I struggle for freedom…for the freedom of hip hop to be original. I make hip hop. Not in the sense of what you think hip hop is. But I make it from the ground up. It will test your mental. I write with a purpose. I make music for life. I hustle non-stop. Right now I'm restructuring. What has hip hop become? What's art and what's a product? What's the difference between a rapper? and a super brainwashed cookie cutter commercial studio gangster? What are you bringing to the table artistically? Every year major record sales decline.

This is where hip-hop is. Real hip hop lies in the Underground. Tampa's Underground.

-ADDEK- Strictly Underground. Strictly Independent. Strictly REAL Hip Hop. Strictly Tampa.

“A breath of fresh air from the smog of commercially-control messages of mainstream hip-hop.”
Mabili Ajani -Critical Times: Talk Revolution-

“This independent hip hop artist delivers some of the most provocative, politically aware and revolutionary lyrics in the region’s vital underground rap scene.” “The most original and resonant releases to emanate from the Bay’s underground rap scene to date.”
Scott Harrell -Creative Loafing-

“Addek the Suncoast’s most talked about hip hop performer, judging from reviews, air play and civic group recognition”
Mark Beyer - Tampa Tribune-

"When he delivers the line, “Intifada fighters, American occupiers, American liars, weapons suppliers,” you can feel Addek’s vitriol hit like a slap in the face. In a hip hop landscape littered with the bling-laden cadavers of gansta rap dinosaurs, Addek helps reinvigorate the concept of rap as social and political commentary. “Infamy,” despite some shortcomings, is razor-sharp protest music for the 21st century."
Ben McCombs -Pod Safe Audio-
