Amid a sea of characters proclaiming themselves "Dons" of the rap game, emerges a new, dynamic rap artist simply known as Da'Tick. With pulsing lyrics and a charismatic delivery, Da'Tick is a performer definitely worth lending an ear to. Da'Tick has a style all his own, but takes time to pay homage to his predecessors. He says that rappers and emcees like Method Man, Ice Cube,Royce the 5'9, M&M and of course Tupac, have influenced his love and respect for the rap and Hip Hop genre. Once you hear him flow, you'll agree that Da'Tick is an individual whose star is certainly on the rise. Da'Tick whose birth name is Antione English, was given his nickname in high shcool . His peers labeled him Da'Tick because of his calm nature and explosive temper, saying he was "like a timebomb." 'Tick is still mild mannered, yet he now uses his music to unleash any unchecked emotions. For instance in his song " Let It Go", Da'Tick takes time to send a message to his birth place, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He says he loves the city and the people, but hates the lack of support Miltown artists show each other. He feels that there is room for everyone to be successful, and artists should help each other out instead of bringing one another down. Da'Tick goes on to say you can either "Get right or get left." You can either "Build or destroy. We're all trying to do the same thing." He wants to help put Milwaukee on the map the right way. Along with his ground breaking lyricism, Da'Tick is a vibrant performer. His stage presence commands attention before a single verse is dropped. Some of his past performances include shows at Savoys, North Division High School, and at Club Timbuktu. Tick's April 7th 2007 performance at the So Illustrious Entertainment "White Party", brought the house down. This formidable artist is definitely someone to keep your eye on. It won't be long til' Da'Tick is widely recognized in the music and entertainment industry! Currently, Da'Tick is working with and being mentored by the knowledgable team at Block Star Records out of Milwaukee. Everyone recognized the raw talent 'Tick brings to the table, and quickly made him a priority on the label, which is headed up by CEO Diablo Corleone. A&R Director Yohanc'e got chills the first time he heard Da'Tick rip the mic. The staff at Block Star are all putting forth maximum time, energy, and effort into seeing 'Tick reach his potential. While many new artists are "cookie cutter" images of each other, one artist is clearly set apart. Da'Tick is hype, charismatic and is ready to prove himself as such. With remarkable lyrics, a commanding stage presence, and hunger, it won't be long til' he's "properly crowned King". Keep your eyes peeled for an indestructabe timebomb, Da'Tick...
