Prince Po
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Prince Po is an American rapper and former member of the rap duo Organized Konfusion with Pharaohe Monch. Following the separation of Organized Konfusion after their 1997 album "The Equinox", Prince Po (formerly Prince Poetry) met underground producer Danger Mouse in 2002 and then signed to the Warp Records subsidiary Lex Records in 2004 with three EPs and his debut solo album "The Slickness" featuring production from Lex Records own Danger Mouse and Jel, along with Madlib and British producer Richard X. In 2006 he released his second album also own Lex Records, although the album lacked the production quality of The slickness with only Madlib returning from the previous LP. His latest album, Saga Of The Simian Samurai, features production from Kool Keith collaborator TomC3.
Prince Po has generally garnered positive reviews from the music press, but has never been able to emulate the success of his former bandmate Pharaohe Monch who signed to major hip-hop label Rawkus Records after the break up of Organized Konfusion.
