Prof, KingHellBastard, and The Night Krawlers at Mad Planet
In a hip-hop scene that’s sticky to labels like “avant-garde” and “conscious,” rapper Prof is something of an aberration. He’s an unabashed party MC who will drop a dick simile as readily as Lil Wayne does. That’s not to say there isn’t substance in what he does. Cocky and capable, Prof has a penchant for braggy, mainstream-aligned raps that don’t yield trashy throwaways. The dude’s whip smart, a trait that’s necessary when scaling the Twin Cities rap hierarchy. His latest, Recession Music, comes with the budget-friendly price of free online; high-profile guests like Yelawolf and Slug from Atmosphere; and smart, fun beats like those on “Horses In The Ghetto” and “Kelly Kapowski.” Milwaukee’s equally sharp KingHellBastard, meanwhile, is currently riding high on its excellent new record, The War Room.
