ECKS is the hip hop artist formerly known as Professor Ecks or alternately as The Revolutionary Boss. The latter of his names is derived from the fact that he boasts both street and revolutionary credentials. He is best known for his works with KRS-One and his mixtape appearances. Ecks is also the "Boss"/CEO of New Regime, an independent record label. Members of New Regime include Dub MD, Metro Beats, Tha Thundakatz and Hala-X.

Recently, Ecks claimed that mixtape giants Big Mike, DJ Kay Slay and DJ Green Lantern have all taken an interest in him, and that he has mixtapes in the works with all three. Members of Ecks entourage also stated that Ecks has turned down several record deals. Ecks has neither confirmed nor denied this, but has said he is not interested in signing a record deal until he accomplishes certain goals as an unsigned artist.

Biography

In 2007 Ecks retired after working primarily as a ghost-writer and producer. Citing family issues and a frustration with the industry, Ecks said he was unsure if he would ever consider unretiring.
