PenArk started as an idea years ago that became a reality for two friends in winter of "02. C Track bought the recording equipment and Intense bought in the artists. C Track started on the beats while Intense helped mold him into the producer he is today. After 3 years of meeting and working with different artists, getting attention from a major player in the rap game. They decided to put together there first mix tape. The mix tape was completed in 6 months. The mix tape dropped in August of "05. The mix tape consisted of some of the hottest artists never discovered. Nemesis and Def 1 just to name a few.

In September of "05 C Track was able to secure a venue for there first performance. 1 Down lounge/bar in Chino CA. The show was a success. PenArk then entered a working partnership with Webb and his No Poverty imprint. The musical marriage was a success. PenArk and No Poverty where able to acquire different venues not only to perform but to promote there own events. With this they began to network with local artists to come in and perform. With events held at Magi on Sunset in Hollywood ca, Club Gaba (well known underground Hip Hop club on Melrose in Hollywood), The once well known Wednesday night hot spot for + size women Club Volupocity, and the old Terrace Restaurant in Pasadena,Ca. just to name a few.

By the end of there 9 month run they realized that there success so far had been carried on thru mix tapes. the first one released in "05 and the second one released in "06. Now with catching the attention of a few major labels as well as major independents. They realized that they needed to put some original material together. But things wouldn't be that easy for the trio. Personal problems began to pelage the founding members of Penark and the owner of No Poverty. The three decided to slow the music side of life down and attend to there personal issues.

18 Months have passed. Now Penark has a new purpose. Not to be just another India label. But to be a production team that creates good music. If it is in the cards for us to be a label then that's what we will be. PenArk has now realigned its roster.
