Fes Taylor has achieved what many artists only dream of: respect from all the generations of Hip-Hop. Earlier in his career, he was known as Profes, and was a member of King Just's Shaolin Soldiers, the first group to ever perform at Hot 97's Summer Jam. He enjoyed a burgeoning solo career, but never quite got off the ground. Later, however, Wu-Tang Clan member Inspectah Deck asked him to join his elite crew, the Housegang Animalz, who then released just one classic mixtape. The crew was splintered and redisbursed among several other Wu-Affiliated groups, but Fes stayed loyal to Deck, becoming the lyrical master's own personal protege, as well as a great stylist and lyricist in his own right. A member of the two-man crew, the Heart Foundation, Fes now found himself a G-Unit affiliate as well, possibly the only man able to walk comfortably in both circles! Always garnering his own respect and fans in the process, Fes has tirelessly released underground street albums, DVD's and mixtapes. The only thing eluding him now would be an official retail solo album, Flight 10304 (T-2 Fly). Wu-Tang legend Inspectah Deck cosigns Fes Taylor for this, his first ever solo excursion into Hip-Hop history. Appearing with Fes, are, of course Deck, Shyheim (Wu-Tang), Lot-A-Nerv, Mr. Prezident (Heart Foundation/G-Unit), and many others. Producers include Chad Beats, Falling Down, G-Clef da Mad Komposa, Flip, Blastah Beatz, and others. Available in CD and digital formats!
