“Rapper Black Prez has had an incredible 2012. From going on a European tour that included stops in Germany, Austria and the Czech Republic to performing free style raps with a global superstar, Black Prez corresponded exclusively with me to talk his best parts of 2012 and what fans can expect from him during the upcoming year.”

— Jacob Elyachar, Black Prez (The 2012 Interview)

“Black Prez has been around the Denver rap scene since before Obama was elected to office. He has always been a good rapper but he only keeps getting better. Recently he has done some interesting remixes and mash-ups. Check out his latest, “Teach Me How To Dubby”, where he raps over a mash up of Cali Swag District‘s ”Teach Me How to Dougie” and Bassnectar‘s “Basshead”. Its two songs I couldn’t get enough of combined and revamped so I can relive the obsession all over again.”

— Before The Bigs, Before The Bigs

“So I’ve got a remix from a site favorite Nero, from the UK rapper Dizzee Rascal who I’ve actually never featured on the site. And then I’ve got Colorado based Black Prez’s version of the track entitled ‘Fly Away’ which I actually like better then Dizzee’s. The beat is an upbeat dancey, drum and bass sounding, song with some dubstep elements. The song is real fun upbeat, great rapping on both versions, and has the sickness of dubstep all in both tracks. Turn it up and enjoy”

— Nick G, This song is sick

“This kid has game beyond his years and is absolutely slaying the Colorado hip hop scene. Born of a broken home, child of a military life that took him from Alabama to Paderborn, Germany before landing him in Colorado, nothing Black Prez brings to the mic is predictable. Check out some his filthy new tracks below, chill out and enjoy some Black Prez”

— The Adventurous 500

“Some MCs put a lot of space around their punchlines, building up the anticipation before delivering their best lyrical blow. You won’t find that with Black Prez, mainly because every line is gold. The Colorado rapper casually delivers witty and oblique references without all the pomp and circumstance. On “They Know” he spits lines like “I ain’t ever been seen as a clown but I’m It” and “Been around here for a minute like dodo” back to back without pause. If you’re not a Stephen King fan or a connoisseur of extinct birds, you may not get the joke. But that’s a risk Black Prez is willing to take. Digital zaps and a lumbering beat make your heart race while the lyrics do the same for your mind. “She On Fire” is spacey and bassy, bouncing along with epic synths. “Party like it’s 2012 and it’s the grand finale,” Black Prez commands. Whether you buy into the Mayan calendar or not, you’ve got no choice but to obey.”

— Kate B, Our Stage

“The video is innovative to say the least. Song equally dope. He says,"Barack will run the country, Black Prez will run rap". How cool is that???”

— Baby Face Monster, Chi Bangerz

“His rein at Colorado State University has given him a stable fan base as he continues to press through the daily grind of being a dreamer”

— Re election year

“For my latest podcast, I stepped outside the realm of sports and met up with local artist Black Prez who just got back from his tour in Europe. We discussed what a typical day in the life of an artist is like, how he got started in the business, and even found time to talk Broncos. Oh, and Black Prez even fresstyles…you have GOT to hear it. Enjoy!”

— Mario Vetanze, The Sports Pyramid

“Green Mtn Performance ”

— Blackpreztv, Green Mtn Performance

“Black Prez performs his song "Blicky" live in Old Town”

— Alana, One Song

“GM spotlights "Ima Tell Em" by Black Prez as the Single of the Week. The beat is catchy and features Black Prez and the crew 'stoopin' in Fort Collins”

— Gaines Media, Black Prez
