Hip Hop Press - Hip Hop Press Releases

In every genre of music there is one artist or few who bend that genre and contort it all while keeping its essense. That Genre is Hip Hop. The artist is Penuckle. Unfazed by the glamor and gleam of the bling era, Penuckle is an artist of principle and conviction. He comes from an era where hip hop had only one primary scene that drew from influences of the jazz and soul and classic rock genres. Struggle was still a source for drive and inspiration, rather than just a marketing tool to sell records.

Penuckle's music contains edge, vision, and just heart-warming melody. One listen to any one song and it paints itself on the interiors of the mind. He has done shows with celebrated peers of his hip hop culture and continues to build a strong force to be exposed upon the release of his Debut studio album.

"The Sun Beckons" hosts an eclectic, urban, ensemble of tunes with insight that only Penuckle can deliver. Production is snappy/crisp with rolling drum samples and a constant presence of Boom Bap that will rock any stiff neck back and forth with a smile. There are 16 trks of realness and character. Look for the Album "The Sun Beckons" to be in stores February 7, 2006 on Basement Records/SonyBMG/Red Urban Music.
