In episode 24 I talk to Blockhead and Open Mike Eagle about Prince Paul, an American record producer, disc jockey and recording artist from Amityville, New York. Paul began his career as a DJ for Stetsasonic. Since then he has worked on albums by Boogie Down Productions, Gravediggaz, MC Lyte, Big Daddy Kane and 3rd Bass, among others. Major recognition for Prince Paul came when he produced De La Soul’s debut album 3 Feet High and Rising, in which he pioneered new approaches to hip hop production, mixing and sampling, notably by including comedy sketches.
