Paten Locke is a rapper originally from Boston, Massachusetts but more recently based in Jacksonville, Florida. Originally he went by the pseudonym Therapy and was part of a group called Asamov, who released an album in 2005 entitled "And Now..." where Paten rapped, produced, and worked the turntables. Asamov was forced to change their name after being sued, so they chose The ABs. A short while later, Paten joined a group called The Smile Rays and released two albums with the group in which he performed similar duties as he did in Asamov.
