Rap
duo Boss Nutt & Mr. C (formerly known
as “Prodagy”) that brought you hits like “Money
Trees”, “Visions”,
and “Blazin’ higher”
is back as GPRII with the latest, visceral
street-smart release: The Wide-Awakeness GPRII
are Fernando Payne and Che Carter.
Over the last ten years, this one-two punch chemistry has
performed on many stages throughout Michigan, Chicago, Cleveland
and the entire Midwestshow circuit as headliners and opening
acts for today’s chart toppers. This rap duo is no-holds-barred,
delivering conscientious quotations, lyrical imagery and
vocal inflections mixed with an unmatched delivery. GPRII’s
musical diversity is influenced by rap heavyweights Scarface,
8 Ball & MJG, Tupac, R&B artist Phyllis Hyman to
name a few. GPRII’s first album was produced in 1996
under the name Prodagy by Motown
legendary powerhouse songwriter Barrett Strong and his label,
Incarcerated Sounds, based in Southfield,
Michigan. After leaving Incarcerated Sounds, Boss
Nutt and Mr. C created their own label and created
GPRII. On The Wide-Awakeness, GPRII visits
the club scene with songs like “Somethin Hot
Somethin Rich” and “Party Like,”
the rippin live groove track featuring FunkShWay™,
Detroit’s most Zen-tastic, in-the-pocket rhythm section
and produced by the inimitable STS™.
In the intro to this album, Boss Nutt offers
his lyrical narration of his present state of a familiar
mindset. Immediately the scene takes you to the core of
the GPRII bloodline with the hit track
“Spittin Fire!” As the album
progresses, GPRII sympathizes with the
youth, affirming that “Living is Hell” in a
song dedicated to showing compassion for the plight of theirchildren.
“Bust and Smash” offers more
street credibility,flipping arrangements with special guest
appearance from “Bell” the
untouchable. Boss Nutt is Fernando
Payne and Mr. C is Che
Carter. Both were born in Ann Arbor, Michigan and
raised on the rhythms of the streets of Detroit.
With in-your-face delivery they offer some
of the hippest musical revolution in the Western hemisphere
(Che was named after Che Guevara
and he carries that banner well), and give us a bit of what
we all crave: Truth, Reality, and Shine.
