Editor's review
If tomorrow Labtekwon became one of mainstream rap's most highly heralded, he'd still sound intensely underground. He plays on words with ease like BIG, values that gritty aesthetic like Wu, and he's got an old-school aura that commands respect like KRS-One.
Biography
Mush, in conjunction with Ankh Ba Records, has collected seventeen tracks from Labtekwon's extensive catalog for the career retrospective, Song of the Sovereign. From his debut, Ghetto Gospel through The Future's Now... What's Next, Da Dawn, Da Helpless Won, Balti-Moorish Science, and Nile Child, to his lo-fi live recording Proverbs of Passion, and his most recent full-length, The Last Emcee/The Art of Love, Labtek's releases have been as innovative as they are impossible to find. Effortlessly shifting styles and content, running from hundreds-of-words-in-a-breath stream-of-consciousness channeling to take-no-prisoner battle raps, Song of the Sovereign is the perfect introduction to one of the underground's most respected and influential emcees.
