Artist Focus-Prince EA

Born in St. Louis, Missouri, Prince Ea has resided there his whole life. The youngest of his parent's two children, Ea heard music in his home, and on the streets. He absorbed the songs and style of hip-hop legends such as Rakim, Chuck D, Canibus, Immortal Technique, and Eminem. His new-found love for knowledge came during his 12th grade at high school, where not only had his love for music had grown substantially, but he had also excelled from an average student to graduating high school with honors. This achievement earned him full scholarship in Anthropology at the University of Missouri.
Ea continues to strive in university with a 4.1 GPA average and is expected to graduate by the summer of 2010, with honors.

In late 2008 Prince Ea released the mixtape “The Adolescence” on the internet for free download. Widely advertised on websites such as Myspace and Youtube, it gained attention from numerous underground people of interest. Days after the release Prince Ea recorded an amateur video of himself rapping and entered it into a VIBE Magazine contest dubbed “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, which held a total value of $50,000.
In 2009 he had won a Funkvolume competition with the help of his 6000 subscribers on youtube.
He is constantly praised for his unique style which focuses on usually uncommon or avoided areas such as scientific theory, government conspiracies and religious institutions.
It is rumored that in 2009 he had won a competition for BET's "BET Cypher" but the promoters had feared a violent altercation would have broken out if Ea had attended, so they decided to choose the runner-up Crown Royyal as the grand prize winner.
It is also rumored he has signed with record label Atlantic Records, but this has not yet been confirmed.
On March 13, 2009, Prince Ea's associate Yousef Taleb stated that his latest mixtape "The Mic In The Shoebox" is currently in the works for a summer release.
