Artist Biography: Prophecy
Prophecy, an up and coming emcee from North London, is a fresh and cutting edge artist that is set to bring the essence of rhyme back to your I-Pods and Beats by Dre’s. A raw and uncut hybrid of grime and rap, with an emphasis on the fundamental techniques of the craft: sharp delivery, similes, metaphors and vivid imagery. His intricate rhyme schemes and patterns ensure
originality and authenticity amongst a lot of the monotony of the genre today. His catalogue of music mainly consists of fast paced flows and hard hitting punch-lines that entwine effortlessly into a synchronized barrage of ferocious rhetoric, with substance ranging from conscious and political, to bravado infused street tales of crime and everyday hardships. His verses and delivery consistently trigger flashbacks to some of the greatest MC’s to ever do it. Names like Kool G Rap, Canibus and Crooked I have been used to describe his rapping style and skills. As well as this, he is the founder of Black Banner Movement, which is an organization based on creative talents; in all areas of art, music and film, supporting real, ‘genuine’ music. January 2013 saw Prophecy win the prestigious ‘All Out Show’ with Choice FM’s very own Hip Hop legend, Dj 279, as well as Hot Barz’s Thad Boogie (Big Promo), forming part of the judge panel. Also in January was the digital release of his free mixtape entitled ‘Black Banner Movement Presents: Grindin’ & Graftin’ – Prophecy Vs Dot Rotten Vol. 1’ through Bandcamp.Com. It is the first installment of the ‘Prophecy Vs’ series. The mixtape was received to critical acclaim and burgeoning hype about an actual full length LP. The first half of 2013 should also bring the release of Prophecy’s EP – ‘Money & Music’. March 2013 will see Prophecy support the legendary Brooklyn, New York MC, Sean Price (aka Rukus of Heltah Skeltah) on his ‘Mic Tyson’ album tour at North London’s The Garage venue.
