Pride Over Riches
P.o.R embraces the true elementz of hip hop. If your tired by dumb downed radio on the charts then P.o.R is a good start to rehab your ears
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
P.o.R was formed in 2003 in Newark,DE by long time friends and emcees Z-Lyrikal and D-Scribe. all tho the 2 had appeared on each others various projects it wasnt untill this point that the group was made official. By 2004 the group began laying down what would become the rough draft to their 2006 release Loose Change. Along the way P.o.R began performing at local night spots in the Delaware Vally catching the eyes of the local fan base in the process.
Soon after the release of Loose Change the 2 became inaugural members of The Crazy 88's, a conglomerate of emcee's such as The 49'ers, Phil Nash, Gentle Jones and Square One but have since parted ways with the 88's.
During this time Z-Lyrikal began to master his craft at production and P.o.R began to work on album 2, Bumz Luck. It was also around this time that Dj Tactics of Pure Elementz (103.9 The beat) fame became a member of the unit and has been dj'ing for live shows since.
Stay tuned for the conclusion, tickets for the bandwaggon are still available
