Pro. On the R&B-influenced track “All Night,” Darion Lance lends his smooth and sensual vocals to assist Pro in creating a track that’s favorable for women. “Still I Stand” features celebrity rap artist in Joe Scudda, a North Carolina native from Justus League. The last track on the mixtape, “Another Level,” features Executive Producer HusH introducing Pro to the awakened music industry that he just left his imprint on. “Harsh Reality” is currently available for free download on Pro’s official website, www.nickpromusic.com and on his soundcloud, www.soundcloud. com/nickpromusic. Stay up to date with the latest news on Pro and his “It’s my time to shine,” is one of the prominent lyrics from Pro’s first track on the mixtape, “Bandwagon,” and unbeknownst to Pro, this is also the theme of the album. With a diverse group of producers and eclectic beats, this mixtape has a wide appeal that will please different genres and demo graphics. Unlike others in the industry, Pro writes his own lyrics, allowing the album to touch on his personal side and invite the listener to not only get to know Pro, but to also hop along for the ride. A lyrical genius with original content puts Pro in a league of his own; a show stopper. Each track is distinctively different from the other but at the same time flows in a cohesive manner to create a full-length mixtape. Creativity and flow come natural for Pro who’s rhythm matches each song with its own power but rather complements the song than overpower it. From the Kanye West-inspired “Villain,” to the upbeat, late 80s/early 90s rap vibe of “Old School, New School,” Pro shows he’s a multi-talented artist that can dive into the dark and come out the other side with a new flavor. “Harsh Reality” offers two features on it; a first for
