Joel Tallent started out as an MC, rhyming over beats since his days as a high school senior in 1987. After discovering electronic music around 1992, he dropped the mic and began experimenting with more atmospheric compositions and beats. After publishing many tracks on the internet, he was signed by [unit] records, and in February 2002 released his first full-length album, "Shuffling Data." His second album, "Address Unknown," was released on October 2004 with Component Records. A third album is currently under production. Now Joel has teamed up with the n5mafia as part of our 7ransparen7 series.
