Since he moved here from Jacksonville, Florida, this kid has been making serious moves in Atlanta. After a brief stint as label mates on the now defunct Arc The Finger Records, Dillon Maurer, formerly known as Intellekt, paved his way and made a name for himself on the ATL hip hop scene utilizing a cool, confident delivery over jazzy rap beats. You can tell that he puts a lot of time into his art. His honest lyrics and comfortable flow make the listener feel like they know Dillon before ever meeting him face to face.
Also an incredible chef (check out his blog, DillonAteThat.com), his current project is entitled “Studies In Hunger” and is produced entirely by P. Locke (aka Therapy of The ABs and The Smile Rays) and is due out some time this year, hopefully. He just got back from an excursion to Berlin where he was visiting and working with Batsauce and Da*sey, the other two members of The Smile Rays.
Look for more good things from Dillon…when he’s not cooking up some great veggie dishes, or learning piano, or sampling records, or planting in the garden, or editing some video clips, or educating the kids, he’ll probably be in the studio writing, recording and getting ready to bless y’all with some more heat. Check out this post on The Shining Silver Lining for another side of Dillon’s work.
