Fes Taylor has achieved what many artists only dream of: respect from all the generations of hip hop.
A native of New York City, Fes Taylor was born in Harlem and raised in Staten Island. This very talented MC realized early in his childhood that he had a passion for one thing: music. Before long his passion for music would prompt him to start perfecting his craft, soon this local prodigy could be found ripping apart talent shows and battling MC’s everywhere he could to gain his respect as a rapper. Impressed with his deep lyrical content and hardcore edge, Blackfist Records made him one of the original Shaolin Soldiers. Soon after, the MC then known as Profes made his debut on King Just’s 1994 album entitled Mystics of the God. The album sold over 300,000 copies and was an astonishing success.
This afforded Profes the opportunity to rise to another level. He began touring and did shows at Freaknic in Atlanta, Jack the Rapper in Florida and the very first Hot 97’s Summer Jam
