William Prize Talks His New Album "I AM PRIZE, Vol 1"
By: Omar Cook
In the midst of countrywide chaos, North Carolina rapper William Prize shines his light with his new album I Am Prize, Vol 1. “The title is a phrase within my stage name “William Prize” and also the acknowledgement of ones self-worth.” This project comes off of the heels of his last mixtape A Light Tape 2 which he dropped in 2019.
“This project wasn’t supposed to happen, firstly. I’ve been working to develop a sound where I can be played in the clubs without sacrificing my artist integrity and with this project I think I’ve done just that. Whenever someone taps into this project , they’ll prolly be riding in the car, getting dressed for the club/pregaming but also there’s songs that’s gonna give you that old school vibe.”
This project features 11 tracks and a bunch of features from other rising artists including DJ Eze, Fazenc, Kareem Trip, Carolina Dreams, Villeboy Rand, Fat Mack, and Cidy Pyramids. You definitely get that true old school hip hop feel with tracks like “French Blues”. Prize switches up the mood of the project to a mellow feel with his track “Spennanight” featuring Carolina Dreams and picks the pace back up with “Poison NV” featuring VilleBoy Rand. This project has something for everyone.
“In light of all the racial turmoil and inhumane treatment of blacks by this justice-less system , a must listen is the bonus track, “Ceiling Flows ll” featuring Cidy Pyramid’s. It is real bars, my real emotion, and thoughts on the justice system over a smooth, gritty yet soulful chop, produced by kingsclass!”
This project is a must listen and Prize is definitely improving from project to project emerging as an artist that needs to be on everyone’s radar. “People can expect HIGH energy! Lyrics! And meaningful content for sure. Be on the lookout for my REAL project coming later this year, UP FROM HERE.
