STRICKNINE CURARE is a Hip Hop artist and community activist from the Atlanta, Georgia Neighborhood of Sylvan Hills. He first began rapping at the age of 15, when he went by the name of Dre King, rapping in a local group called the Homicide Crew. After years of trying to get a record deal, he eventually helped to found a group called Quarter and a Half. In 1997, the group released Million Dollar Plan, an LP that was distributed by the now defunct Ichiban Records label. Unfortunately, just one week after the release of the album the record company went bankrupt, leaving the group to fend for themselves.

During the following 13 years, STRICKNINE CURARE would use his talents as a mentor and took to the impoverished Atlanta community to help guide youths, who may be going down the wrong path. This would not only help the youth, but also re-sparked the fire of entertainment back in him. He grew disgusted with the music of the era, and the grip that it had on the very ones he was trying to reach. Having once used Gangsta Rap as his medium, he decided to change his lyrics for a more positive approach. He is currently working on a mixtape and LP that will be financed and distributed by his own record label.
