Prince Paul

Razor & Tie, New York, USA

Fellow innovator Steve 'Steinski' Stein called this man "the closest thing hip hop has to a genius". By the age of ten, Prince Paul's pals were comparing him to Grandmaster Flash. He had to convince them otherwise, and has been challenging people's preconceptions about hip hop ever since: from his scratches in Stetsasonic to his groundbreaking production with De La Soul and Handsome Boy Modelling School, as well as his solo productions. Heads should take note that rebellion and money were never the focus - even hip hop itself wasn't the focus. "The focus, that was always the music."
