Rek The Heavyweight (Hip-Hop)

Rek The Heavyweight grew up south Minneapolis, Minnesota, in a household full of music lovers (his Mother and Father both being pianists). Music flowing through the house ranged from Duke Ellington to Earth Wind and Fire. Fast forward... Rek (Derek Turner) would become Presto, one member (along with Saddiq) of the Breakin' Angels and would make his splash popping and breaking. 1983 would be the year that Presto would accept the moniker of Rek and pen lyrics for the first time. He, along with King IXL and another peer, Omar, would form the MC/DJ crew 3 Tuh Get Ready. The threesomes' highlight would become performing with A Tribe Called Quest. Six years later in 1989 he and Sean Daley would become D. Spawn and Sluggo, forming Urban Atmosphere.
