    "Strick (also known as Stricklin, born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin) made his official debut in 1999, when he signed to rap label Tommy Boy Records. Strick was featured alongside Detroit MC Royce Da 5'9" on Tommy Boy's Black Label, and the two collaborated on the track "It's Over" from the Hip Hop 101 compilation. After his deal with Tommy Boy fell through, Strick began making numerous appearances on underground mixtapes, one which attracted the attention of Masta Ace, who enlisted Strick for an appearance on his 2001 album Disposable Arts. Strick then joined Ace for the album's supportive tour. He also appeared on Ace's 2004 album A Long Hot Summer, and was featured on that album's supportive tour as well."

    I'd definitely be checking for that, IMO, He came across as really talented as you say, particularly on FAY.

    lol 2004.... that's like 7 years ago now lol. Shame dude 'fell off' so to speak without his skills even weakening. Hoping he comes back with a nice album, dude deserves his shot at an LP.

    EMC were set for another record, last year, but it's been put back to this year... and given a TBA name. Either way, sounds as though it's coming.
