Scourge: (n) A source of widespread dreadful affliction and devastation such as that caused by pestilence or war. A means of afflicting severe suffering, vengeance, or punishment. A whip used to inflict punishment. To chastise severely; excoriate.........The Wack.
In 1996, amidst a 2 year plus period of incarceration SKURGE was born within my mind. An MC named by one word; a word with a definition describing so precisely the angle of hip hop SKURGE expresses. Grimmey B-Boy Battle rap. Wordplay. Straight up eating the beat! The word defines feelings SKURGE has towards all the wack shit in the hip hop music industry as well as in the streets. So, as a tool of punishment, a disease to wack MCs, Skurge put the pen to the pad and used time spent in an institution to lyrically and stylistically battle other cats, proving his ability to devastate. The Recording industry and a Global audience became the next targets.
In 1998 SKURGE met DJ Slim, now better known as Jae Synth, of Underground Movement Sounds and its been on and crackin' since then. Local favorites like Footsteps in the Sand, Trivial Pursuit, and At the Same Time were created during this period. With a taste for the Jungle/Drum'n'Bass sound SKURGE became a devout Junglist MC(arguably one of the best Junglist MCs on the West Coast) and could be seen rocking at various Raves & parties in California and Nevada alongside Dj's like Slim'n'Tofu, Billy Lane, R.A.W., Reason, Kron, Dotcom, and Taboo.
SKURGE is one of four MCs in the Northern California-based hip hop group Righteous Movement, further displaying his versatility. Going by alias P.r.o.f.i.t. , which stands for Purposely Reaching Out For Independent Thinkers, Skurge touches on heavier subject matter, and real life issues, for those who like a little substance with their style. Check P.r.o.f.i.t. and Righteous Movement out at http://www.myspace.com/righteousmovement. This page is here for fans of SKURGE as a solo artist; to gain insight, hear about shows and treat their ears to the heat he brings. And why is Skurge here? To be a part of the solution.
A sample of SKURGEs work:
One of my lyrical missions is to catch, wreck, collecting respect and recognition. Projecting my vision in addition to protecting tradition; injecting whats missing, not just the deaf neglecting to listen. Many mens objective is dissin, describing diamonds glisten. MY ambition is spending time as a rhyme magician. The mind physician, in prime position to operate. Feed you beats for anesthesia, we leisurely copulate. STOP and WAIT! Pause for the cause, observing speed laws. The weed cause(s) certain MCs to breed flaws. Indeed with me, qualities guaranteed, yall. Proceed to verbally freefall.... I'm your nemesis, evil resident present on premises. Systems analyst, searching sentences for blemishes. You've been suspected of incorrect use of dialect. Apparently wackness infected your entire sect, and I elect, the euthanization across the nation, of these wack emcees , to make it safe for future generations. I'm losing patience with local radio stations, who display no relation to the foundation but stay embracing imitations. Your camp is facing devastation. Sun, my FAVORITE recreation is the battle situation. Every bar you spit, you're wasting. Falling short of their coordinates, so cease recording it, or face the consequence for INSUBORDINANCE! The mic: I'm hoarding it, with or without a chord in it. The price you pay for warring with SKURGE is absurd you're not affordin' it. I give it more than it takes, all that I've got. Most days: ignoring the fakes, Today I'm not. What I'm hearing got me hot Cursory nursery rhymes. Shallow verses and lines. Plagiarism. Perjury crimes 1 time for your mind! This Underground Movement Sounds design is sublime, for mankind. Yes Yes y'all, ya don't stop, thus Underground Movemnt Sound be the sure shot Yes Yes y'all, ya don't quit, where's all my B Boys and girls who rock shit??!!
