Prof

Prof—born Jacob Lukas Anderson in 1984—has carved a singular lane as a Minneapolis-based rapper, singer, and producer. He first commanded attention with Project Gampo (2007), his debut full-length, and steadily built a catalog rooted in irreverent wordplay, self-mythology, and a live-show reputation that became central to his identity. In 2012, City Pages affirmed his standing by placing him on their list of Minnesota’s 20 best rappers, a recognition that aligned with his growing national presence. During this era, he was signed to Rhymesayers Entertainment, a key affiliation in the independent rap ecosystem.

The geography of his work runs deep. Albums like King Gampo (2011) and Powderhorn Suites (2020) show a songwriter fond of place and persona, while Pookie Baby (2018) brought a more emotionally exposed—though still unruly—strain of his music to the fore. Live From Powderhorn Suites (2021) documented that on-stage charge. By the time of Horse (2023) and Good Time Boy (2026), Prof had long demonstrated a stubborn, self-owned path: a rapper who balances raucous charm with careful craft, and who keeps moving regardless of label circumstances.
