Consisting of eight members, the Prophets have released a debut LP, Wreckless Writers (Soul Hole). The four emcees in the group (Meat Matter, Big Bob da Norfstar, D.B.L. and Phat-Nice, a Southside Chicago import) gel flawlessly with beats and scratches from the group’s producers and DJs Benellis, Gamez, DJ Ken-Cut and DJ Dyce. P.O.G.‘s unique style is difficult to categorize, but songs such as “Suave Soul,” “Kurrency” and “West Phil,” a tribute to the group’s hometown, bring to mind the style of underground favorites Jurassic 5. Their strong hooks, upbeat tracks, lyrical harmonization and incorporation of multiple emcees is reminiscent of earlier times in hip-hop. Other joints, like “What’s Tha Matter?” and “Fake Identity” (featuring Mecca Star), show the intellect of the group and discuss social issues, such as the phenomenon of rappers glorifying negativity. “Tha Battle,” “Vocal Lubrication” and “Da Expansion” (produced by Tantrum) are simply examples of their lyrical prowess, while “Muffled Mics” (Ray Supreme) and “Extreme Heat” (featuring the aforementioned Bahamadia) are also standout tracks. P.O.G. even offers some reggae flavor on “Puff n Listen” (featuring Ike Shawn, Jazzciple and Habib) and “I Speak,” and it works surprisingly well. The lyrics on Wreckless Writers are on-point and the beats compliment the emcees well, but the perhaps the group’s best trait is their versatility. Although Wreckless is P.O.G.‘s first release, the members of the group are not rookies. Besides performing at several shows in Philadelphia, they accompanied Bahamadia on her European tour and freestyled on the renowned Wake-Up Show in San Francisco. Big Bob da Norfstar calls the experience of touring with Bahamadia “a dream come true,” and labels the female emcee a “positive influence.” As far as the group’s steez, Bob says P.O.G. has “a positive vibe,” and wants “to teach the youth.” While they are not content with the lack of recognition they have received, Bob philosophizes “treading these muddy waters, somewhere near the tunnel, there’s some light.” Although they are currently struggling to receive some shine, with perseverance, P.O.G. will eventually gain success.

来自West Philadelphia,出道还受到当地大拿bahamadia的照顾,但这个由八名rapper组成的大团一直没有走起得来,这张是他们唯一一张专辑,开篇的Tha Battle就给人拳拳到肉的感觉,前几首都比较hardcore一点,后面有几首有点Reggie风格,不过这张的确是特色比较匮乏,同风格比他们做的好的太多了
