Amante Da Prez

Definition: 1. A fresh breath to Hip-Hop, an escape from the norm, with smooth and clear vocals mixed with rhythmic blues and catchy hooks. 2. Hip-Hop’s Prezident.

“I never claimed Gangsta, I never claimed Thug, but for some reason them ni@$as showing me love.” This is a line from Amante’s song “Prezident’s Day” and pretty much summarizes Amante and his music. Amante is a street poet who writes and speaks about the struggles of the streets. Amante is the voice of the streets — speaking for the underdog — which is why he is labeled Da Prez, the peoples’ Prezident.

Amante was born in Pittsburgh to an African King and Queen and moved with his family to Atlanta at the age of three. Amante and his family moved from the Southside of Atlanta to the Eastside of Atlanta to the city of Lithonia, Georgia, where Amante grew to become a man. In addition, Amante also spent a lot of his life living in different countries. His African Heritage and his life in Eastside Atlanta and having lived in different parts of the world have all influenced his music to make him a well rounded artist.

Amante is a rare down south rapper, he has the lyrical ability of Nas, the swag of T.I., the smooth vocal and flow of Snoop, the heart of a lion, and a hustler’s ambition and grind. That being said, Amante is destined for greatness and it is a matter of time before he reaps the benefits from his hard work. Amante is determined, hungry, a student and fan of Hip-Hop. His musical influences include Al Green, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Marley, Tupac Shakur, Isley Brothers, Prince, Outkast, Tribe Called Quest, Nas, and many others.

Amante released his anticipated mixtape, Da Black House Vol. I: Inauguration of a Legend, on October 10, 2009 during BET Hip Hop Award Weekend in Atlanta, Ga and online. The mixtape is hosted by one of the South’s hottest DJs, DJ Teknikz, of Street Executives.

Through Redd Clayy Entertainment, Amante’s movement has already made an impact in the streets by making various appearances on mixtapes, radio, and shows. Amante Da Prez currenty has the streets buzzing with his single “Hands Itchin (Head Dance)” ft. Oj Da Juiceman. The single has already been aired on Atlanta’s two major urban radio stations, V 103 and Hot 107.9. “Hands Itchin” is also in heavy rotation at some of the hottest clubs in Atlanta. Amante’s plate is full with exclusive features lined up with various mix tape DJs across the country and overseas. Since 2006, Amante distributed over 20,000 CDs in Georgia, Mississippi, and Alabama.

Amante has performed along side many major recording artists such as Souljah Boy, D4L, DJ Unk, Killer Mike, Gorilla Zoe, Shop Boys, and many more.
