Producer TomC3, from the Threshold Recordings release “Project Polaroid” with Kool Keith, has a style that isn’t for the faint of ear.

His work on “Saga of the Simian Samurai” is no different.

TomC3’s boom bap laced with well, thought-out vocal stabs and funky progressive soundscape, sets the perfect foundation for Prince Po’s rugged vocal delivery.

Prince Po’s lyrics and cadences crush on every track. Whether true-life story telling, teaching old school lessons, or spittin’ dope rhymes, Prince Po proves his many styles make him one of hip- hop’s most talented artists.

The disc’s cameos by Kool Keith, Motion Man, AG, and Del tha Funky Homosapian are a perfect blend to compliment Prince Po’s signature style.

A message to underground hip-hop fans worldwide: Hip-hop is alive and more powerful than ever, as long as producers like TomC3 and Rapper Prince Po keep droppin’ jewels like this one.
