A.P, a.k.a. All Profit, a.k.a. Apply Pressure, and self-proclaimed The One, has come a long way from his neighborhood in Elizabeth, New Jersey. For over half of his life, A.Ps heart and soul has been in the studio. Eight years have passed since his newfound journey with rap music began, and hes been grinding it out every step of the way.
Every artist has their own story, but what differentiates A.P from the rest is that he references the past, present and future of his life in every angle and aspect through the true sound of real hip-hop music; in this way one will be able to experience A.P.s steps through life and see what influences have contributed to his style of lyricism. A spiraling creativity and vivid perception, are common ground and everlasting through his content.
Experience molds a person and if my experiences told can help mold another person in a positive way, I feel like have accomplished my goal. A.P says. I believe that I am my own prisoner in my mind and music is the only way to be set free.
A.P has an unyielding vision for hip-hop in general, and this same confident, business-minded swagger is what eventually pushed him to start his own production company/label, All Bets Down Entertainment.
They saying the game is wack now, and that the game aint what it used to be. Thats why Im here, A.P says of his vision for the hip-hop world. Im here for a reason, Im the one to bring all that back full circle, he continued. Im putting all of that on my shoulders, all my heart and soul, and Ima single-handedly bring music creativity back to where its supposed to be, where it should of been at.
All-star renowned producers such as Midi Mafia, Salaam Remi, Large Professor, EZ Moe Bee, Pete Rock and Q-Tip, to name a few, have already put in their bid for A.Ps full-length LP, which will come as an aftershock to his earlier released mixtape All or Nothing, featuring cameos with the Bronx heavy-hitter Lord Tariq, Brooklyns Red Café, and underground rapper Ali Vegas.
A.Ps recently released Fat Boyz is sure to rock the hip-hop scene, and serves as anticipation to his debut full-length LP My Fathers Son, slated to hit shelves soon.
