Penuckle is a lyricist hands down. He has this way of reaching your ears and staying there for a while. He has many names in the industry: The iron lion, The sales man of Life, or just plain o'l P. Born in a drug infested neighborhood, the odds were already stacked up against him. He grew up seeing his Mother abused mentally and physically by the men in her life. His peers around the tender age of 9yrs began to explore the lifestyle of gang culture. Everything around young Tim Ballard was absorbed into his mind; instead of becoming his surroundings he opted to relate on another level. At age 9 he used his love of poetry to further develop his skills as a becoming lyricist. Fast forward thru the years of shcool and community talent shows and the many nights of banging beats out on the wall with his fists, and Penuckle arrived at age 20 when he released his first release. The independent album 'The Feminine Face of God' was considered classic material by the local community of hip hoppers. After giving out all 500 copies that were pressed, he began working on his next album Dysfunctional Ante Colony. This album was then re-released as The Sun Beckons which was embraced by the press world-wide for its honesty and subject matter. Now, he returns with Blunts and Roses and is enthusiastic with this latest effort. 'Being independent in this business means one thing, you have your work cut out for you for sure..." -penuckleWith that in mind, he has nurtured relationships with key people in the business to ensure more publicity for his work. Enlisting the help of music supervisors and college radio promoters Penuckle is again bringing attention to himself and the fact that he is one amazing song-writer/lyricist.
