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 to breakdancing and producing beats, albums, videos, clothing and more. In 2002 imperfekt founded Mic Hand Recordings, based out of his home town Cedar Rapids, IA, and it has only gotten bigger and better. Boasting 14 music releases and numerous videos, MHR now has members in Cedar Rapids, Iowa City and Dubuque Iowa, as well as Freeport and Rockford Illinois.
