Dennis Princewell Stehr, better known as Mr. Probz, is a Dutch hip hop artist, songwriter and producer of Danish and Antillian descent. He is known for his raps, songs and choruses in both Dutch and English.
He is known for the critically acclaimed songs like "Drivin'", "Who Are You" and "Get My Props", a string of hits in Dutch language and many collaborations with well known hip hop artists in the United States. He is considered an independent artist.
He was active from a young age, and started with graffiti and wrote lyrics about his every day experiences as an inner city youth. On August 6, 2010, Mr. Probz was shot down in Amsterdam. In the hospital the popular hip hop artist received support from the Dutch media and fellow musicians and fans. Within days after his release from the hospital, he was already back to focusing on his music. Half a year after the incident, he had a Dutch hit song "Meisje luister" in collaboration with Kleine Viezerik. It became a #1 hit at the FunX Hip Hop Chart. In 2010 Mr. Probz was nominated for a BNN/State Award in the category "Best Artist". He was the first unsigned artist to get this nomination in the award show's history.
In the Dutch feature hip hop film Bolletjes Blues Mr. Probz plays the role of lead character Jimmy.
In his career Mr. Probz has recorded and worked closely with artists like Alchemist, Joell Ortiz, Joe Budden, Scott Storch, Yukmouth, Grafh, Raekwon, Royce da 5'9 and Giorgio Tuinfort (Konvict Music), among many others. Currently Mr. Probz is readying his debut album, called The Treatment.
