Imperfekt

Rick Noggle aka imperfekt started off as a wandering mass of energy and talent before finding his true direction in Hip Hop. Since the genesis of his now ultimate passion, imperfekt has been submerged in every aspect of the culture. From writing raps and graffiti, breakdancing and producing beats, to creating albums, videos, clothing and more, iMP does it all. “You're the most Hip Hop mutherfu**er I know” - Ryan Nixon of the Mic Hand Crew His first appearances on stage were thanks to his mother's bar tending job at a place called Pete & Tilly's where you could see little Ricky performing “Talk Dirty to Me” by Poison with a live band at the age of 4. After that, his first appearances on stage as a Hip Hop artist can be accredited to Metro High School. In 2002 iMP founded Mic Hand Recordings in his home town of Cedar Rapids, IA and over the past 15 years iMP and company have been a major force in the Iowa Hip Hop scene. After leaving Iowa for his first out-of-state performance in 2006, imperfekt hasn't slowed much and has since travelled as far north as Buffalo, NY, east to Philadelphia, PA and as far south as Austin, Texas on tour.
