about

Since releasing songs with underground rap legends Saigon, Skyzoo & Rapper Big Pooh, American hip hop recording artist D.P. Da Prophet returns with a soulful, self-reflecting & at times a true storytelling project reminiscent of the days when albums like The College Dropout touched more than just our ears. Without any samples to pay tribute to, D.P. Da Prophet & his producers create all original music with a timeless sound. No rap features can be found as Da Prophet sets up an intimate setting between him & his fans that is perfect for devouring his latest body of work. Similar to J. Cole's Born Sinner, vocalists & choirs are the only guests to appear on D.P.'s This Is For You. Sit back, put your headphones on & get lost with every snare, kick & word that was assembled just for you.
