From his Youtube videos, with millions of hits, Prince Ea has developed a loyal internet fan base. In late 2008 Prince Ea recorded a video of himself spitting 70 bars and entered it into VIBE Magazine’s contest “VIBE VERSES.” A few months later, Ea was declared the VIBE Verses GRAND CHAMPION and was awarded $5000 in music recording equipment along with a Full Page Article in the VIBE Magazine.

As Prince Ea’s buzz continues to spread like wildfire, many have claimed that “Bar for Bar” Prince Ea quite possibly may be the Best rapper to come out in decades

Too political and right wing away from mainstream raps about conspiracy theory's

“they rigged the voting booths” “end of the world in 2012”

Speaks in tongues on Bar from Sumer Rebels against commercial music Works with poor unknown artists, Bugsy, Wax etc Needs to transfer from freestyles to making

commercial songs No Tour Dates Song writing issues they have no hooks or top line

melodies freestyles5/9/2010


Conclusion He is very talented but however is toounderground. Risk for any record label to sign and sell

records

More development and with song structure and content and then maybe a potential

artist.

Great Voice but could be improved Performance could use live band to

make it more dynamicSong writing needs to be more

developed to make it more catchy using top line melodies

Structure of songs needs to be more urgent far to long of a build up
