Ever since recording his first verse at the age of 15, Namek, born Joseph Huicochea of West Covina, CA has always had a passion for the art of rhyme. Influenced by artists such as The Last Emperor, DJ Quik, Slum Village, Guru, Battlecat, Kurupt & Abstract Rude versatility on the mic has become a natural attribute for him. From rocking backyard parties in 05’/06’ to performing in legit venues & collaborating with a few of his musical influences, the evolution of Namek has strongly shown.
