Proph the Problem was born in and raised primarily in Cleveland, Ohio. Product of teen-aged parents Proph was exposed at an early age to an eclectic array of styles ranging from the 60's soul and 70's funk his grandmother played, to the pop, rock, and hip hop that his mother, aunts, and uncles had listened to. Proph the Problem's music is a collage made up of the unique traits of the genres he was exposed to early on birthing a diverse, and dynamic sound.

Proph the Problem's music can most accurately be described as universal, versatile, or any synonym of those words. Though Proph's music is able to relate, and connect to different kinds of audiences there remains a constant standard of uncompromise.  Proph's music is a genuine reflection of what, where, and most importantly who Proph the Problem is. "I'd assume that listeners would like to know me more personally than to just hear my music and see pictures. I like to know my favorite artists beyond the music. It's always interesting to me to see what kinds of things make them who they are, and its fun to kind of compare similarities." When the "record" button is pressed you can wager your last dollar assured that the fruits will be nothing less than the real Proph. "I don't see a reason in trying to sell you something that isn't me. If I'm lying to you then I'm wasting my time as well as yours."

Proph the Problem's music cannot be categorized to any one specific sub genre of hip hop. "I write to the beats... Or should I say the beats write to me. Combine the style of the track with the way I'm feeling at that particular moment and that determines the style of flow I use, the mood, and the subject matter. Since I don't feel the same way 100% of the time the music isn't going to sound the same 100% of the time." Though the music doesn't follow a formula there remains a uniform quality... Undeniable appeal, and integrity.

Proph's voice, charisma, and seemingly effortless delivery often draw comparisons to hip hop artist Jay-Z. Other popular comparisons include artists such as Nas, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Common, and Lupe Fiasco. What sets Proph apart from this group is willingness to grow and explore musically. Proph the Problem also writes RnB as well as Top 40 music and has already had several placements as a songwriter.

Releasing his acclaimed debut "The Proph LP... Welcome Back to Hip Hop" in June of 2007 Proph the Problem has already seen a nice share of accolades and notoriety. Today he still excercizes the same focus with his aim set on expanding his audience nationally. "When I first came on to the scene my goal was to make sure that everyone in Cleveland knew who I was, when that happened I wanted more... And knew that I had what it what it took to make that happen." With the constant drive to even further fine tune his music and distinguish a signature sound it shouldn't be a surprise if you've heard of or heard Proph the Problem's music already by the time you've read this.
