Bio
Poloneius Pluck hails as North Florida/South Georgia’s Freestyle Champion and is the most requested MC by local hip hop DJ’s and on-air talent for exclusive freestyles and show intro’s. The gifted rapper and animated performer was born in the South and raised in Duval County (Jacksonville, FL). In high school, he developed a unique style which was carved out of the East Coast hip hop that predominated the media and the Southern rap that flooded the streets.
Poloneius Pluck’s rise started in 2002. Notoriety and credibility as an emcee was quickly established as he consistently won battle after battle and championship after championship in freestyle competitions. In October of 2002, the then unheard of lyricist was placed in the first round of the emcee freestyle portion of Mike Bend’s Battle at The Beta Bar (Tallahassee, FL). As everyone in the building watched in awe, Poloneius Pluck (as judged by the crowd and local-celebrity DJ’s) unquestionably out freestyled every emcee he went up against in one non-stop clean sweep--including the prior week’s champion. He displayed a lyrical prowess and stage presence only seen in commercially signed acts. During the first quarter of 2004, he became the undisputed Freestyle King by taking home the God MC Award in a region-wide battle held at Floyd’s Music in Tallahassee.
Simply put, Poloneius Pluck represents the New South and is the future of Hip Hop.
