About Me
PADE Records is independently owned and operated record label founded by musician/promoter S.K. (rap's Steve King). It wasn't until the late 90's that he began constructing an incredible arsenal of verses, many still unrecorded. Most of his verses contained tales of his I-95 days, when he frequently made the trip from his home in Wilmington to Philly for "business ventures."
"Philly was bubbling around this time because Beans just signed with the ROC, Major Figgas had "Yeah That's Us", RAM Squad just dropped "Up In Here", and the Roots were really comin up, so I got a chance to spit with some hungry kids that came up with these dudes. At first, I wasn't really fuckin' with rap seriously, but eventually I got pressured into it by friends who thought i had potential. I started screamin' that DE shit (because) that's where I was at, and that got respect because there wasn't a lot of Wilmington or New Castle cats that had a name out yet." (SK)After a run in with the law in Delaware at 17, SK fled to PA to avoid any sentencing he may receive. "I remember the run, and really, it was a few of the wildest months of my life. I mean, I was 17 gettin' money, more money than most people with 9-5's, so I'm feelin untouchable. Eventually I guess I was gettin too much money, and got re-arrested for some other shit, and being 17, they could only keep me for a maximum of 9-12 months, with my Delaware sentence running concurrent. I did 10 , so I had a little bit of time to put my thoughts into words. It was this time that made my raps as real as they are today. I don't talk about Ki's or 20's on a car, cuz I never lived that. But I did live the street life at one point, and that's what you'll hear. A life of struggles and hustles, legit and not so legit. I mean, I went from jail to Penn State University for business, trying to use my abilities legally. So in every one of my newer verses, you'll hear the street shit, but you'll hear a little bit about trying to go change. But don't get it twisted, don't ever, ever forget where you came from."
