Professor P & DJ Akilles – #1 (Official Video)

maj 18th 2012 No Responses

This is how Rikard Lindberg, director of the video, describes the video:

”People are struggling with the constant need to maintain different facades and not being good enough. To find happiness or to find the right one is not everyone’s destiny. In the video this is narrated by a successful yet unhappy photographer who do not seem to lack anything, during the day a creator surrounded by beauty and money, during the night miserable and destructive. He lacks the right person in his life – the ”#1″.

Assistent Director: Joakim Berglund

Professor P & DJ Akilles feat. Adam Tensta & Rigael Damar – Keep Doing It (Official Video)

april 2nd 2012 No Responses

When Mårten suggested the concept, we immediately felt it was an interesting angle. The Idea is strong and in many ways differs from the preconceptions some may have about hip hop videos. The video’s serious tone is really what makes it playful. We are proud of the result and hope people will like it, even though we’ll probably only watch it once. Why? You will know when you have watched it…

Director: Mårten Lindsjö
Producer: Nina Isaksson

The Release Party Recap!

mars 26th 2012 No Responses

Wednesday. March 21st. I don’t know about Ak, but i woke up nervous as hell. It’s like that when you have been working on something a long time and it’s finally time to share it with the world. A visit at the local radio morning show (P4 Uppland) was the first thing to cross off the agenda. And so we did. We chatted for a while and played ”Keep Doing It” live in the studio. Great way to start the day!

After putting in a couple ”office” hours, it was time to pack all of Ak’s equipment (It’s easy to be an emcee, all i need is a mic, it’s worse for the DJ’s…) and get down to 19. What a night! The venue was packed with friends and family and the vibe was great. We are stunned by the feedback we’ve gotten this far. Big up to DJ Large for the record spinnin’.

Thursday. March 22nd. Off to Stockholm and another radio show. This time ”En kärleksattack på svensk hiphop” with Ametist at SR Metropol. We had a good time, played ”Spellbound (L-Town)” live in the studio and we had a little freestyle-session. I wasn’t really satisfied with that part but fuck it, can’t be on point all the time.

Unfortunately we don’t have any pics from the Stockholm releaseparty. We are doing our best to locate some. It started of kinda slow but the live show was dope. Thank’s alot to everyone who stopped by! We appreciate the support!

Friday. Gothenburg. March 23rd. We did a ”invitations-only” show in a streetwear store called Shelta. The vibe was chill, we hung out with our peeps, drank a couple of beers and did a laid back (not too laid back though…) show! Again, we appreciate the love!

After the Shelta release we had an afterparty just across the street at a place called ”Publik”. Great venue but the music was low as hell. Ak and our friend DJ Jucee did their thing on the ones and two’s!

Saturday. March 24th. Lund, or as I call it, L-Town and the fourth and final release party. I was extremely nervous before opening the doors due to the fact this is kinda where I started my career. And I think Ak felt the same way, he’s just a little cooler than I am. But damn, we had a fantastic night. Since this was our final show before heading home we went all in and ended up, overwhelmed by emotions, having a long conversation at my parents dinner table while stuffing our faces with falafel. A great finish to a great evening!

Monday. Before heading home today, we stopped by Din Gata 100,6 morning show and hung out with Danina and DJ Juan Havana. Played two tracks live there aswell. You can listen to it here.

Last but not least we like to thank everyone for listening, all the kind words and supporting our music! You are the shit. Period.

All the best!
/Pro P

By the way, Ak says hello!

‘The Realism’ is out now!

mars 21st 2012 One Response

March 21st. The day has finally come. The Realism is here.

We have put our entire hearts and souls into this record and we hope it transcends through the speakers. For us, The Realism, is about dreaming. Dreaming realistically, knowing the dream might never become our reality.

We want to take this time to thank all our friends who in some way were involved in this project. We cannot thank you enough.

But most of all, even though most of you haven’t heard the record yet, we would like to thank all of YOU for listening and giving us the energy we need to keep going. We are forever grateful.

If you like the record, spread it as much as you can. Let the world know!

Under the section The Realism you can read more about the people who have been involved in the making of the album.

”The rap path is a lonely road, but we’re down to die a sudden death to reach our golden goal”
