Prime-One
I am Prime-One,a.k.a Vincent Van Flow,16-Bar Assassin,The Vanilla Thrilla,amongst other handles. I've been writing rap songs off-and-on since 1987. I prefer to think of myself as a lyricist as opposed to being a rapper because there is a difference. Anyone can be a rapper...it takes pure skill to be a lyricist. I'm never content with where I'm at on a lyrical level and I keep pushing myself forward and stepping up my game. I got a lot of different styles and I drop all types of different shit so you never know what I'm going to come out with next.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I don't do anything live right now.I'm just getting my shit out there.I'm underground like a lot of other cats but that's cool..I'm going to be somewhere..whether I'm digital or analog.
Your musical influences
I got all kinds.I like a lot of musical styles.Hip-hop,rock,jazz. Rap influences? Wu-Tang Clan,Canibus,Rakim,KRS-One,Eminem,Nas. Now I'm at a point where I am influenced by me.
