Band Members: Kevin C(Mc KeVLar) Lead Raps, Back up vocals & Percussion. Slade Anderson.Drums & Percussion. Derek Torres.DJ (Grand Intro).Colin Bjorklund. Bass guitar.I starting rapping in1998 I was the manager of a rap band called Human “Zâ€. We were going to England and Ireland to do some shows and the other rapper in the band didn’t make it to the airport so I started rapping a friends stuff to replace the other rapper. The band kinda broke off into a live band thing and the name was changed to Prophetsoul I was a front man for the soul for 3 years. Before leaving Prophet Soul I started RhymePlay with the old bass player Oscar O but then moved to sacramento were long time friend slade said lets do this RhymePlay thing and the rest is history.Colin Bjorklund has been playing bass for 14 years. He began his studies in the Bay Area, a student of bassist Josh Needleman. Colin developed his playing technique and style after bass players such as Geddy Lee, Les Claypool, Steve Harris, Michael Manring, and many, many others. Colin considers his role in the band to create functional, interesting bass lines which support the music, rather than need to be supported.
