My 2021 was a whirlwind to say the least. I could never completely expect the unexpected. Rather it be good, or bad.

When it was all said & done, it gave me a full course meal of food for thought.
This year, I decided to put it on wax.

Over one of my favorite DJ Premier Instrumentals, I give you my life as it was in 2021.

I present “10,000 Hours.” 
Press Play.

In the vein of James Brown’s “Say it Loud, I’m Black & I’m Proud” Pryme Mega & Myself set out to create an Positive Pro Black record in a Unapologetic fashion.

“Black Authentic” is all about positivity in an uncompromising form when it comes to Black Folk & Black Culture. All too often we see pushes for “acceptable” Blackness which is seemingly bogged down by respectability politics to come across as “safe.” While this record isn’t intended to be disruptive for sport, Pryme & I didn’t pull any punches. 

Being Black Men and being aware of our surrounding & history, we wanted to create a song that represented us in a positive, yet unapologetic light, in our own way.

Rekkless Life Films, Pryme Mega & Myself bring that vision to life in the BLACKEST way possible in time for Juneteenth 2022. 

For 2 minutes & 45 seconds, Pryme & Myself Black Out, all pun intended. Press Play.
King’s Road (EP) coming Summer 2022.

For the lead single of “My Core Elements” I wanted to represent a Core Element of myself as a Philly MC, bars. 
Over a rugged & dusty Has-Lo production, and cuts by DJ Ghetto, I do just that. Press play & get familiar with what I represent.

My Core Elements

48 (Prod. by Has-Lo)

“As I find me forever, understand I rep 93’ Forever.”

If you’ve been riding with me you know that I always release new content on my birthday. On this edition of 10/23 it’s “93’ Forever”

Since 93’ a top priority of mine has been maintaining integrity
Staying true to myself at all costs. Whether it be the microphone, or how I carry myself.
Given today’s climate it’s easier said than done, nonetheless it gets done every singular time.

Keeping it 100 with my loved ones and dismissing anything that would come between it.

It’s been like that since 93’ til and will never change.
I present to you, 93’ Forever.

93' Forever

Being a Black Man and proud of who I am in today’s climate is not without its challenges.

Whether it be police brutality, racism (blatant, covert & systematic), cultural appropriation, or turncoats.
 
Seeing these take place everyday both locally and abroad shapes my reality differently than others.
 
Not a “divide & conquer” record, however instead of dancing around the issues I take them head on, albeit in an abrasive manner.
 
My outlook on this is influenced by my experiences, the experiences of those close to me, and my knowledge.

I channel that witty lyricism in the matter that my city of Philadelphia is known for. 
However this time I’m channeling it towards larger issues that affect me and my people.

On that note, I present to you “Stinger”, the first release from my upcoming EP “Sacred Mantra.”

Stinger (Single)

Stinger (Produced by Johann Sebastian)

As you move through life, you may find yourself questioning the intentions of those around you. Are they for you? Or against you? Friend or Foe?

As you peep the intentions, let it be known that your third eye is open.

At the end of the day actions speak louder than words. On that note, State Ya Biz & pick a side.

I present to you "State Ya Biz" the lead single from my 2nd EP "Sacred Mantra".

State Ya Biz (Single)

State Ya Biz (Produced by J. DePina)

Growing up, I was taught to say what you mean and mean what you say. However, as I move through life I realize many don’t hold those same values, and it would be asinine of me to expect everyone else to.

Nonetheless, it’s a standard I hold myself and those around me to, your words & actions are your benchmark.

Those values influence how I view and experience things in life. Ranging from the portrayal of my people and culture in the media, relationships, and integrity to name a few. It’s something I’m aware of and address on this project.

It’s all about your words and your actions, at the end of the day it’s all you can fall back with. That’s my mantra and it’s sacred to me.
I present to you, my 2nd Solo EP, “Sacred Mantra.”

In the English language, the word "Prime" is defined as "of first importance". One could certainly say that Philadelphian emcee D Prime has christened himself appropriately, as hip-hop has been of first importance in this young man's life since he picked up a pad and pen in 2009. You can hear the warm, "golden era" sounds of J Dilla, A Tribe Called Quest and hometown heroes The Roots pulsing through his music, but with an updated, current twist. Prime wears his legendary influences on his sleeve, and the hand coming out of that sleeve is almost always attached to a mic. 
Since releasing his first project in 2013, Prime's held his own on wax with underground veterans like Reef the Lost Cauze, Hezekiah and Has-Lo, and shared the stage with heavyweight names such as Torae and Marco Polo. Prime's brand of no-nonsense lyricism stays true to the old school while still carving out an individual niche for him as an artist. His approach is straightforward, his words honest, and his work ethic diligent. D Prime is on a mission to create songs that stand the test of time, and with his unique blend of the old and the new, he's sure to accomplish just that.
