Rarely has an emcee name been as appropriate as the one adopted by "Pryslezz (price-less)." Given his iconic moniker by a friend for his break dancing skills, the young ingénue of Ohio origin, is one of the most engaging personalities to grace the mic in recent years.
The grit and grime of the Youngstown city streets, that are so prevalent with violence, has left its mark on the multi-faceted artist, which is evident in his music. "Youngstown isn't the easiest place to live," says Pryslezz. "That struggle to survive and thrive gives me a hunger that shines through my words." Full of clever wordplay, Pryslezz is known for his ability to dispense an endless chain of syllables so relentlessly you can almost hear drum machines gasping for air as they struggle to keep the pace.
After watching his older brother write and rhyme, Pryslezz tried his hand at being an emcee at age 10, particularly enjoying being able to express himself creatively and transfer his sentiments onto paper and then the microphone. Later joining his first rap crew (Bust Squad Click) as a freshman in high school, the 9th grader was afforded the opportunity to gain both confidence and lyrical ingenuity that have propelled him to expand into the promising solo artist that he is today. "In addition to music, I write poetry, essays, short stories and novels as well as dabble in painting and photography. I also have two unpublished books of poetry and am hard at work on the completion of a new novel."
Inspired by a hodgepodge of sources such as God, family, life-altering events, everyday living, successes, struggles and nature, Pryslezz knows that it is the recognition of emotions and then the their release that make his music edgy, unique and staying consistently outside the box. "I call the concept of putting yourself in a variety of different boxes 'the captives freedom'. I like to attempt to give something to everyone without stepping outside of my own personal virtues and values. The music isn't as strong if you can't stand behind it."
His debut album, A Search 4 Peace- A Testimony, was released in 2003 creating a tremendous underground buzz, as well as garnering him a throng of loyal followers and having his disc being voted as one of the best albums to come out of Cincinnati that same year. Now, older and more seasoned, Pryslezz is set to release Death of a Man, Rebirth of a King, which is representative of his growth and maturity. "In order for you to change, a part of you has to die. This album was and is a rebirth of pieces of the man that I used to be and the merger of those pieces with the newly molded, tempered and stronger me after the change. This creates the man that I am now." Not your run of the mill rap artist, the first single, "More Than A Love" features R&B crooner Dwele, which is a smooth-flowing cut with radiant harmonies and vocal inflections that suggest a gorgeous picture of a true love story through new eyes and new frames of thought. On the track, "Way Back" featuring velvety-voiced Raheem DeVaughn, Pryslezz flawlessly marries Hip Hop and R&B in a way that is both entertaining and refreshing.
Additional guest features include Jason Derulo, N.O,X., URG, Soler Mesh and Purple Popcorn, as well as production from Blackout Movement (Mims, Ja Rule, Jim Jones, UGK), amongst others. Citing an array of lyrical guru's such as his brother URG, Common, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, OutKast, Eminem, Nas, Jay Z and Busta Rhymes, Pryslezz respects individuality and inspiring messages behind the music. "I like all these artists because they have something to say. They use the microphone as a tool to move and teach people and that's what I'm trying to do with my music, as well as be an innovator."
A seasoned vet, Pryslezz has opened for numerous artists that include Lil Jon, as well as performed alongside Wu Tang Clan, Common, Slum Village, Mos Def, Talib Kweli and Nas on the Rock the Bells Tour. He also showcased his talent on the promotional HBCU College Tour and opened at the House of Blues in Cleveland, OH with Dwele, Jason Derulo and others.
At 24 years old, Pryslezz with his vast experiences and spiritual view of life, create the persona of a soul wise beyond its years. One can book a studio session with a Grammy Winning producer, hire a top stylist or pay a ghostwriter to write hit-making lyrics, but possessing raw, un-cut talent, that's Pryslezz.

Looking forward to seeing the photos. Thanks. The few new photos I just put up were from a shoot I did in September. Thanks for the compliment on the default. I thought it was artsy hehe.
You just gettin' oooooold! LOL I kid. Ha I saw you had a shoot with my girl Fy! She's the best friend one can have! Do we get to see the photos as well?
LOL "on the run" like you on Prison Break haha. But I feel you. I gotta say, I don't travel THAT much, but I've never really had a jetlag. I was exhausted though when I flew to Hawaii, that was the longest trip I ever made. (2 layovers, London and LA) I flew east, west, south, but never really had a jetlag. I guess thats also cause I got a regular job, if u go straight back to that, you back on schedule in no time.
