Bio
A.P first came on the scene in 2006. However music has always been apart of him. A.P directed his
church choir from age 12 to 18. A.P also played baseball, basketball, football, and ran track in high
school. A.P would earn a scholarship for basketball to Holmes Community College in Goodman,
MS. This is where A.P started to express himself lyrically; during basketball trips and barbecues
A.P was the center of attention. Many People expressed to him that he had a gift, yet A.P had other
talents that took precedent over rapping. A.P then pursued his basketball college career at
Jackson State University in Jackson MS. This is where A.P met up long time friend and cousin Chris
Saine. They would get together on Friday nights and freestyle for hours.Finally on a car trip to
Memphis, TN in 2005. Chris "Yung Tenna-C" Saine said "Hey main we need to gone do this music".
Tenna-C and A.P went through many names for the company but finally decided on Parker Road
Entertainment. Parker Road is the name of the Street in Memphis,TN (West Junction or Walker
Holmes) A.P and Tenna-C grow up on. February 8,2007 Parker Road became official; a date A.P
says he well never forget. Parker Road Entertainment 1st Release will be A.P's Green Light Project.
The Green Light Project was Produced and mixed by A.P. A.P is also the
C.E.O and President of Parker Road Entertainment. The Parker Road Logo,
website and other accomplishments are contributed to the
hard work and determination of it's C.E.O and The Executive Staff.
"A.P.'s Take on Parker Road"
A.P : I believe that Parker Road is an Success, No we have not sold one
album or an article of clothing, but what we have done is turned our dream into
an reality and in my book that is success. Now our continued success will be
determined by a strong & smart work ethnic. I believe that if you work hard &
smart good things will happen. With that said! I put Parker Road up against
any label or myself up against anyone in the game. Am I saying Parker
Road is the best label in the game or I'm the best rapper in the game by no
means; but no Label or rapper will out work Parker Road as long as I'm
breathing God's good air.
A.P.'S NEW ALBUM WILL DROP Late 2008 or Early 2009

A.P. review by timstaumpposted: July 2008A.P.'s "Greenlight Project," had some creative moments, touching lyrics, and memorable beats. Track one started out with some jazzy brass, violins, and a deep thud in the bass. It worked really well at first, but as the song progressed, the words seemed to get swallowed up in the beats. There was just too much going on all at once. The pizzicato in the violins was a bit over baring throughout the song. Track two also had some great beats that really grabbed you from the beginning. The beat that got you wanting to dance was on track four. It had the most catchy chorus in the whole album, and the beat went right along with the hook. Track five was the best song on the album by far! The message was impacting and the listener could feel that it came from the heart. It had all the elements to a great song. It was passionate, it had a hook, and it was relatible. Track nine also shared all of those elements, and the beat that was chosen for this song worked perfectly. What makes these songs that much better is that A.P.'s voice has an original timbre to it, and the listener can hear his love for this music in every song. Everyone who is a hip hop fan is encouraged to listen and learn from A.P's music. On a more personal note, a little shout out to A.P. for his determined support for Staump.com. We thank you for your art and for sharing it with us on Staump.com! |
