ironically it is in New York
underground record pool Sure Record Pool that A dot K has ranked above popular artists such as Nelly, T.I., Pretty Ricky and Junvenile. Indeed the ears are still to the streets because the popular underground magazine .
Urban Network has also featured A dot K on the West Coast where he spent the second half of his life honing his skills. The message is rather simple: ˜art reflecting life rather than an attempt to glorify the violence and brutality of life in the streetsHaving a long list of influences, A.K. credits East coast rappers such as Rakim, KRS-1, Notorious B.I.G., Nas, and Jay Z for their storytelling expertise, and West coast rappers such as Tupac Shakur, Snoop Dogg, and Scarface for their lessons on how to remain true to oneâ€--s self in the industry.What A.K. hopes to bring to the music industry is the ability to not be pigeon-holed into one particular category of Hip Hop while establishing a career that will allow him to share his passion for music with as many different types of people in the world as possible. Bridging the gap between East and West are among his highest goals and as a writer/producer/lyricist his versatility will hopefully offer him longevity in the business. On his debut album A.K. offers musical genres that include R&B, and Reggae.
