Hip Hop / Rap Artist, El Prez is set to release his third solo album Prezanomics: Supply The Demand. In his latest album (scheduled to be released in spring 2008), El Prez offers strong opinions about important issues and addresses topics that he feels many other artists are too afraid to mention, while loyal and new fans keep nodding their heads to hypnotic beats. The hip hop notable says "This album is my campaign speech to my fans about 'supplying the Demand'' of young, fresh and new music to the hip-hop community because there are too many artists polluting the game these days." The record features hip hop beats by THX (Snoop Dogg, Western Union) and 3AM (Angeles Records, GZA, Planet Asia) amongst others. Artists U-N-I, Indef and The Cheap$kate$ are also featured on the album. 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 Hip Hop and Rap music from an early age, El Prez credits hip hop artists such as LL Cool J and Run-DMC for his interest in the field which led him to pursue a career as a hip hop rapper 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 West") 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 flourishing in LA recently, El Prez describes his style as, "part Pharcyde, and part Nas, with a dose of 91'' Ice Cube thrown in. Basically I''m Hip Hop from 88'' to 94'' 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. Since starting out, El Prez has performed at numerous venues including The Roxy, The Key Club, BB Kings Nightclub, Cinespace, Zen Sushi, Temple Bar, The Joint, and at many colleges, universities and more. He is generating widespread buzz and respect from fans, media, and industry executives alike because of his aggressive stage show. El Prez has shared the stage with noted artists such as Teedra Moses, Glasses Malone, Mykestro, DJ Quik, Mack 10, Pacific Division, Blu, Self Scientific, U-N-I, and others out of the revitalized LA hip hop scene. The internet has been a worthy medium for El Prez and serves as a base where DJs to avid music listeners can enjoy his music and videos worldwide and lend tremendous support to his movement. El Prez represents Change; and "change" is good, whether it's running a country, or having something to nod your head to in the whip.
