New York rapper Intelligent Hoodlum (born Percy Chapman) served 20 months at Elmira Correctional Facility in Bing Hampton, NY for robbery in 1988, using the experience to immerse himself in works on African-American culture and the theology of the Nation of Islam. That combination underscores all of his work and makes his songs radiate with righteousness, anger, indignation, and frustration. It doesn't hurt that ace producer Marley Marl supplies the undergirding as well. ~ Ron Wynn, Rovi
