MANEK1-The Least Expected

About Me


Expected least yet so mighty likely the most...

I've been blending in with the shaddows of the City of Churches for years now. Just loving to spit a rhyme for the hell of it. But even if you haven't already heard, when the time comes, you won't have any choice. The industry may have changed but REAL HIP HOP IS STILL THE SAME.

What a year!
I've been on the grind this year like never before and the results speak for themselves. First of all recording, mixing, even featuring on Dialects Rugged Uncut album (OUT NOW!!). Ive also been working on a live instrument based Hip Hop project with Funkwig and Social Change and it's coming along real nice. I'm also slowly but surely churning out tracks with Stratus for my yet to be titled debut. This ones been years in the making and to be completely truthful, it's gonna absolutely blow shit apart in a major way FOR REAL! I also dropped a verse on the upcoming Alteriegn debut for my old friends Nixon, Loonastang and Shinkenslick
On top of all that, I'm studying full time (Diploma of Sound Technical Production). So if I haven't been out and about for a while, you probably get why. Be sure to grab yourself a copy of Rugged Uncut and see what all the fuss is about. Goodlookinout. Peace

Gotta show some love to some of the heads that I've worked with over the years, syphered with, gotten drunk, blazed, OT and just plain ol' grown up with. Big ups to Loonastang, Kato Londes, DJ Nixon, Kaskade (rock the Kazbar!) Freindly Fire Productions, Mr. Schem, Drizlax (still love ya bro, blue room days are forever) AA Bateries The C--T Mob, V.K.M. Ariels (Ive known ya'll since day one), NTA, Chats ...The whole fucken crew. Big ups to The Monk, J2ski AKA Spacemartian (eat a donger) J Castellanos Stars Only Productions (my first producer). Mr. Traps, Shooter (Never misses, Cool as ice) The game Over heads and Style High Club (I've aways got love for ya'll, keep killin it) and last but not least Prince Po for still being the realest despite legendary status in the game and giving dreamers like myself the opportunity and belief that I can make this happen. Many Thanks to all of you EVEN THE SKY"S NOT THE LIMIT
Influences: Definately a lot of shit that was coming out of New York in the 90's had a heavy influence on me, but not exclusively. Groups like (in no particular order) Gangstarr, Organized Konfusion, KRSONE, Wu-Tang, E.P.M.D., Tribe Called Quest, D.I.T.C., The Roots, Bootcamp, O.G.C., Grouphome, Artifacts, Channel Live, Def Squad, Jeru The Damaja, Notorious B.I.G., Busta Rhymes, De La Soul, Getto Boys, Gravediggaz, Heltah Skeltah, Jurassic 5, M.O.P., Pete Rock and C.L., Trem (I still remember freestyling for hours to the instrumentals on his first vinyl!) and probably a few more that have slipped my mind right now.
