Protege

Protege Bio:

Protégé also known as Monte Cristo resides in Long Beach, CA were many successful artists originated from, including Snoop Dogg, Nate Dogg, Warren G and many others. Protégé got into Hip-Hop when he was 8 years old by composing meaningless little poems which would later on in life blossom into a well formatted style of rappin'.
Being a committed Mc for over 5 years now, he decided to put together a project which would contain witty lyrical content over hot all original non-sampled beats with a touch of deep poetry. This album was titled "RETALIATION" because it is Protégé's way of retaliating against all of the nonsense that has been surrounding him like enemies,
cowards, wannabee's, cops and effortless rappers. This CD covers many issues from first hand experience of beef's & drug trafficking to revenge and incarceration as well as many other touching subjects. Protégé is also a member of MUSICIANS UNION and THE INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY OF POETS which happened to award him with a silver trophy for "Outstanding Achievement in Poetry" in August of 2003. So far this album has been receiving positive feedback, one of the critiques we came across stated

"This has to be one of the best Underground Rap albums to come from the west coast,
waiting to be discovered", says Mike Hamilton from TAXI A&R STAFF.

Further more companies such as 5 Star Entertainment and J Records had nothing but the best responses to give about this masterpiece.

"If I had to rate his work 1 being bad and 10 being excellent, I would give it an 11!" said Sharon Patrowski at
Brent Music Management.

Protégé told us "I put a lot of work into this Album, about 8 months worth of work and sh*t I did everything myself from the production and engineering to the recording, writing and performance, the mastering and post-production was done by DISCMAKERS". Well overall this album is a groundbreaking accomplishment that can be played all the way thru without having to skip any tracks, which will surely gain the recognition that it deserves from its listeners all around the world.
