Born
April 2, 1967
Genre
Hip-Hop/Rap
Producer/DJ Prince Paul debuted at the age of 17 with Brooklyn-based hip-hop band Stetsasonic. The inventor of the album skit, Paul produced De La Soul’s first three LPs and his influence is strongly felt--from the diverse sample sources to the playful, story-telling approach. Prince Paul went on to produce for a wide range of artists from the world of hip-hop and beyond--3rd Bass, Big Daddy Kane, Vernon Reid, Princess Superstar, and Chris Rock are but a few--and famously collaborate with the RZA (Gravediggaz) and Dan the Automator (Handsome Boy Modelling School). His off-kilter solo debut, PSYCHOANALYSIS: WHAT IS IT? (1997), explores Paul’s experiences with therapy while 1999’s A PRINCE AMONG THIEVES is a singular opus--a hip-hop opera with MCs as character actors.
Prince Paul has also released music as a member of BROOKZILL!, Handsome Boy Modeling School, Baby Elephant, The Dino-5, Gravediggaz, and Stetsasonic.
