///THEPARADOXICALSTATE
In the midst of all the Atoms releases, Jestoneart has been the silent member of the Atoms Family collective. Mostly known for his silent contributions to Atoms Family albums and his appearance in the infamous DefJux Documentary, Jestoneart has always traveled behind his pack. But, Darcity definitely proves that Jest can not only leap to the front, but take charge if he has to. Darkcity is light on guest appearances and hooks, but heavy on seemingly endless flows. Jestoneart brings it back to the days that rappers actually had to rhyme good over those dope beats to get respect as an MC.
///JESTONEART, ESQ. - The Writer:
By daylight, Jestoneart is actually an Attorney (What, did you think the ESQ. in his name was just some street-tag-name acronym?). Indeed, when the sun is out you may run into Jest suit-n-tied up, briefcase in hand, cellphone on blast, and scrambling for the professional "advantage." At night, however, Jest unplugs and roams the streets of DarkCity in search of himself. A partriot of the streets where dwelled for most of his life, Jest is more comfortable "on the other side of the bridge." Paradoxically, Jest doesn't like lawyers, distrusts law, and considers both "evil." And so, he spends his time struggling to reconcile the conflict between his days and nights, ying and yang, suit and jeans, not to mention light and darkness. Welcome to the ParadoxicalState.
///DEKOY-OKTOPUS - The Soundbwoy:
Admittedly, DekoyOct is a strange character. His Daytime identity is unknown. His identity afterhours is an anomoly to everyone except himself. He appears emotionless. Like Jest, Dekoy is also a DarkCity resident. Dekoy expresses his angst through sound only. Dekoy is a breakbeat demolition expert, who also specializes in old-school dub reconstruction. Dekoy is understood to be the voice of reason in the ParadoxicalState. Unlike Jest, Dekoy is not a victim of the Paradox. As such, Dekoy often finds himself bringing Jest's attention back into focus at times when the Paradoxical overcomes.
