Most of the world has been unknowingly under Pro's influence since the 80's and remain addicted to his flavor and grooves. Pro got his start as Cap'n -Crunch in the 1985 seminal rap sensation Rated X. Rated X's album sales and ‘party-till-you-drop’ live shows caught the attention of hip hop ‘Generals’ such as Shock G (Digital Underground), Chuck D of Public Enemy (Flava Flav is Pro's cousin), and Paris, who sought Pro's talents for their projects as hip-hop continued its musical penetration into the marketplace. Cap'n Crunch shortened his moniker to C-Funk and went solo. In the midst of a successful solo career he produced tracks for Digital Underground (Tommy Boy), Public Enemy (Def Jam) and produced the highly successful Conscious Daughters (ScareFace).
His production lists reads like "who's who of hip-hop"; E-40, The Click, JT the Bigga Figga, Bloody-Mary, San Quinn, and Messy Marv. Even such sports luminaries as Ricky Walters (now retired NFL running back) have enlisted his services for their albums. In 1998, he was the youngest artist to be inducted in the Hip-Hop Hall of Fame & the San Francisco Hip-Hop museum.
In 2001, C-Funk changed his name to ProHoeZak and took his considerable talents to the next level. He has starred in an HBO feature film titled "Who Makes the Rules" (Sagg Films) and racked up production credits for Daz Dillinger, Kurupt, Kokane, Suga Free, Yukmouth, and Night Owl (P.
In 2003, Pro teamed up with the band Sugar Ray, as a writer and guest vocalist for "Mr. Bartender (It's So Easy)" on their fifth album, entitled In the Pursuit of Leisure. Impressed with the artist's versatility, style, and charisma, Sugar Ray's lead vocalist Mark McGrath invited Pro to tour with the band and appear in the video of "Mr. Bartender." Pro appeared on Good Morning America as well as The Jay Leno Show with the band.
In his current incarnation, Pro's sense of groove not only draws from the current and future sound, but packs enough 70's vibe to insure the preservation of the motion of hips worldwide. Blap Master is sure to get your hips moving. Visit iTunes today and get your copy.
