Album Notes

Thomas "P.R.ism-Puerto Rican Ism" Cubas is an exceptionally talented performer/entertainer. He is a bi-lingual Hip-Hop rapper born and raised in Chicago. His sound is fresh and versatile, incorporating the best elements of Hip-Hop, Soul, Dancehall Reggae, and Reggaeton. P.R.ism hails from the Humboldt Park neighborhood, which is comprised of one of the largest Puerto Rican communities in the United States. It is the Chicago streets and its surroundings where P.R.ism gets inspiration for writing the powerful music that he does. Strong lyrics in his songs tackle all themes ranging from subjects such as: dealing with relationships, the hardships of growing up in the city, representing his Latino heritage (his name says it all), and all-out nightclub party music. P.R.ism is well known and respected in the hip-hop scene for his dedication and resilience. His live show is not to be missed. When it's his turn to take the stage, he delivers a burst of energy that one can't help but pay attention. He owns any stage that he's on and takes command of the audience every time. The shows are pre-programmed and coordinated with his live DJ, DJ Skor from Chicago. Together they get the venues amped with the energy. This energy is the one P.R.ism brings when he works as a host for several hip-hop events in Chicago. He hosted a Monday night hip-hop event at Club Big-Wig where there was a weekly open mic competition. He recently hosted an emcee battle competition at The Note Nightclub which was released as a DVD entitled Rhymespittaz. Recently, with the help of DJ Skor and The Bassment Music Store , P.R. ism released THE P.R.ISMIXX mix CD series that features work that he has compiled over the years. The CDs are a hit in the streets as they sold over 5,000 units independently. Look out for D.J. Skor and P.R.ism as they continue to bring fresh music!
