Gonjasufi

Ecks was born in 1978 to a Mexican mother and an American-Ethiopian father. In the early 1990s, he began releasing music within the San Diego hip hop scene; notably with the Masters of the Universe crew. His Warp debut album, A Sufi and a Killer, was released March 8, 2010. Ecks' voice has been described by Pitchfork as "a scraggly, scary, smoked-out croak that creeps like the spiritual offspring of George Clinton and Lead Belly". Besides singing and rapping, Ecks also serves as a producer, DJ, and yoga teacher. On August 19, 2016, Gonjasufi released the album, Callus, which featured contributions from Pearl Thompson. ==Discography==
