IN YA FACE RECORDS NEW ARTIST: PROHOEZAK


In Ya Face Records has been on a visibility campaign for the last several months which has included pit stops at some of the major DJ conventions. The stops included the Bum Squad DJ conference in Los Angeles, The Core DJ conference in Dallas, TJ DJ's and Ozone Awards in Miami, and The Magic Retreat in Las Vegas. In Ya Face has impacted over 1000 of the hottest dj's in the country. With artist like Prohoezak, Big Work, Holly Rae, and Sonny Black, In Ya Face Records will impact the music industry in 2008.

First artist out of the blocks will be Prohoezak. His single "24's Shinin" is impacting radio now. Prohoezak is an incredible producer/artist/entertainment who has impacted the music industry over the last decade. His production lists reads like "who's who of hip-hop"; E-40 (Jive), The Click (Jive), JT the Bigga Figga (Get Low), Bloody-Mary (Death Row), San Quinn (Get Low) and Messy Marv (Get Low). Even such sports luminaries as Ricky Walters (now retired NFL running back) & Delta O'Neal (NFL cornerback) 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 (Deathrow), Kurupt (Deathrow), Kokane (Doggystyle), Suga Free (Atlantic), Yukmouth (Rap-A-Lot) and Night Owl (Priority).

In 2003, !ProHoeZak? teamed up with the "SugarRay" band, as a writer and guest vocalist for "Mr. Bartender (It's So Easy)" on their 5th album titled "In the Pursuit of Leisure." Impressed with the artist's versatility, style, and charisma, SugarRay's lead vocalist Mark McGrath invited !ProHoeZak? to tour with the band and appear in the video of "Mr. Bartender." Courteously of SugarRay, !ProHoeZak? appeared on the Good Morning America show as well as the Jay Leno show where he performed on both shows with SugarRay.

In 2005, !ProHoeZak? retained the management services of Cwood56; Athlete and Entertainer Management and Marketing, LLC. In 2006 he landed a recording deal with In Ya Face Records, a South San Francisco, California 'Bay-Area' 'PowerHouse' Independent Record Label and a distribution deal with Universal Fontana.

In his current incarnation, !ProHoeZak?'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.
