Although the details surrounding the conception of Scribe Tribe Syndicate are shrouded in mystery and hearsay, it is known that in late 1998 a sage by the name of IQ da Fifth One began organizing a small, yet powerful network of emcees – uniting them and creating a means for them to hone their skills through collaboration and battle with one another and other artists. This Fight Club of sorts quickly morphed into a more defined guild. Through intense training, desire, and hunger the foundations of what would later become STS were cemented.
For several years, Scribe Tribe Syndicate prospered and grew in strength and numbers. At the peak of the movement, over 50 members worldwide were a part of the congregation. Each emcee brought specific skills and talents, as they had been hand-picked by the founding fathers to join STS. Times were good.
However, in early 2003 a series of events occurred that almost left the Syndicate in shambles. Government officials began surveillance of IQ as part of a probe aimed at bringing down cyber terrorism. Facing the options of prison time or flight, IQ disappeared and vanished without a trace, leaving the rest of STS bewildered and, for the first time, without direction.
Members of STS quickly began to show their true colors and dedication to the body. Those that were loyal to the art remained and bonded, while lesser individuals systematically drifted away into oblivion. The core that stood after the dust of departure went through an epiphany and realized that STS was not just IQ and his band of brothers. STS was an idea, an awareness, and a principle. It was a faith that could not be denied.
