hardcore lyrics along with non-stop energy will have
Times Square rocking.
In addition to Foxxx, the group that started Prince
Paul’s career, Stetsasonic will also be in

DBC, Wise and Prince Paul were Stetsasonic
the “First Hip-Hop Band,” and are known for their
classic records, “Sally” and “Talking all that Jazz.”
Paul’s career started when Daddy-O tapped a
teenage Paul to DJ for the up and coming band. Stet
went on to release several smash records on Tommy
Boy in the 80’s and 90’s including “In Full Gear”
and “On Fire.”

songs
from his forthcoming album. Known for his unique
story telling and talent as a master MC, J-Live
penned such underground hits such as “Braggin’
Writes,” and “Satisfied.” Paul helped J create the
timeless album, “The Best Part” while J was signed to
London Records. J later returned the favor by
rocking “The Truth” on Handsome Boy Modeling
School’s, “So, How’s Your Girl?”
The 5th Annual Room Service CMJ Showcase is will
be a celebration of Prince Paul’s career. Professor
Prince Paul will be joined by friends and colleagues as
well as some of the many artists he has worked with
over his 20 year career.
