percee p weekend

this is the start of a few posts about living legend percee p.


percee p's been rhyming since 1979 and dropped a few singles here and there. when he dropped 'Lung Collapsing Lyrics', on what should've been his big break, it established him as one of the best fast rapping emcees. when his expected success didn't come he started working in retail management and dropped a few singles - that are now rare collectors items. it wasn't till the late 90's that percee started getting aggressive about making some money from his craft and started slanging his cd's in front of Fat Beats in new york.... he met a shitload of future emcees while doing that like Aesop Rock, Jedi Mind Tricks, C Rayz Walz, Jurassic 5, etc. he eventually got straight with peanut butter wolf (exec of stones throw records) who signed percee to his label. now he percee is able to drop his debut album "Perseverance".

i first heard of percee when my boy gave me a mixtape of his, "Legendary Status". that tape had a shit load of exclusive freestyles and legendary shit from the rhyme inspector...
