Chapel aka The Prince

What's good all?! Let me take time out to formally introduce myself as Chapel. I've been writing and making music for nearly 8 years. I started when I was 14 ('98) with a few verses and songs here and there. This was before everybody and they momma was MC'ing, only a few cats came for real, the whack/weak dudes were too scared to even open they mouth in public. The music has changed a lot and so has our community. I respect the craft of MC'ing. I can't box myself into any other category but progressive. I've sincerely experienced a lot, other than getting shot, going to jail and being rich. Good and bad together, I wouldn't change a thing. At this point, I'm proud of myself as a man for coming this far, learning from mistakes and having hope for the future. Life is a blessing and art/music is sacred. The creator and listener should cherish it and push for originality and fresh sound. I'm from White Plains New York, I got a story to tell and I love making music. Over the years I've improved/grown and through the craft I've discovered a lot about myself. I will continue to express myself creatively and make good music that will touch people.

Please download the following 4 songs from my upcoming work of music: Prince of the Plains. It will take a few seconds to download each track but please be patient, it is well worth it. Send me an email or leave a comment. Your feedback is very important.

Peace
