Go hard til my dream is not just seen in my sleep

About Me

Born Willis Walker II on December 20th, 1985 in Buffalo, NY. I've been writing rhymes since I was eight years old. I go by the name Intelek, which means brilliance and the ability to think profoundly. I'm constantly working on new material not only for my music fans around the US and Canada, but also to continually better myself. I believe in hard work and always strive to reach a higher level of excellence. Most of my material is 100% original unless i post a clip featured on one of my upcoming mixtapes. In that case I like to go hard over industry instrumentals for the fun of it. Non original music featured on my profile is usually a just a small clip. Any questions just get at me. In the meantime, enjoy!SHOUTOUTS:First and formost God for blessing me with this gift and the resources to share it with the world. You are the true source of my strength.My Family: Mom and pops, for raising me into the young man I am today. Mom, you passed on your wisdom and patience and made sure that my music always has class and integrity. Dad, things you didn't say out of your mouth, you showed me by example and I'm a better person today because of it. Kiki, for all the advice growing up. I'd be lost without your wisdom and words of encouragement. Shannon, I look at you as my big little sister because at times I feel like you're ahead of me.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 4/8/2007
Band Website: zoomoozik.com/intelek
Band Members: Will aka IntelekProducers: B-ond J-Harris Supastarr
Influences: I like to say that I’m influenced by everything around me. I could see a crack in my porch steps and a musical idea can come to me. One of the great things about being an artist is that you can be as random and creative as you want.Musically I’m influenced by Nas, Lupe Fiasco, Common, Jay-Z, Kanye West, Notorius B.I.G., Mos Def, Ludacris, and Gym Class Heroes
Sounds Like: For the most part, I try to give my material a soulful sound with a slightly conscious feel. Most of my songs are fun, motivational, and to the point with topics spanning from not being blinded by the limelight to moving on from lost love.A lot of people say that I’m a completely different rapper on my mixtapes... The purpose of a mixtape is solely to promote. Its a way of showcasing your skills so people see what you got and A&R’s see that you’re "marketable"... I usually say over an instrumental whatever is left over after i track a good LP song. Usually full of me venting about more shallow topics and souped up with catchy hooks and punchlines. On a mixtape I’m obviously significantly more cocky. On an original song usually fit for my LP project, my lyrical content is more deep, analyitical, and conscious. This is where I pour my heart while trying to touch yours. I guess this is where you find the profound brilliance in "Intelek".Rather you enjoy the shallow me or the deep me, I always do what I do for you, the fans. If you have any questions or comments concerning my material, then feel free to hit me up anytime. I do take constructive criticism seriously and I always take the time to respond as honestly as i can.Ya boi,Intelek
