Details:
The artist formerly known as Big Shank; is now officially known as Joe L. “Da’ Vessel!” The name Joe L. - though it is his first name and middle initial in short form it is also his way of paying respect to one of the great prophets of God "Joel". It is no wonder he would pay homage to such a great man of God, because he himself is striving to be a great man of God in this day and age. Joe L. was called to serve in the Kingdom of God at an early age, a call which he ignored until his later years. He got involved in hip-hop at the age of 13 when one of his best friends, DJ Shaft introduced him to the art of turntable-ism (it was Him. Dj Shaft & LR who came up through the elements of hip-hop together). From there, he knew that his real place was on the microphone performing in front of crowds whenever possible as Cool Joe Ski. Later, as Mr. Versatile; he began to record, do more live performances, and write songs for other artist. Still not finding the great success he so wanted, he linked up with some friends who had a production company called Master Blaster Inc. It was here that he was first able to express his creativity and blend with a group of skillful musicians with like minds and common goals. After a series of disappointments, this union was also cordially disbanded. Still later, as Big Shank; he journeyed out into “the industry” with success on his mind and a love for music that kept him looking for his big break in the rap game. He enjoyed some success under the tutelage of Charles Dyson and his camp at Squirt Entertainment/MoHuggs Productions. He even shot a video for the single “Long Dough” (produced by One Up productions; video directed by Phenomenon of Apocalypse Ent.) and had performed with many “major” artist but still without acquiring much major success! As time went on, Big Shank got tired of the politics and deception he had encountered along his path in the music industry, and decided to give up the pursuit of fame and fortune - that had become his main goal as an artist and chose instead to spend more time with his family and most importantly - with God! It was then that he discovered his real purpose for being. Finally, he was to be the man of God that he was called to be from a youth. After a hiatus from the studio, the hustle and bustle of the music business, and the stresses of deadlines and meetings and such; he’s back! Not as Cool Joe Ski, Mr. Versatile, Big Shank, Killajoe, Fat Boy Slick or any other of his many aliases but teaming up with D.A.A.S. Whats Up Entertainment formerly the producers of Dirty Loopz (originally Master Blaster Inc.) and his new band/choir called Melodic, he has returned as Joe L. “Da’ Vessel!” And this time, it’s not about the fame, the fortune, the accolades, or the awards. It’s all about the Lord-Hallelujah!!!
