Prophet
Can We Talk! Radio has had the pleasure of knowing Prophet since January 2008. When we first met this artist, he was performing at an open mic hosted by Can We Talk! Radio at Babylon Futbol. His performance was captivating to say the least. He gave a show stopping performance with a vast variety of content. His songs spoke to the hearts and minds of the audience while providing a rhythm that everyone could rock to. After that performance we asked Prophet to perform at our Hip-Hop & Go-Go youth Forum which was held January 20th 2008. Later, he appeared on our Internet radio show on February 21, 2008. During the show, we discussed the influences of music videos. Prophet shared his views and gave us some insight from the perspective of an artist. Prophet’s ability to give a mind boggling performance, give back to the community and share his views on the social issues of today have been the reason we have continued to have a professional relationship with this talented gentleman.

Bio
Prophet began his interest in hip hop at the age of 15. Currently a solo artist under the 95 Connect Movement and Co-founder of Sonorous Soul Productions; Prophet is a dynamic artist fusing all the flavors of hip hop into a spread that can be consumed by any hip hop patron. Self proclaimed the “Future of Hip Hop”, he has taken the underground market in Northern VA, MD, and DC by storm leaving his mark on every ear that takes a listen..
Eric Blands A.K.A PROPHET was and born and raised in Englewood, NJ and now resides Northern VA pursuing his music career. Prophetto gravitated towards Hip Hop like most black male youth of today at an early age and began rapping at the age of 15, meanwhile still retaining a love for R&B and an array of different genres. Heavily influenced by many Hip Hop artists, the ones that stand out are Pac, Biggie, Nas, Jay-Z, and Eminem in no specific order. Though these are the first to come to mind he still listens to and respects an array of artists like Kool G Rap, Common, Dead Pres, Lil Brother, Slum Village, Ericka Badu, Jill Scott, Dwelye, Twista, K. West, and list goes on.
Since moving into the domain of the DIRTY SOUTH Prophet has been able to broaden his horizons and become more versatile in his craft. Prophet writes his lyrics from the heart and likes to use real life experiences to influence his material. At the same time, he likes to make feel good music as well. Something you can move your body to. While staying true to his self, Prophet brings a fresh sound to the scene. He doesn't like to keep the same dynamics of his flow on every song. Switching it up is must if you want to have longevity in this biz and he definitely brings that to the table. Prophet pushes to be unique and set his self apart from other artists.
