March 21, 2007 (Press Release) --
Hip-hop has had its fair share of fools, but only one Master. Compared to none but only the likes of the great late Ol' Dirty Bastard and Flava Flav due to his unorthodox style, ODB saw so much of himself in Master Fuol that prompted him to adopting the Master, formed a group with him and passed him the torch. Master Fuol, who is most recognized for his starring role on MTV’s ground breaking “Lyricist Lounge Show,” can easily be considered the Richard Pryor of hip-hop. Much like the legendary comedian, there’s no telling what’s liable to come out of his mouth; but whatever it is, you know it’s going to be wild. It was Master Fuol and his ability to flip a comedic flow in a cipher with freestyle fiend Wordsworth and a few others that brought the idea to Lyricist Lounge co-founder Anthony Marshall to create the sketch comedy show for MTV. Master Fuol’s crazy energy and flawless flows made him the perfect candidate to star in the hip-hop variety show. It was his offbeat characters, as well, that significantly contributed to the “Lyricist Lounge Show” being one of MTV’s highest rated shows during its two season stint. A master of rhythmic flows, Fuol’s often explicit antics, both on and off stage, has made Fuol’s live show an experience few will ever forget.
Getting his feet wet in the gutters of the New York underground scene, Fuol began doing shows at the infamous Lyricist Lounge and his stand out performances on tracks like Thirsten Howl III’s “I Still Live With My Moms” and his own anthems “Drunkfist,” “Don’t Worr ‘Bout It,” and “Brownsville Kid” made him a hot commodity locally. The growing buzz bought the pair a ticket as the first unsigned acts to attend the “Lyricist Lounge” tour in 1998. Fuol has worked with some of the industry’s best from coast to coast including the late Big Pun, Snoop Dog, Eminem, Wu-Syndicate, JT Money, Pastor Troy, MJG, Killah Priest, DMX, Def Jef and many more who were all enamoured by his style. Although his style and show is very comical, his skills are no laughing matter. Fuol’s creativity and ability to capture an audience is mesmerizing and brings a refreshing change to the face of hip-hop.
