Labtekwon is a Baltimore-based rapper who's known for his lyrical depth and ability to relate his personal plights to the struggles of the average man. With simple beats that tend to be sampled from 70s soul and funk recordings, Labtekwon rhymes over nostalgic instrumentals, telling stories about his struggles to make a living on the streets of Baltimore. Labtekwon started cutting tracks in 1993, and even though he hasn't gained widespread prominence, his radio-friendly singles and multi-date cross country tours have nevertheless managed to make him an integral part of the Baltimore hip-hop scene.
