Prof - Topic

With lyrical skill matched only by his raucous live shows, Prof has arrived on the national stage. Coming out of Minneapolis, MN, Prof has perfected the art of combining blue collar hard work and unimpeachable content with never taking himself too seriously. His seventh studio album, Horse, was released on his own Stophouse Music Group label April 14, 2023, and let the world at large in on a secret that music fans already know: Prof is a force to be reckoned with. His most recent album, Powderhorn Suites, shocked the industry with an amazing run through the charts. Released in November, 2020, Powderhorn Suites reached a career-high #3 on the Billboard Current Rap Albums charts, #5 Top New Artists Albums, #15 Independent Album, & #36 Billboard Top Albums. What followed has been a masterclass in making it as an independent artist; Prof leaned into the fantastical tales and dynamic persona that have cultivated his rabid fan base. He reclaimed his outlets, going from zero Youtube followers to over 175,000 subscribers in under two years. Following the Powderhorn Suites album, Prof had an incredible 2022, racking up over 140 Million streams and performing 30 sold out shows. Horse is the culmination of his personal Rocky training montage, but you can’t call it a comeback, because Prof’s numbers have only ever gone up. Horse is a powerful record, showcasing his singular drive and the weirdness of real life that has propelled Prof to the pinnacle of the independent rap music world.
