2 cats who love hip hop culture. IMG consists of Inkog & Mr. Gone. Inkog is the voice/lyricist and Gone is the producer/musician. Inkog & Gone met at Albany Open Mics in 2001 and have been partners in crime ever since.
Inkog, a Jamerican living in Albany, NY, has been writing rhymes and poems for years as well as painting and drawing. He puts his heart, soul and experiences into his lyrics, as well as themes of social commentary and protest. Inkog also does all of the group's artwork.
Born in Argentina, Gone has been in the Albany area since moving up from NYC. He has been writing poetry and messing with music for years. His music is very personal, making it the perfect match for Inkog's lyrics.
The duo have an LP titled "Unrest" coming out in 2007. Expect an eclectic but cohesive project. Inkog and Gone are just out to make some honest music reminiscent of the days when image didn't matter and skills were important.

It is a good rule in life Never to apologize. The right sort of people do dot want apologies. And the wrong sort takes a mean advantage of them
It is easier to cope with a bad conscience Than with a bad reputation.
Most people return small favors, Acknowledge medium ones, & repay great ones=with gratitude..
We judge ourselves by what we feel capable of doing, While others judge us by what we have already done.
Those that have done nothing in life Are not qualified to judge those that have done little.
We are inclined to believe those whom we not know, Because they have never deceived us!
