Wise Intelligent is the front man for the critically acclaimed and Legendary Hiphop trio known to the world as the "Poor Righteous Teachers". PRT hail from and represent to the fullest Trenton New Jersey (New Jerusalem). They released five incredible albums throughout their illustrious career. Their groundbreaking first album Holy Intellect was released on Profile records in 1990 and introduced to the world one of the most unique and revolutionary sounds in Hiphop history. Their equally impressive follow up album Pure Poverty was released in 1991 and cemented their place as one of Hiphop's most elite groups. Black Business (1993/Profile), New World Order (1996/Profile), and Declaration Of Independence (2001/Exit 7a Records) continued to build on PRT's standard of lyrical excellence and commitment to raising the consciousness of poor people worldwide. Throughout all of PRT's albums, they have espoused the virtues of righteousness (without being self-righteous) as embodied in the struggle of poor people around the world. Growing up in any ghetto in any country around the world is not an easy task. Urban decay, joblessness, homelessness, racism, drugs and death are just a few of the things that await the children of the world, and PRT has always stood on the front lines of that struggle. Poor Righteous Teachers have also been on numerous national and international tours.
In 2006, Wise Intelligent steped back out on the front lines once again with an incredible solo album that undoubtedly raise the bar of lyrically integrity and changed the game once again. Over the years many different styles have developed, and many different Mc's/Rappers have come and go, but none as original, honest, or distinct as the lyrical wizardry and unforgettable delivery of Wise Intelligent. Blending a unique style of Jamaican chanting and rapid-fire poetry, Wise has always delivered an unparalleled vocal assault.
As a diligent student of hip-hop pioneers such as Afrika Bambaataa and The Soul Sonic Force, Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five, The Cold Crush Brothers, Run DMC, Public Enemy, Boogie Down Productions/KRS ONE, Eric B & Rakim, Brand Nubian, Ultramagnetic Mc's, X-Clan, and an adolescent immersion (baptism) into the Caribbean dancehall, rockers, and reggae sounds of Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Yellow Man, Eek-A-Mouse, Sista Nancy, Early B, and Josey Wales among others Wise Intelligent is in his own wordz became "Every MC"
This New Jersey native (born + raised) representing Reb Brick City/DivineLand (Trenton, NJ) possesses all the attributes of a timeless warrior poet: insight, substance, skill, fortitude and most importantly integrity. "es Cuomo es Wise" Wise is what he is!
Wise Intelligent Iz…The Talented Timothy Taylor was released on July 17th 2007. This powerful album marked the moment when a True MC and Classic Hiphop Muzik made it's debut against the backdrop of the heavily marketed and marginally talented artist that have saturated the industry for far too long. Wise Intelligent's message is a simple yet powerful one "The reason Hiphop is considered DEAD and the community is in a complete state of chaos and disorder is because WE ARE NOT LISTENING TO ENOUGH INTELLIGENT MUZIK!".
In 2008 Wise Intelligent is preparing to release Wise Intelligent iz…The UNCONKABLE Djezuz Djonez which is the follow up the classic Talented Timothy Taylor album, and the 2nd cd in his "Back to School" series. He is also putting the finishing touches on his debut book, "3/5 of an MC…The Manufacturing of a DUMBED Down Rapper" which is scheduled to be released this fall.
