Prof with Grip, Norman Scann and Willie Wonka

Sep 27

With lyrical skill matched only by his raucous live shows, Prof has arrived on the national stage. Coming out of Minneapolis, Prof has perfected the art of combining blue collar hard work and unimpeachable content while never taking himself too seriously.
Grip has been called Atlanta’s Next Great Storyteller, and the name couldn’t be more fitting. Grip has consistently carved a niche for himself within Hip-Hop, starting with his breakout project in 2017, where the East Atlanta native first planted the seed of being known for unclassifiable game-changing music.
From an early age Norman Sann has had a shine. The backdrop of his beginnings is all too normal these days, but Norman was built differently. Norman Sanchez was born in Houston, Texas to a single mother. His father was serving time in jail and his older brothers were busy making moves in the street. For Norman, the music called louder than the streets. Norman’s mother, despite struggles, sought to enroll Norman in acting classes and spent her time introducing him to all creative cultures. He was quickly enamoured with music. The storytelling of country music spoke to him, the passion in gospel fed his soul, and the rhythmic melodies of hiphop, jazz, latin, dubstep, and 80’s synth-pop worked to guide the beat of his heart.
