HIP hop music is often a potent voice for those with difficult life experiences. In fact, this genre of music has been the saving grace of various marginalised communities throughout history. For Mark Navin Lourdes â known professionally as Mark Prosper â it has been no different as hip hop became an outlet for him to express his thoughts and individuality.
âWhat drew me to rapping was the need to voice out the struggles faced by my community. I felt rap was the perfect tool. And when I found out about the local rap scene, I was really into it.â
Although he had learned to make his rhymes and lyrics earlier, things only kicked off professionally after meeting his close friend Black Yoda in college.
âHe was producing beats back then and he wanted a rapper to rap for him. So, we formed a group, RMP Collective My and we started rapping.â
Aside from his group endeavours, Mark has also steadily been making his mark in the industry with his recent solo works.
