We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Prynce P. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Prynce below.

Prynce, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today, to kick things off, we’d love to hear about things you or your brand do that diverge from the industry standard.
I never release music that does not relate to me or what I believed in. The industry standard is to create some sort of buzz and me releasing music about saving our planet will not do that and honestly, I am ok with that. As an artist, at the end of the day, I am responsible for what I say and what projects I release. The world that we live in is already crazy as is! My goal is to help make it better, not make it worse.

Prynce, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
I have been doing music since 2002 but let me fast forward to 2016 as I released one of the biggest Hip-Hop compilations out of Dallas featuring legends like Paul Wall, Lil Flip, Spice 1 and more…

After the release of my album, I decided to get back to the drawing board and work on 6 more singles before retiring the microphone. My first single entitled “The Triple D Cypher” was released on 6/14/18 which also made history in Dallas as I featured 14 of the hottest rappers out of my city. This project went on to hit every Dallas radio station and it landed a placement to be in a college movie (Dig Deep). It featured Dallas favorites like Mr. Pookie, Big Tuck, Headkrack, Keynote, Motian, Eclipse Darkness, Microphone Lewis, Teleoso, Alsace Carcione, Ritchy Flo, Rakim Al-Jabbaar, Bobby Fisha and IQ Muzic.

After the success of the cypher, I went back to the studio and started to work on my 2nd single which I dedicated to Mother Earth. I named it “My Apology” and I featured Motian, IQ Muzic, Bubba, Susy Solis and one of my all-time favorite rappers, K-Rino. The video to this project won an award from the Native film festivals.

I quickly went back to work on my 3rd single which I named, “Reloaded.” Like always, I hand-picked some of my favorite musicians to collaborate with. I featured: Flexinfab, Flower Child, DQ Hampton, Eclipse Darkness, Motian, GSpook, IQ Muzic and Tony Ballard Jr. This unique track was released on my birthday 7/31 and within the first week of its release, it was featured on 5 radio stations including 102.3fm and 106.5fm in Los Angeles.

Due to travels, I took a break from music but once I got back, I decided that it was time to work on my 4th project. Since the year 2020 had been tough on most, I wanted to create something fun and comical. Thus, I called on my favorite team once again so they can get back in the studio with me. The team included: Eclipse Darkness, Bubba, Microphone Lewis, Keynote, Motian and IQ Muzic as we started to work on “Rudolf – The Triple D Remix,” which was our version of Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer. This single was released on 12/14/20 which also came with an animated music video. It quickly became a favorite and as of 2022, it has over 100,000 streams on Spotify.

I am currently in the lab cooking up my last 2 singles with producers Cloak Beats, Vani Music and Billy Syn.

Any resources you can share with us that might be helpful to other creatives?
In 2002, when I started recording professionally, I wish I had the tools that we have today.

Here is 1 simple example: THE INTERNET!!! Our internet speed was pure trash back then… If we recorded a project and had to send the files to an audio engineer outside of our state, we had to literally mail the cd because it would take less time for it to get to California than getting uploaded hahah…

Even setting up sessions, selling our music, etc… The new generation has it so easy!

How’d you build such a strong reputation within your market?
I have always stayed loyal to those who work with me. I have always recognized anyone who collaborates with me and if I hire you, you get paid before you start.
