The cry echoes out into the darkness that we call outer space. The cry penetrates the wob of death. A child stirs. He hears their cries. He knows its time. Time for a change. Time for a revolution. Time for a hero. Time for a warrior.
Timothy Dark was born in the 1970's, and had a dual upbringing, living with his parents in East Elmhurst, Queens on weekends, and staying with his Grandma in the South Bronx during the week. He soon developed a love for the culture of the Bronx, which he affectionately calls "the Boogie" hanging with the local crews around Melrose Ave. Break dancing, graffiti, gang fights, drug dealing, it was all around, it was all inspiration. But one thing appealed to him more than any of these things, and that was the music. Melle Mel, The Fat Boys, Salt and Pepa, Run DMC, Slick Rick, Public Enemy, Michael Jackson, they all amazed and inspired him. He soon developed his own skills as a rapper and went through rap group after rap group, never satisfied. In 2002 after the break-up of his last group, Fallen Angelz, he began work on his latest album Dark Warrior.
The album chronicles the thoughts and dreams of Timothy's alter ego the Dark Warrior, a being from the stars who has arrived on Earth to establish a new church of love and music. Life imitates art sometimes for just as the album was released Timothy began to explore the East Village's infamous Antifolk open mikes. There he found himself embraced by the acoustic-punk misfits on the scene. He began collaborating regularly with the likes of Lach, Joie Dead Blonde Girlfriend, Joe Bendik, and other stars of this burgeoning new movement. Suddenly, a rapper from the South Bronx was headlining the premiere Antifolk club, The Sidewalk Café, in the East Village.
Today, Timothy Dark and the Dark Warrior's goals are one. As expressed in a recent interview with antifolkonline.com " I want to start my own church, well, not so much a church like a building per se, but a following of people who will come out and listen to what I am rapping about. I want a mobile church that moves with me. I don't want a record deal. If people come out and listen and pay 5-10 dollars to see me, buy some CD'
