Determined to make 2023 his best year yet, Virginia wordsmith turned entrepreneur Prince Marley connects with Boosie Badazz for "Started From The Bottom." Co-produced by Laphelle and mixed by Nick Jacobs, the latest release from the burgeoning Hip-Hop act details his ongoing journey to greatness.

In an exclusive press statement to Medium Creative Agency, Prince Marley explains how the record came was crafted: "I was in the studio and it kinda just came to me. I wanted to create something original, that didn’t sound like everything else. Coming from the gutter and trying to make a way for my family is a narrative anybody from any hood can relate to."

Born in Brooklyn and raised in VA, Prince Marley started rapping as a way to paint pictures of his real-life experiences without a traditional canvas. His networking skills and admirable ambition lead to a fruitful collaboration titled "Step Ya Game Up," with LOX frontman Jadakiss, housed on his Don Cannon-hosted mixtape 'My Overnight Idea.' After a short setback due to incarceration, Marley came home and hit the ground running. His first order of business was starting a record label in the city of Roanoke to help other artists while fueling his career. In 2019, he released his 'No Love Lost' project featuring the standout track ā€œOccupationā€ which currently has over 150K+ views on YouTube.
