Tasheem Harper, also known as Audacious Prince, was born April 2, 1990 in Bronx, New York. Growing up he's wasn't always into Hip-Hop. In fact, there was a point in his life where rap was forbidden from his house hold because the conflict it had with his parents religion. When Tasheem was 12, a close friend of his moved in with him and his family to complete his years as a high school student. His friend was very in-tuned with Hip-Hop and was a artist himself. Sometimes he would provide Tasheem with a few songs to inform him of what we call rap. Tasheem gained an interest in rap and become fond of an artist known as Fabolous (a rapper from Brooklyn, NY). Listening to it wasn't enough to satisfy his interest in rap music so at 16 Tasheem enrolled in a school in the Bronx called UAAHC. This school provided many electives. One of which taught students more about Hip-Hop and different techniques when you rhyme. Tasheem slowly began to grasp the idea of rapping and decided to take it to the next level. To advance his skill and alter his perception on the way he see's life, he attended a couple of poetry classes and searched several times a day for new vocabulary words. At the age of 18, Tasheem dropped out of high school and worked periodically in carpentry to make some money for clothes, food, etc. He began to realize how much of a struggle it was to try to survive in a job that wasn't promising and decided to work on his music full-time. Tasheem is now running a group called V.I.C.E and has released two mixtapes called "Eminent"http://www.datpiff.com/Ap-Eminent-mixtape.194358.html and "Last Resort"http://www.datpiff.com/AP-Last-Resort-mixtape.204544.html. His focus now is to keep making music that all people can enjoy and getting more exposure.
