Humpday has never been blessed with a performance by an up and coming superstar until this past Wednesday. “It was really nice to hear a near artist and the performance was beasty, it’s great to see more Louisiana artist hitting the music scene,” said an avid humpday attendee. Five Entertainment /Rap-A-Lot Records recording artist Bulletproof aka Teflon drove six hours from Shreveport, La. to entertain the students of Prairie View A&M University.
Bulletproof performed his debut single “Hot Topic” produced by Phunk Dawg, the same beatsmith who produced the #1 hit single of the summer “Ay Bay Bay”.
Bulletproof grew up in a household where his family was very supportive of his dream of becoming a hip-hop superstar. Although Bulletproof’s father is a Preacher, he still supports his son’s dream. Bulletproof has been working hard in Shreveport’s underground music scene for many years. He built his name from winning many notable freestyle competitions in Shreveport.
He was first sought after by local powerhouse label Five Entertainment, which then led to a joint venture with Rap-A-Lot Records. Bulletproof was given his name by his late cousin who inspired him to perfect his writing skills. Bulletproofs’ steady work ethic eventually led to his record deal with Rap-A-Lot Records, one of the most notable record labels in Texas.
Bulletproof’s album is projected to be released in 2008. It covers many topics including politics and dealing with the everyday ups and downs of the music industry. When asked about how he describes his style Bulletproof said, “My style is real, raw and uncut.”
He already has collaborations lined up with Hurricane Chris and many of his Rap-A-Lot label-mates. Unlike many artists, Bulletproof doesn’t rely on
petty disputes with other artists in order to sell records. Instead he prefers to collaborate with many artists because collaborations bring out his true creativity.
Before his album drops, fans can check out Bulletproofs’ mixtapes with GO DJ’s Jack Frost and J-Boss. The mixtapes include exclusive freestyles and snippets from Bulletproofs’ upcoming album. With the sales of albums constantly decreasing Bulletproof, has no doubt that his new label will take the proper precautions to ensure that his album is not leaked to the internet. Rap-A-Lot Records has established a team of individuals who work to prevent
the illegal sale of all Rap-A-Lot Records releases.
With a legendary record label in his corner and a positive outlook on his career Bulletproof will definitely fulfill his dream of obtaining high record sales and many prestigious musical awards.
