Ecks (formerly known as Professor Ecks) is a solo MC, who early in his career was deemed by Hiphop legends such as KRS-One to be “The Future of Hiphop”. The child of both 1960’s revolutionaries and the rugged streets of Washington DC, Ecks is set apart by a unique combination a hard hitting street poetry, and raw lyrics, and is believed by many to be a rising star in the music industry.
Ecks debuted at the age of 16, under the moniker of Professor Ecks, opening for such notable acts as The Roots, Fugazi and Good Charlotte. He was later discovered by Roots member Scratch, who introduced Ecks to KRS One. The two soon forged a relatiobship, and Ecks would go on to make his solo debut on KRS-One’s Spiritual Minded album. Ecks then went form his own rap crew and entertaintment company, New Regime, under which he released two critically acclaimed underground albums, The Middele East Mixtape and Bush Zepplin with producer Beatrippa as part of the rapper producer duo Bush League.
Recently Ecks has managed to parlay a strong underground buzz into relationship with some hiphop's most powerful figures, mixtape Moguls Big Mike and DJ Lt. Dan. Both have tabbed Ecks as the next big thing in hiphop music, and are both prepping forth coming collaborative efforts with the street poet, including new studio material with Royce da 5’9, Scram Jones and Dblock.
