TOOK DA CROOK
BORN AND RAISED IN THE SOUTH BRONX LAVONN REED AKA “TOOK THE CROOK” HAS HAD HIS SHARE OF EXPERIENCES WHILE GROWING UP. HE TURNED TO THE STREETS LOOKING FOR SOMETHING THAT HE FELT WAS MISSING IN HIS LIFE AND THAT’S WHERE HE EARNED HIS RESPECT FROM HIS NO NONSENSE ATTITUDE . AS A YOUTH “TOOKIE” AS HE IS AFFECTIONATELY KNOWN HAD TO FIGHT HIS WAY THROUGH HARDSHIP POVERTY AND THE MEAN STREETS OF THE BRONX (AND STILL FIGHTING) IN WHICH HE EXPRESSES THROUGH HIS LYRICS AND HIS ATTITUDE AND DEMEANOR THAT MAKES HIM STAND OUT AMONGST HIS PEERS. IN THE LYRICS HE RECITES FROM HIS POINT OF VIEW WHICH IS DETAILED, STRAIGHT FORWARD AND MOST OF ALL AS REAL AS IT GETS. TOOKIE MOVED TO THE CASTLE HILL SECTION OF THE BRONX IN THE EARLY 90’S WHERE HE MET AND BEFRIENDED FELLOW M.C’S SUCH AS S-1, HOCUS, LORD AND THE CEO OF BANG BANG BOOGIE P.O. CASTLE HILL IS WHERE HE EXPERIENCE SOME OF THE BEST AND WORST TIMES OF HIS LIFE AND THAT IS WHAT HONED HIS LYRICAL ABILITY.
