Propa's BIO
Born in Jacksonville, Florida but raised between New Orleans, LA and the island home of Bermuda also known as “Da Rock”, at the age of 20 years old, up-and-coming artist Propa has been slowly making a name for himself within the underground music scene. This artist is like none others with his lyrical, diverse, unique but catchy slang style of talk that blends both American and Bermudian accents in one, which is called “Town Boy Talk” as he puts it.
Propa has been in the music industry for over six years, first starting out in middle school just freestyle battling for fun with his peers when his schoolmates and teachers took notice of his talent. “I ain’t think anything of it at first, I just was rapping to rap when people would be like, “Man you got mad skills you sound like a real rapper”. Then one day in class Propa was freestyling when his teacher overheard him and advised him to start writing songs. “When I first started out writing songs I was about thirteen so I was just writing random off-the-wall raps, trying to understanding the craft of song writing. That was when I brought my first rap CD which was The Hot Boy’s first CD they made.”
As Propa got deeper into music he developed his own rap style and his skills of penning songs and freestyling progressed tremendously taking him to new heights in his music pursuit. Not just that but he took up producing beats, arranging music, ghostwriting for numerous artists, and begun exposing his singing skills in his music as well. All which help to earning himself a name from battling in ciphers, to features on artists’ songs, to going on radio shows to freestyle, to were it led him to having the opportunity to open for various artists in Bermuda such as Jim Jones, Keyshia Coles, and Mario. All these chains of events have help Propa gain the popularity and to progress with his music and performances.
Propa has had a couple street and radio hit songs that gained him the buzz he’d been anxious for. With songs like “Finger Snap” and the remake and counteraction of Rhianna’s hit “Unfaithful” re-entailed “Unfaithful the Reply to Rhianna Part. 1” and “Unfaithful the Reply to Rhianna Part 2” you could compare these two songs to a rap version of R. Kelly’s “Trapped in the Closet” series. And as most of today’s artists are doing, Propa took his music to the Internet: from Myspace.com, Soundclick.com, Vybezalliance.tv, and Blackplanet.com, just showcasing his musical talent gaining much attention and building his fan base throughout.
Within the last couple months Propa started up his own music company called Young Swagga Entertainment and has his debut mixtape, “Leader of the New Skool Vol. 1” dropping late-summer 2007. This young man has a pure natural rare talent with the charisma and swagger that is sure enough to take him to stardom. “I only make music that deals with love and pain in life, I ain’t afraid to express myself, expressing myself with reality’s ups and downs is what sets me apart from the rest, I speak from the heart and soul of every young person trying to get by in life, I am that true definition of real.”
