PROF

Party, booze, girls, party, fun, booze, drunk, fight, party, party; a day in the life of Prof’s raps. A 25-year-old who loves to have a good time, Prof thinks his music should reflect exactly that. “Everyone’s trying to be a preacher or a politician— telling you how to live your life,” he says. “I’m not running for Senate. I’m doing this for fun and I don’t watch my mouth.”

Buck wild, obnoxiously honest and consistently inconsistent, Prof’s music is perfect for getting messed up and tangled in trouble. Appealing to the rowdiest crowds in town, Prof’s live shows are never a let down on excitement and any attendee is sure to leave exhausted and reeking of stale beer. “You can’t just walk back and forth on stage when you’re a rapper. Rapping isn’t enough,” he says about performing. Crowd surfing, jumping and racing around like a mad man, Prof is drenched in various fluids by the end of the show. “I want it to look like a tornado ran through the place after I’m done with a show.” Taking pride in his level of honesty, fans of his lyrics will definitely get to know Prof a little more than most would find necessary. Dirty and sometimes even gross, Prof loves to keep everyone’s attention for ransom.

Someday Prof hopes to make it big and hear his music on all the trashy top 100 radio stations. “I wanna be famous. I want to get money and a big house,” he says with a grin. “I’ve already been doing this for ten years and I’m happy, but come on— I want to be able to buy my mom a Porsche.” Freestyling by the time he was in eight grade, Prof grew up surrounding himself in hip-hop as much as possible. Today rapping is still his favorite thing to do— hands down. Prof stands by his assertion that he is the “best MC on the planet” and if you don’t believe him, come to show and challenge him. But take it from one his lyrics: “I’m like a limp dick— you don’t fuck with me.”

Special Guests / Opening Acts: 

JIMMY 2 TIMES

Jimmy 2 Times really knows how to rock a party rock a party—and if you think that last part was a typo, it's a crying shame you haven't seen Goodfellas. The lingo behind Jimmy's "Get Cryphy" party might need some explaining, too: "Cryphy" is the wild-child offspring of "Crunk" and "Hyphy," regional hip-hop styles that encourage getting raw and rowdy on the dance floor, and the super-hype soiree has been a huge success in First Avenue's VIP Room for more than a year.

PLAIN OLE BILL

After spending one year on the road as P.O.S' tour DJ, Bill returned to town to continue building the phenomenon which is he and Jimmy 2 Times' monthly Get Cryphy party. If there's a great hip hop party going on in the Twin Cities, it's likely that Bill is the man behind the turntables. Special Young Bill has been consistently holding it down for years, fluent in classic hip hop, disco, and funk as well as current club rap stompers.
