Labtekwon is a cultural enigma and a creative phenomena in the universe of Hip Hop, performing at the Lyricist Lounge in New York and Project Blowed in Los Angeles; both recognized as the ground zero of true school Hip Hop artists on both coasts. Labtekwon has been the champion of Zulu Nation Freestyle Competitions and Poetry Slams in Atlanta, Georgia. Labtekwon has shared the stage with Afrika Bambaata, Rakim, MF DOOM, Psycho Les, A Tribe Called Quest, Brand Nubian, KRS-One, Black Thought, Aceyalone, Digital Underground and countless other Hip Hop artists that represent the pinnacle of lyricism and excellence. He has left his mark on 28 releases including 15 full lengths on his own Ankh Ba Records. Noting Labtekwon's varied discography Urb Magazine called him 'the most eclectic mother fucker to ever emerge from Baltimore since John Waters'. From his 12' 'I Am Here' to his pioneering efforts with the 410 Pharaohs on the first Baltimore Club Music/ Hip Hop hybrid album: 410 Funk, Labtekwon has put a brand on the underground scene for posterity and die hard collectors alike. His 1998 full length 'Nile Child' is widely held as an underground classic and has landed him a seed in the 1999 Urb Next 100 and he has been consistent ever since. Labtekwon is an enigma of galactic proportion. Considered the "Thelonius Monk of Hip Hop" by Chuck D of Public Enemy. Labtekwon=Future Shock.
