The best rapper to ever bless the state of CT with his lyrical format and use of word play. His urban/storytelling/comical style blends the street hip hop with life struggles and everyday ethics in his community and other neighborhood across the country. His music will leave you begging for more and more. Stead One is definently an unique artist in his generation and for years to come. Originating in Stamford, CT West Side neighborhood as a click and now spreading out all over, Darkcyde Entertainment LLC. is a label ran by "Conn Ave's King" Matthew "Stead One" Steadman. Stead One was an artist on Shelbywu Records that lyrical abilities stood out like a sore thumb. After breaking tides with Shelbywu in early 2005, Stead One explored other states for a bigger buzz. From doing a show in Dartmuth, Mass. to winning a talent show in Tuscaloosa, AL. Towards the end of 2005 Stead picked up a roster that is about as lyrically inclined as their general. In 2006 Darkcyde is officially off the ground with a team after the green. We have joint venture deals with other record labels so everyone we do business with is making money. We are doing big things.

Biggie, 2Pac, Eminem, Grafh, Drag-On and T.I.
