Born in the ‘80s in Los Angeles, California, El Prez has experienced everything from the devastating ‘92 LA Riots, to growing up with mixed heritage in South Central LA. An ardent fan of Rap music from an early age, El Prez credits artists such as LL Cool J and Run-DMC for his interest in the field which led him to pursue a career as a Rap artist by the time he graduated from high school in the late 90’s. By the time he entered college; he quickly gained the attention of fellow students selling over 2,000 copies of his first solo album (“Getting Greedy in the Westâ€) out of his backpack and later became the first unsigned artist to perform in concert at Cal State University of Northridge.
As part of the resurgent hip hop scene bubbling in LA recently, El Prez describes his style as, “part Pharcyde, and part Chuck D, with a dose of 91’ Ice Cube thrown in. Basically I’m Hip Hop from 88’ to 93’ being found in a time capsule by people in the year 3000.†Definitely Back-to-the-Future but never retro, El Prez’s lyrics captivate the listener with out of this world references to everything from Kobe Bryant’s jersey number to 80’s TV show “MacGyver†in his rhymes about everyday life in the City of Angels.
