Ishkan is one of those rare breeds of emcees that can rock over any beat,
say anything, and still sound tight as hell. He has a gift for creative
word play and is known among the City Planners as the dude who will try
and make slang out of anything. The funny thing is, most of them catch
on; similar to his rhymes which will stick in your head after only one
or two listens.
Another native of Vancouver Island (Victoria), he once rocked the Victoria
scene alongside Moka and long time hiphop veteran Birda Pres, before moving
on to again rock with the same dudes in Vancouver.
He has performed with everyone from The Pharcyde to Kool Keith to Isoscoles.
At the age of 24 he already has two releases to boast ("Bent, Twisted
& Gnarled" and "Cousin Coolout") both which he has
sold numerous copies of. Though a little behind in the prolificity department,
he has been picking up the pace recently and should have a "12 out
before 2000 is up.
