If you've never heard of this lyrical powerhouse than I suggest you pay close attention. He goes by the name of Prince Ea and comes straight out of St. Louis, Missouri. Back in late 2008, VIBE Magazine held a contest entitled "VIBE Verses" that accepted video/audio entries from a slew of aspiring artists from across the country giving them a chance to win $5,000 in music recording equipment and a full page article in VIBE that from my understanding is an estimated value of $50,000, to whoever had the hottest verse. Immediately after watching Prince Ea's entry I was in complete awe and I knew in the back of my mind that he was sure to take the crown for hottest verse without question. Not only can this phenomenon flow but his lyrical content is extraordinary covering topics like politics, religion, worldly issues, and doing so in a unique and wise manner. He's also highly intelligent and is currently majoring in anthropology and minoring in biology at the honors college. Regardless of his busy school schedule he still manages to bless our very ears with beautiful music and I'm very pleased to put you bloggers on! Below I'm going to post first his VIBE magazine entry (The contest in which Prince Ea won!!!!), a video of him spitting 100 bars over Wale's Nikeboots instrumental, and last I'll post his new entry for the new VIBE Verse contest that just started. I will leave a link below so you all can vote!! Enjoy and remember who put you on first.
