BIO  Born in St. Louis, Missouri, Prince Ea has resided there his whole life. The youngest of his parent's two children, Prince Ea heard music in his home, and on the streets. He absorbed the songs and style of hip-hop legends such as Rakim, Chuck D, Canibus, Immortal Technique, and Detroit artist Eminem. His new-found love for knowledge came during his 12th grade at high school, where not only had his love for music had grown substantially, but he had also excelled from an average student to graduating high school with honors. This achievement earned him full scholarship in Anthropology at the University of Missouri.  Prince Ea continues to strive in university with a 4.0 GPA average and is expected to graduate by the summer of 2010, with honors.

Music career
In late 2008 Prince Ea released the mixtape - The Adolescence - on the internet for free download. Widely advertised on websites such as Myspace and Youtube, it gained attention from numerous underground people of interest. Days after the release Prince Ea recorded an amateur video of himself rapping and entered it into a VIBE Magazine contest dubbed “VIBE Verses”. A few months later, Prince Ea was declared the VIBE Verses grand champion and was awarded $5,000 in music recording equipment along with a full page article in the VIBE Magazine, which held a total value of $50,000.

In 2009 he had won a Funkvolume competition with the help of his 6,000 subscribers on YouTube.  He is constantly praised for his unique style which focus on usually uncommon or avoided areas such as scientific theory, government conspiracies and religious institutions.

It is rumored that in 2009 he had won a competition for BET's "BET Cypher" but the promoters had feared a violent altercation would have broken out if Prince Ea had attended, so they decided to choose the runner-up Crown Royyal as the grand prize winner.  It is also rumored he has signed with record label Atlantic Records, but this has not yet been confirmed.

On March 13th, 2009, Prince Ea's associate, Yousef Taleb, stated that his latest mixtape The Mic In The Shoebox is currently in the works for a summer release of 2010.

The "Make 'SMART' Cool" movement
In late 2009 Prince Ea, upset at the present state of the music industry, and along with advice from his long-time friend and teenage entrepreneur Yousef Taleb, decided to form a movement together named "Make 'SMART' Cool". It was put together by Prince Ea, Yousef Taleb and their newest associate Ericka Henderson. The "Make 'SMART' Cool" movement (SMART being an acronym for "Sophisticating Millions And Revolutionizing Thought") will attempt to "promote intelligence to everyone, everywhere and integrate it with hip-hop. To create and nurture, without discrimination or preference, a community of free-thinking individuals under the singular purpose of promoting the ideals of education, intelligence, unity and creativity throughout the world at large.”

A successful underground clothing line, which included t-shirts and sweaters, was subsequently released and has gained notable support from numerous artists such as newly signed So So Def producer Mike Kalombo. In early 2010 the movement received sponsorship from notable hip-hop artist Dr Dre's brand of head-phones, "Beats By Dr. Dre".  It has also received support from artists such as Black Thought, Immortal Technique, August Rigo, and Klassic. On the 29th of March 2010 Prince Ea mentioned in a Youtube update video that a few well-known and major artists have contacted him in support of the Make 'SMART' Cool movement but has not released any of their names or further details so far.
