Pruven's "Stamina of Thought" LP is OUT NOW!

Today, Uncommon Records releases Pruven's long awaited LP Stamina of Thought.  With a sound that can best be described as quintessential hip hop, Pruven delivers thought-provoking, razor-sharp lyrics that just might cause folks to stop nodding their heads long enough to write an e-mail to their Congressman. The Connecticut-based emcee brings a soulful respect of hip hop’s heyday to the present-day scene, leaving listeners wondering why they haven't been listening to Pruven for years.

You can pick up Stamina of Thought at our Online Store, Itunes, Amazon or any other digital retailer worldwide.  For this first week we're also going to be giving away one of Pruven's songs for FREE exclusively in our online store, Repeated Questions.  Support the Hip-Hop you want to hear more of by checking out one of the links above!
