MIKE O'CULL plays guitar, writes songs, produces tracks, teaches, preaches, writes poetry, makes art, and is in love with human creativity. He has the ability to put a song in your ear and make it stick. He writes songs that combine every cool thing he has ever heard into a new sound that is funky, rocking, literate, and conscious and contains elements of blues, hip hop, rock, funk, electronica, and skid row poetry. He has two single releases slated for 2017 of his new and topical tracks "Ain't No Love in the Ways of Man" which is now on iTunes and Spotify, and "Tough Times These Days," which is now being previewed on YouTube and will drop in December. In 2015, he released a single, "What's Old Is What's New," that was co-written with poet/activist Leroy Moore of Krip Hop Nation and mixes down and dirty blues with old school hip hop and an EP, The Mike O'Cull Band, that features seven funky blues/rock original songs. Both are available on iTunes, Spotify, and Amazon.

Queens, New York Alternative rapper Prince Radio Ra releases ‘Frenemies’, a music video inspired by a friend’s experience with love, domestic violence and the thin line that some experience between love and hate. 
Prince Radio Ra is a rapper with a conscience, as he aims to bring domestic violence to the forefront of people’s minds with his new track ‘Frenemies’ and his upcoming release ‘L.O.V.E. (Loving on Violent Edge) which is set for release in the Spring of 2016. 

After a close friend was struggling with a broken heart, Prince Radio Ra watched him spiral quickly downwards and become unable to eat, sleep or think rationally. Eventually this friend engaged in violent behavior with his former partner and is now serving time in prison, an event which sparked the release ‘Frenemies’ and the discussion around domestic violence and how it can affect those involved. The accompanying music video includes footage of Queens, New York City and shows an insight into the world of Prince Radio Ra. No stranger to New York’s hip hop scene, Prince Radio Ra’s style is typically ‘New York’, with AfroPunk sensibilities and big, brash NYC new school style. It’s in your face, loud, and commands attention, while addressing important social issues in an intelligent manner. 

Previously published on StreetKodeMagazine.com, Indienation, Hype 
Magazine and Strawberryblunt.com, Prince Radio Ra has received nation-wide attention but remains true to his roots. In order to promote previous release ‘Rap Royalty’, he personally gave out the album to over 5000 people within his neighborhood. 

‘Frenemies’ is an engaging and important look at the issue of domestic 
violence within relationships, and is a strong start to what is expected to be an exciting release from Prince Radio Ra in 2016.
