Born DiJon Finney on February 20th in Aurora,Illinois. Prestigiouz AKA Prestige AKA Pres arrived with a gift of wordplay, the hunger, and an uncanny vision. Prestigiouz first started to rhyme at age (12) twelve and by age (16) sixteen had recorded a professional studio mastered demo that had sparked a regional buzz throughout VA/NC but no record deal followed.Years passed and the hopes of becoming a major hip hop star fading Prestigiouz joined the military. While in the military Prestigiouz continued to write and recite rhymes among st fellow soldiers garnering appraises from his peers. Encouraged by all the accolades received, Prestigiouz and the U.S. Army partied ways. After a (7) seven years hiatus, Prestigiouz returned back to the booth. More determined Prestigiouz released the highly anticipated underground debut album"THE MOST HATED" in 2004 followed by "THE HATED II EP" (2008) & (2) classic mixtapes "THE PACKAGE" (2006) & "A CLOSED MOUTH DON'T GET FAYETTE" (2010) selling 3,500 copies/units combined nationwide (almost inconceivably). Currently Prestigiouz is working diligently on his latest project "INDUSTRY READY... THE PRESTIGIOUZ LP"..
