As Connecticut continues to be overlooked by the hip-hop industry, this "sleeper-state" has a savior on the way. Underground rap artist Prolifik is out to put CT on the hip-hop map.

This Bridgeport, CT native was born January 9, 1985. Prolifik fell in love with hip-hop at an early age and began rapping when he was thirteen years old. It served, and still does, as an outlet for any difficulty he has encountered throughout his life.

Writing has been Prolifik's personal therapy for the absence of his biological father, his abusive stepfather, discrimination, etc. When there was no one to talk to or no one that understood him, Prolifik had his verbal journal to make an entry in. Because of this, most of his music deals with real life situations that can hit home with almost anyone. Other topics this versatile mc has touched upon are fictional stories that explore his imagination, love, and the importance of living ones life to the fullest. There is not one emotion that Prolifik overlooks when creating his music. Prolifik's dream as an artist is that one day someone will tell him their life was changed for the better with a song he has written.

Prolifik is in the process of recording all new material for his debut full-length album. There will be snippets of some of the tracks on the album that you can listen to on his web site.
