Emo Rap from PrinceIce85

Born and raised in the state of Maryland, rapper PrinceIce85 draws on his musical upbringing performing in his local church choir to weave a unique melodic flair into his sound. This influence , along with his experimentation with hip hop and emo rap results in his own brand of piquant R&B pop.

Combining the clever wordplay of a rap song with the soulful matter typically expressed in R&B he attributes his creative vision and writing panache to music always being a significant component of his life.

Now he returns with his latest single, entitled “Drunk Texting”. Produced by ULTRA64, the song begins with an emotive piano melody taking the dominant lead before it quickly switches pace, as trappy bass beats and the artist’s velvety vocals pack a mighty and unexpected punch.

Alternating between singing melodic lines and dropping bars, PrinceIce85 boasts an equally impressive talent in both areas, as his killer chorus and clever lyricism tell the tale of unrequited love.

Commenting on the track, he shares, “Drunk Texting is a song that speaks the most about me over the other songs I have released, written, and recorded over my short time as an artist.”

Adding, “The act of texting someone you are interested in that doesn’t want you back while under the influence of alcohol is something I have done more than once in my life and finally creating a song about the topic I know will connect with others out there who have experienced the same thing.”

“Drunk Texting” offers an infectious and irresistible sound, painfully relatable, it’s sure to resonate with those who have gone or are going through relationship complexities. With his new track, PrinceIce85 has perfectly executed his emotions into a bouncy bout of R&B, laying out his vulnerabilities in a catchy hip hop jam.
