Yes, I know I just got done blasting the impersonal way guest verses are often put together in the digital age, but there are also some serious advantages to making music via the interwebs. For example, twenty years ago it would have been practically impossible to get Miami emcee J NiCS, L.A. emcee El Prez and Boston emcee REKS together for a track like "All These Bitches Love It".
As part of a new series I'm loosely calling "You Should Come and Buy Me Drinks in Atlanta, Oh, And Also Here's Some Dope Music" I'm proud to present Freddie Gibbs and El Prez' new single "Executive Decision". I've said it a hundred times and I'll say it again, Gibbs' flow is simply one of the best, if not the best in the game. See more...
El Prez pays homage to what's arguably the most exciting and most looked forward to day of the week on his latest single, "Friday." And don't worry aside from the name El Prez' track has absolutely nothing to do with the Rebecca Black song of the same name unless I missed the parts where Rebecca Black sings about blunts and booty's on her song.

Inglewood's own El Prez gets back to his animalistic side on his latest release "I'm Gone (King Kong)." Produced by Ro Blvd "I'm Gone" is a jaunty party track that features El Prez rapping about everything from "popping bottles on the White House lawn" to chic's and kicks. Listen and download...
Why am I posting this new "Ferris Bueller (Personal Day Off)" joint from The Canz, featuring a mellow out beat from Marcotics and guest verses from Aleon Craft and El Prez? Good question. Let's review, outline style. Listen and download...
First things first, the title of El Prez' new mixtape/album/mixalbum, "Animal Style!" isn't about beastiality (deep sigh of relief). It's a reference to In-N-Out, and refers to a special way they prepare the burger and fries that only the locals and savvy customers even knew existed, on a “secret” menu. Second, for those who aren't familiar with rising SoCal star El Prez, and for those who are, "Animal Style" is a collection of some of the innovative emcees best work from the past few months.

The always fresh L.A. emcee El Prez is preparing to drop his new album "Animal Style" on February 15, and in preparation he's letting loose of a steady stream of the album's top tracks, starting with the jazzy "Victory Lapse". Produced by The A3 and featuring rhyme appearances from Donwill and Von Pea of Tanya Morgan fame, if "Animal Style" is anywhere as dope as "Victory Lapse" we're in store for one hell of a musical meal next week. Keep it locked for more leaks. Listen and download...
For the past year the intensely creative Inglewood emcee El Prez has been tearing up any track he gets on, and to prove it he's now released the cleverly titled "Featured Prezentation", a mixtape put together by DJ Printz that, you guessed it, includes nearly every feature the man's been on in the past few months (including one very dope DJBooth.net freestyle). So whether you're a long time fan, you've been hearing his name whispered amongst hip-hop heads or you only just read about his work on our most recent Production Breakdown, this is on mixtape you need to cop right now.

Do you ever hear colors, or see sounds? You're not alone, it's actually a medical condition called synesthesia, a condition that caused our resident production expert Richard to see orange wavy lines when he listened to El Prez's new track "Phantom of the Opera". See more...
