ATR (Ark the Relik)
Introspective (deep) and shallow, dark and light, hip hop but against the grain of the mainstream. Unique, conceptual, coming from all angles, my own angle, and no angle at all. Permeated by spiritual thought, never to exclude anything. Ark can rap about anything, and be real as it gets with it. This ain't about your going out being gangsta, fucking bitches, getting high, worshipping that damned dark lord, trying to be the god of hip hop - this is about me, my ideas, my beliefs, the shit I've been through, and the shit I see the world in. Ark is all things, and no thing at all, all way and none, and it's in the rap.
