Namek

Since his first recorded verse at the age of 14, Namek, born Joseph Huicochea in West Covina, CA has continued to show an undeniable passion for the art of rhymes, hip hop and G funk. Influenced by west coast vets such as DJ Quik, Tha Dogg Pound, Funkdoobiest & Cypress Hill, while also musically inspired by east coast OG's like Redman & Method Man, versatility on the mic has naturally grown to become a powerful attribute for him. From paying dues in cyphers all around the San Gabriel Valley and LA County in his teens and early 20's, to performing in more established venues, winning numerous rap competitions (Undefeated 3x Power 106 Freestyle Friday champ & Flow and Tell SBRC 4x champ) & collaborating with certain musical influences such as DJ Battlecat, KXNG Crooked (Crooked I), Kokane, Ras Kass, Roscoe (DPG), Abstract Rude (Rhymesayers Ent.) and Percee P (Stones Throw) the evolution of Namek has strongly shown.

Now in 2025, Namek continues to work w/ manager Hengee Garcia as an artist on ICE-T's Final Level Music. With singles out alongside Son Doobie of Funkdoobiest & hiphop duo Coyote, Namek looks to release more content this winter w/ Rakaa Iriscience of Dilated Peoples & Akil of J5, as well as a collab with Rowdy Racks & Alexcis. Not to mention a recent release w/ Norwegian G-funk producer Yogi Soul. The full length LP "Moss Angeles" features OG's King T, Tash, Kokane, Roscoe & former NBA all-star Baron Davis a.k.a Bart Oatmeal. Dead Press Records 2025.
