They recorded and distributed their first mixtape, “The Arrival”, in 2003 and soon after went on to release their follow up “Broke Millionaires” in 2004. From there, P-CHA$E dropped his first solo mixtape “Hood Chronicles” in 2005 which sold over 2,000 copies and earned him an outstanding local buzz. In 2006, he recorded and released a full length album called “Journey Wit Me” which in Next Generation Magazine was proclaimed one of the best albums of the year and to ever come out of his region. “Journey Wit Me” created enough attention to ultimately get P-CHA$E a deal offer with Def Jam Records. Declining based on better judgments, he decided to continue on his career independently and went on to release his second solo mixtape in 2009 “The Workout” which was received by the streets with open arms. Currently P-CHA$E can be seen starring in 2 movies (“Sex Money U Already Know Pt 2” & “Love & Gunplay”) as well as touring the map and shaking the buildings & grounds of any place he steps foot in, delivering an outstanding live performance each & every time he has a chance to grace any stage. With an amazing ability to be able to attack any flow and make it his own, immaculate wordplay, non-diluted subject matter, a voice that commands your attention and a real story to tell with an honest view point that has become not-so-trendy these days, P-CHA$E is truly a breath of fresh air and will be around for a long time to come. With new videos out in heavy rotation in the virtual world and now after dropping his long awaited and highly anticipated mixtape ‘BETTER LATE THAN NEVER” at the top of 2012, the sky is the limit for hip hop’s rising star. Stay tuned for more to come with this rapidly rising artist. 39
