Buy your copy at ..BEST BUY.., ..iTUNES.., ..AMAZON... ...... ..BIOGRAPHY....Rhyming is an art form. Just like painting, dancing and hustling. If you don't know the techniques of the genre you can easily be swept off your feet. Enter Hip Hop staple, Poison Pen, a battle MC turned street prophet. The Brooklynite started in 1996 at the first online radio station 88HipHop.com, before tearing through the streets as the undefeated champ of the NYC MC battle circuit. After participating in the Blaze Battle, Pen decided to retire in 1999 and later host the most popular lyricist competition to date, Da Cypha Emcee Battles featured throughout NYC including special showcases at Kevin Powell & Russell Simmons' Hip Hop Speaks. .... It was hunger, not chance, that brought Poison Pen to the forefront. Founder of indie rap clique Stronghold, members including Breez Evaflowin' C Rayz Walz, Immortal Technique and DJ Static before the group released the acclaimed mixtape Stronghold Volume 1. The result was a classic collaboration. "As far as the recording, I don't do Pro Tools rap. I don't do that record & send it out to a nigga I don't know have him email me a verse back... Naw, I don't make music like that." .... Good music has always been his focus. His first appearance on wax "On the Mic" floated off the shelves in '98 just two years before receiving his own distribution through Landspeed Records for his debut single "Top of the Food Chain". But the microphone monster didn't stop there. He lifted Rainmakerz Records with his second solo joint "Fall Back" before slaying the video game industry lyrically. Lending his voice to high selling vids The Warriors and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories Pen's rhyme schemer duality would keep fans thirsting for his own album. "I been on everybody's else's shit – but never my own", says Pen, with more fervor and honesty than agitation. "I did MF Doom's "Bloody Chain", the Beatminerz album, Apathy's "Eastern Philosphy" album and both of Immortal Technique's Revolutionary Volume 1 and 2." He smiles that wicked wattage unusual for a grimy street survivor. "We helped the whole NYC come up.... Now NYC needs to let me do the same". .... He makes it look easy. Making records, appearing in Dave Chapelle's Block Party, VH1 Hip Hop Honors and MTV's The Shop, & DFX, spitting countless bars on albums not your own. Pen has a way of keeping his name on the tongues of Hip Hop heads without breaking a sweat. Poison Pen continues to tour Hungary, Amsterdam and Norway with the gutter mentality and linguistics that fans have grown to love, and released his unofficial first solo album, titled "Pick Your Poison: The Mark Of The East" on Fontana/Universal records. .... His upcoming project "The Money Shot" album will be available on August 4th, 2009 . Pen describes the album it as an aural, rap, climax “Where everything builds up to that particular moment nothing else (before that) matters.” “The Money Shot” is an extension of Pen’s persona and a view into another side of his personality. He explains that with this album, “I don’t want people to think that I’m the nicest rapper on the planet. I proved I was nice when I was 18. I’m just trying to bug out and entertain.” This album has a lighter tone and the colorful rhymes combined with odes to alcohol and drunken shenanigans will bring a smile to anyone’s face. This rhyming life is definitely an art form. .... .. ..
