Staying true to his roots, he paired up with long-time friend and producer DJ Deedot (Nate Krooks, Public Radio) whose broad production range is a symmetrical compliment to Wreckelekt’s charismatic microphone presence. Influenced by such artists as A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, and The Pharcyde, this emcee’s message-driven music is a reflection of the quality musicianship which flourished during the Golden Age of Hip Hop. It is evident that Wreckelekt is an artist who will be causing a stir in the Bay Area music scene with a sound and energy that will enthrall listeners.

With each possessing fresh and creative arrangement, Wreckelekt and Deedot collaborate for an awe-inspiring sound. Presenting his experiences with marked realism & irony, over deconstructed, progressive, jazz-infused beats, Wreckelekt tackles subjects and issues that relate to a broader audience while uncompromising the integrity of his lyrical artistry.
