Arabian Prince Sighting!

by Frank

West Coast Hip Hop veteran Arabian Prince found himself posing for the cover of 'Straight Outta Compton' as a part of N.W.A., when he decided only weeks prior to its release to leave the group in pursuit of a solo career. After somewhat moderate success, he stepped away from the music scene in the mid 90’s, with the evidence of his 80’s genius almost completely forgotten.

Luckily, Stones Throw (known for artists that break barriers) has announced that it will release 'Innovative Life: The Anthology 1984-1989', a collection of this electro-rap pioneer. Make sure to check out his bio, as well as Stones Throw’s West Coast Rap Timeline.
