The Old Prince

Witty, self-deprecating boom bap that trades bravado for brilliance. A masterclass in conscious lyricism that feels like a conversation with a smart friend.

October 16, 2007 · Black Box Recordings (2)

A clever and humble exploration of identity that balances sharp social critique with genuine warmth.

Moments Worth Listening For

The relentless, breathless flow on 'I Don't Like To' that mocks industry tropes without losing its cool.

The poignant shift in 'Brother (Watching)' where the perspective broadens into a global cry for empathy.

The title track's hilarious but painful honesty about being a broke artist living in a parent's basement.
