By the time Dillon Maurer (Intellekt) and Dan Chavez (Dirty Digits) crossed paths at a B-boy battle in 2003, they were due for a come-up. Both were staples in Floridas growing indie Hip-hop community. From Tallahassee, Chavez had for several years been the Urban Music Director at Florida State Universitys student radio station (WVFS, 89.7) and Program Director for The Undaground Railroad, a popular local Hip-hop show. Maurer, then a senior at the University of Florida in Gainesville, was actively booking and promoting tour dates for major label Hip-hop artists, as well as performing shows of his own throughout Florida. He also started and hosted Gainesvilles first indie Hiphop show on Magic 101.3 FM, Sunday Night Leftovers, which is still going strong today. At the age of 21, Maurer had already earned praise in the local press and been taken under the wing of then Orlando-locals/Sage Francis tour-mates, the Sol.iLLaquists Of Sound (signed to Epitaph in 2005). In need of a master turntablist for live performances and for an album on which hed begun work, Maurer reached out to Chavez. It wasnt long before the self-released Intellektual Property, (2004) Intellekts first full length effort featuring the wizardry of Dirty Digits, put them on the map as a critics pick and a fan favorite. After increased booking and the creation of a solid local fan-base, Intellekt and Dirty Digits decided to officially solidify as a group in August of 2004.



The IDD would first come to the attention of ArcTheFinger Records when representatives of the label contacted them individually (unaware that the two were in the process of forming a group) for assistance with booking and radio play in Florida. Impressed with Chavez and Maurers level of professionalism and more so with the copies of Intellektual Property they received, ATF invited the ID-Double to Atlanta in March 2005 to play the first annual A3C Independent Hip-hop Festival. The live show held up nicely against the groups studio work, anchoring Intellekts high-energy delivery of stories through twisting lyrical schemes with Dirts nasty articulations on the needles and the crossfader. Recruiting new talent for their artist roster and having been informed that the IDD was planning a move to Atlanta, ArcTheFinger initiated a serious conversation about signing the soon-to-be transplants. The deal was cemented in summer of 05. Atlanta performances, a new 12-inch single, a newly revised version of Intellektual Property, and their first tour are underway for 2006.
