The second of six children, John Percy Simon was barely three when his mother moved his family line to the Patterson projects in the South Bronx in the early '70s. It was there that Percy (as he was called) witnessed the birth of rap music. By 1979 Percee (he changed the spelling to emulate artists like Kool Moe Dee) was writing and playing his possess rhymes and by high school was a well-thought-of local force. In 1992 Percee P made a edgar Guest appearance on the Lord Finesse (and former rival) song "Yes You May," followed by work with Vakill, Jedi Mind Tricks, Aesop Rock, and Cenobites, among others. Because for many years he was never officially with any one label, Percee (or the Rhyme Inspector) had to make his name known by stephen William Hawking his own mixtapes outside Fat Beats Records in Brooklyn as well as at several shows, eventually compilation many of his songs together under the title Fabled Status (released in 2005). In 2003 Percee signed to California-based Stones Throw, which released his long-awaited solo debut, Perseveration, in September 2007.
