Band Members: At the core of Delinquent Monastery is three emcees with unique yet complimentary styles. The group was formed in 2001 by Skyline High school
classmates Luchan "Ajaxx" Baker III, and Ricardo Plex Rock McCoy. An impromptu freestyle battle at a show in June of 2002 with a hungry emcee
known as Lush One (Nicholas Hyams) led to the completion of this mighty trio of emcees.The Trio has performed together since 2003 and has established an energetic stage presence weather it is for the mainstream club scene or the
underground backpackers. These cats get down with that unique and unmistakable Bay Area vibe. Blending social commentary, battle rap brovado, street wise insight, and heart felt poetic soul. Delmon rhymes over original tracks, rare undaground bangas, and a few classic riddims. They have dropped a successful yet below the radar series of mixtapes that have the streets of bay area buzzing and highly anticipating Streets of Rage
