James The Prophet joined forces with Chester Watson on “Tobago.” The single
With debut album Unimaginable Storms on the horizon (out July 9 via Sony Music / Rupture)
20-year-old Franco-American rapper James The Prophet has shared another fresh slice of introspective lo-fi hip hop, this time joining forces with Chester Watson (Nü Age Syndicate) on “Tobago.” The single today follows album cut/jazz-funk banger “Power On,” ghostly single “Sentinel” feat. British MC Lord Apex, and recent performance and conversation with platinum rapper Bun B at the French Embassy in Houston, TX.
The rapper is blowing up in France (hip hop’s 2nd biggest market) – on France 24 (their CNN), GQ, Vanity Fair, etc — and for bringing socially conscious/sensitive rap to the forefront. His last Bedroom Sessions release benefitted the Paris Hospitals Foundation and following last year’s We Love Green festival with Young Thug, Lana Del Rey & Bad Bunny, he’ll be opening up for hip hop legend Yasiin Bey (Mos Def) soon.
Amidst a backdrop of richly colored beats blending jazz, soul, funk, and old-school hip hop, this new album is eclectic but unswerving in its consistency…The title is a nod to the fact that beyond the surface, everyone is dealing with their own crises. James has already released the Trumpism protest song “G.O.P” ft. French platinum artist Kalash Criminel (half a million views) of the album. His triple UK/US/French citizenship gives him a foot in all three cultures, though he raps in English thanks to his affinity for East Coast boom-bap of idols Nas and Biggie.
