Born and raised in the White Center neighborhood in southern Seattle, Urrks (a moniker based simply on a childhood nickname) has spent over two decades quietly refining a distinct yet nostalgically familiar sound. His audio mosaics of carefully curated samples and heavy drums echo the likes of production heroes ranging from People Under the Stairs & The Sound Providers to Jake One & The Alchemist, now culminating into a production resume including many of those hip hop idols-turned-collaborators. Urrks listeners can rest assured that his beats are birthed not just from this musical inspiration, but also from a DIY approach where creative ends are the result of complete functional abuse of their own creative means. Urrks’s third person ramblings about his own greatness are most certainly true and accurate, both in their claims of skill as well as his own grammatical superiority.
