Sean Price KIMBO PRICE MIX CD (In Stores October 27th)
Caught this in the email ...
Hailing from Brownsville, New York. Standing at 6'1" and weighing in at 242 pounds. Formerly known as Scragbite, then RUCK, then Deceptacon Sean, and now going by MEGASEAN, Sean P!!! is back in the ring and he's going to make sure you talk about him. In fact, borrowing words from the great Mike Tyson, Sean Price claims that "your grandkids and kids after that are going to know about me. I'm going to make sure of that. They are never going to forget about me. Your great grandkids are going to say WOW, wasn't that a bizarre individual."
Bizarre or not, Sean Price has an ironclad fist on this rap game. His combination of witty word play, humor and hardcore lyrics leave fans wondering what the MC is going to say next. We have seen that Sean Price is a multifaceted individual. With the start up of his newly formed label, RUCK DOWN RECORDS, Sean Price still finds the necessary time to record and promote his own albums. KIMBO PRICE, the prelude to his next national album, MIC TYSON (2010), is a 23 track mix cd that brings the listeners into the world of Sean Price that we love so much. If you know Sean Price in some capacity, you probably got dissed on this album. The rapper goes so far as to say he doesn't even like himself!
Fans have been treated to leak records off the mix cd such as RUCK DOWN, where Sean Price announces the closing of Duck Down Records and declares himself the newly formed President and CEO of his own label, properly named RUCK DOWN. Other songs out include "BOOST" featuring PF Cuttin where Sean Price rhymes the entire song through the churp, along with "MegaSean," "P's UP" and "Duck Down" featuring label mates Torae & Skyzoo.
Sean Price is joined by a select few artists on the remainder of KIMBO PRICE. Artists such as Buckshot, Rock of Heltah Skeltah, Ruste Juxx, Royce Da 5'9" L.E.G.A.C.Y., Poisen Pen, Illanoyz, Agallah and others help round out a very balanced collection music.
Be on the look out for new Sean Price videos off KIMBO PRICE tracks and stay tuned for exclusive music from Sean Price's new super group, RANDOM AXE comprised of Sean Price, Guilty Simpson and Black Milk.
Catch Sean Price at a Fat Beats In-Store signing for his new mix cd on October 23rd from 6PM - 9PM and the following evening for a live performance at Duck Down's CMJ Showcase at Gramercy Theater. Tickets for the event are now on sale through Gramercy's Site via Live Nation: http://bit.ly/3cNUSj

Q&A with Prophetic
I keep telling heads don't sleep on Milwaukee. I don't have any connection to Wisconsin other than by music. They definitely haven't disappointed.
Prophetic is just another example.
I first ran across Proph a few months back when I was sent his Entrepreneur video. I immediately thought that the track and video were dope. Then recently I was sent his new video, Golden Helmet. After hearing these two joints, I asked him to send me some more tracks. He did. I listened. He's dope.
The 24-year-old emcee out of Milwaukee definitely hustles hard for his music, while running an indie label with his two business partners. His music is going places.
"I want to see my music reach a national level," Prophetic said in a recent interview. "So I plan to use my natural talent to get me in the door and allow me to display my business skills, which are becoming stronger than my actual music talent ironically."
Umbrella Music Group has a hell of a lot of talent and Proph is just one of those artists.
I definitely dig his sound! I recently reached out to him for a Q&A …
The Mad Bloggers: It seems like a lot of good music coming out of Milwaukee, do you think people are surprised with hip-hop coming out of the area?
Prophetic: I definitely think people are surprised but it’s actually funny to me. My city has the same problems that all other cities have, if not worse if you check statistics. Its just not a hotbed for the industry right now so people outside of the city may not know about it but this music has always existed.
TMB: Who are your musical influences?
Proph: My musical influences range … Frankie Beverly & Maze, Isley Brothers, Aretha Franklin, Luther Vandross, Scarface, Jay-Z, Juvenile, Aaliyah, Jack Johnson, Coldplay and Maxwell. I literally listen to everything.
TMB:How would you describe your sound?
Proph: My sound has been compared to Nas, Jay-Z, Kanye etc. I would however say I'm just a real artist and a real person. I express myself. My music is very personal.
TMB:Who do you work with on your music?
Proph: I've worked with a lot of Milwaukee artists. The Umbrella (Music Group) consists of myself, Ka$h, Yodot (Royal Fam), Misen Lync: Maal Himself, TKS and Toine Jay. Tay Butler and our engineer/producer Adlib.
TMB: What's the track that you think really defines who you are as an artist?
Proph: The track that defines me best would have to be "Entrepreneur".
TMB:What’s a highlight to date in regards to pushing your music?
Proph: My biggest accomplishment thus far is the release of my album "Mo Profit Mo Progress", which has gained not only street acclaim but a lot of attention from the media and radio around the Midwest. I also have a growing relationship with Pharrell and Star Trak, which has been helping me increase my buzz and major label chances.
TMB:What's the hardest thing you're finding out that has to do with your music?
Proph: The hardest thing with music is learning the proper routes to take in terms of getting exposure and new ears. In Milwaukee, there's no blueprint so people are trying anything to get in the door. It’s always steps though. That's where business skills come into place. That's where I really feel we set ourselves apart from other artists.
TMB:What projects are you currently working on?
Proph: Well besides the MPMP album available on iTunes, I have a mixtape called "Mo Progress Mo Problems", which is downloadable for free at umbrellasup.com. I'm still recording but I've been flying to a lot of other places, building my network and utilizing my resources. Music will always be my main asset but I have a saying: "My most important talks take place over drinks or lunch. Not over beats."
