The story goes that New Orleans native Baby Boy da Prince penned the verses for his first album in a FEMA trailer in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Thanks to the irresistible backstory, abundant industry buzz, and heavy rotation for Prince's lead single "The Way I Live," the young MC's debut release, ACROSS THE WATER, is sure to turn heads. With a more modest approach and upbeat flow, Prince's sound sets him apart from most of his fellow New Orleans artists. ACROSS THE WATER also benefits from the guest work of Mannie Fresh, Nina Sky, Dappa, Marty Bee, and Lil Hidda. minimize
