Get to know Prynce P.
 

Javanan: You recently released the biggest Hip Hop compilations out of Dallas, TX. Why did you choose to name this project, 14?
Prynce P: I named it 14 since I started music in 2002 and I ended my musical career in 2016.  The number 14 represents the number of years that I was in the industry.   
 
Javanan: Since the last time we talked, did you really end your musical career? Are you completely done with music?
Prynce P: I ended it because I have met all my challenges. It is finally out of my system.  Am I completely done with music? Never… Music is in my blood and I will always be in and out of the recording studio.  I am more involved with artist development. 
 
Javanan: We know you do more than music, even though that is a full-time career in itself. And why did you choose to also have a career, separate from music?
Prynce P:  I have a bachelor’s degree in Business Logistics and my M.B.A. in Strategic leadership, and have been in and out of the corporate world for over 16 years.  Furthermore, I owned a franchise sandwich shop (“Which Wich”) for 3 years working 90+ hours a week.  Recently, I have partnered up with my brother in Real Estate as Dallas is one of the hottest cities in the U.S.  To answer your question, I am a workaholic and this is how I have funded my music label for over a decade.

Javanan: And we know you love to travel as well.
Prynce P:  I am obsessed with history and that’s why I love to travel. It also opens my mind musically. It humbles me. The more I travel, the more I realize that money does not bring happiness. I see happier people in poor countries because they live simply. My goal in 2 years is to see all the new wonders of the world. And to promote the Persepolis to be recognized as one of them.

Javanan: How do you juggle so many things at a time? Do you ever sleep?
Prynce P: Sleep? What is sleep [laughs]. I’ve been blessed with a great amount of energy that is driven from the hunger inside me.  Every day is a gift! Every morning that I wake up is an opportunity for me to be better than the person I was yesterday.  Every year, I set five major goals for myself.  Goals that are almost impossible to reach and I work every minute to achieve them for that year.
 
Javanan: You have a song named “Sons of Cyrus” that we recently talked about in our magazine. For those who haven’t heard it yet, tell us about it and who worked on it.
Prynce P: This song is about Cyrus the Great. Although I was raised in America, I have a lot of love and respect for our culture and rich history.  I felt as I owed it to our people to make a song about Cyrus. Our main goal was to do it in a way that Non-Persians would do research on him and those who are Persian be proud of who we are.
I chose Miladic from NYC and Motian who just moved to Dallas from Oklahoma City, to collaborate on it.  I chose them because of their musical style as they had the same goal as I did.  The chemistry between the three of us was just too perfect and you’ll hear it on the song.  We also decided to fly to LA and work with AZ Flimz to make a video out of it.  
We released the video in September and in just 1 week, it has gotten over 6,000 views.  Furthermore, our phones and social media’s have been blowing up since the release in regard to people being excited to learn something new about Cyrus.  This song did exactly what we wanted it to do.

Javanan: It seems like you make music for more than just personal gains.
Prynce P: I use most of the profits my music and help the homeless twice a year by feeding over 200 people. Obviously, with lots of help from friends. I try to use music for the right reasons. That’s my goal

Javanan: Any advice for people out there who are trying to get better at their craft?
Prynce P: Never stop training.  Whether is to train your body or your mind.  Find coaches! Whatever you are interested in, find someone who is better than you.  Study them! Breathe their work ethic and continue until you become as good as them.  Once you do, find a coach who is better. Keep doing this until you are satisfied with your accomplishments.
