Hello my name is…
Paten Locke aka Therapy of Asamov (the ABs) & The Smile Rays.
I was raised in…
Boston but I rep Duval, chump…
The reason that you’re reading about me is…
I’m intriguing, hahaaaaa…um, ha, yeah…basically I rhyme, produce and dj, just what Ido. I been producing for cats like Mr.Lif, Akrobatik, Dres, and Cool Calm Pete, for years. I’ve also been touring with Lif, Ak, the Smile rays, and Asamov(the ABs) for years.
Right now I’m working on…
Promoting awareness of my debut LP Super Ramen Rocketship droppin on Tres Records, October 20, 2009. I did all the rhymes, beats and cuts on the damn thang so go check that out!
But I’d rather be…
Listening to “Kind of Blue” with my daughter.
My most prized possessions are…
My deodorant and toilet paper…do the math.
But I’d give it all away for…
I dunno, make me an offer…
The first thing I do in the morning is…
Pour a cup of earl grey tea and turn up some Dilla beats while I hit the shower.
The last thing I do at night is…
Blaze an el while I either listen to beats I made that day or watch Metalocalypse and/or whatever Danny Mcbride got out.
My momma always said…
Be the best person I can be. I sincerely try on a daily basis, some days are an epic fail though.
I love it when people…
Have a sense of humor and don’t mind spending the time we said we were gonna work on a song just laughing and buggin out.
I hate it when people…
Act like what there doing is so important. In the immortal words of my homie Slopfunkdust: “You aint fresh, lol.”
If you ever see me walking down the street…
Say ‘wadaaap!’ I’ll be like, “Holy shit! How you know me?” Then u say, “I caught you in Vapors mag, kid!” I’ll be like “Well hot damn, wadaaap!”
My most notable run-in with the law…
A few, but the last was notable one when I had to spend a nite in jail for a warrant that was completely unwarranted…word. All charges were dropped, some sort of error. Ain’t that some shit? That was about a week ago or something
If I had to say sorry it would be because…
I meant it. I got a good message but sometimes I deliver it all wrong.
I get real aggro when…
Ever i feel like it…lol.
The last time I swore I’d never drink was after a night of…
Drinking too much tequila. At one point in my life, I only drank tequila. Then I quit drinkin all together. For the most part, I might have a Jack and Coke every now and then. Hell, I might have a shot of tequila tonite. Don’t quote me, boy.
Future projects and plans…
For those people who like art of any kind to be aware that Paten Locke makes some enjoyable music. In a vein that might seem missing these days. I’m focused on this debut LP, but I produced an entire LP for my homie Dillon, and mad beats and rhymes for other cats. Oh yeah and DUMBTRON coming soon.
And before I leave I’d like to give a shout out too…
ASHABEAR…WILLIE EVANS JR…TRES RECORDS….THE SMILE RAYS…and VAPORS!…
peace!
