Since 1983 Def Jam has been the label that is responsible for breaking Run-D.M.C., a young LL Cool J, Public Enemy and artists that have kept Hip-Hop real, like BEAU YOUNG PRINCE. This Def Jam artist is a product of Washington, D.C., making music that echoes the jazz, hip-hop, and go-go music there. BYP does not rest on rapping either. He is also a singer, and classically trained bassist, who takes listeners to new places with his rich and creative tracks.

When you hear his music, he could be singing about love, or about some of the finest “Cheeb” you can score. Beau has a versatile style that has landed him collaborations with U.K., and New York artists to more than 18 million song streams. Young Prince also draws comparisons to artists like KiD CuDi because of his ability to switch with ease from singing to rapping, and then back again.

Recently, this swaggerific artist lent his dope vision to Spiderman. Entering into new territory for comic book movie soundtracks, Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse brings young Hip-Hop stars into the narrative of a superhero’s soundtrack. Alongside artists Nicki Minaj, Swae Lee, and Post Malone on this album, Beau Young Prince supports the narrative of Spiderman’s leading character Miles on the track, LET GO. On the tail of his latest successes, Beau Young Prince is making himself more known to us on the latest episode of Beyond the Barricade.

This series by UMUSIC Experience follows BYP in the streets of Denver before he takes us on a journey through music in a sunny, rooftop show. While we traverse the streets of Denver with him, Beau Young Prince discusses the origins of his name, his sound, and lets us see his “Groovy” personality with a visit to a local dispensary and more.

Take a look Beyond the Barricade and get the word from straight from the source.
