With a legacy built on hard work and dedication, Prolifik continues to push the boundaries of underground hip-hop, solidifying his position as a respected figure in the scene.
Starting in the group Colt 45, Prolifik released his debut album “Children Of The Darkside” in 2005. He then established himself as a solo artist, playing shows across the Midwest and collaborating with other notable underground artists. As a founding member of the Hot Box Boyz, Prolifik toured the nation and released the criticallyacclaimed HBB EP before the group’s eventual breakup in 2010.After a six-year hiatus, Prolifik returned with a vengeance, releasing his debut solo album “Prolifik 1990” in 2016. The album’s success led to a record deal with Force 5 Records, where he dropped his sophomore album “Cabin Fever” in 2020, featuring some of the biggest names in the underground. Most recently, Prolifik joined forces with They Liv3, releasing their self-titled album in 2023, which charted at #42 on the iTunes hip-hop charts.

How long have you been in the scene?
I’ve been writing and have been involved with music since 2004, but wasn’t able to record my first track until 2006.
How many albums have you released?
My first album was a group project called “Colt 45” that was developed in 2006 with my lil bro, the album was called “Children Of The Darkside” and was released for free on the web in 2008. My seconed project was the “Hot Box Boyz Demo” in early 2010 and was also free on the web. My First Full Length “Prolifik” album “EST. 1990” came out this past September of 2016.
