Grammy award winning producer Prince Paul has signed on to produce a special show for XM Satellite Radio called The Ill Out Show with Prince Paul, which will highlight classic tracks, interviews, rare outtakes and unreleased demos from the veteran artist.
In conjunction with The Room Service Group, XM will air the show on May 15th on XM's hip-hop channel, The Rhyme 65. Paul will also be joined by longtime partners in crime, Bimos, Newkirk, Buster, Nyce and the infamous Mr. Dead.
"I really look forward to bringing a different spin and having some fun on The Rhyme 65. I just want listeners to expect the unexpected," said Paul.
"Paul's career ranges from Stetsasonic to De La [Soul] to Handsome Boy Modeling School to Chris Rock. That type of longevity is rare if not impossible to find. The show is great and working with Paul is an honor," added Dion Summers, Senior Program Director of Urban Programming for XM Satellite Radio.
Prince Paul has an impressive resume under his belt. Starting out as a DJ for the first hip-hop band Stetsasonic, Paul became instrumental in exposing a group by the name of De La Soul, worked with Rza to form the short lived group The Gravediggaz and released two critically acclaimed records with Dan The Automator as the Handsome Boy Modeling School.
He also worked with Chris Rock to produce his comedy albums Bigger and Blacker and Never Scared, both of which won Paul Grammy awards.
"The Ill Out Show with Prince Paul" is will be recorded in XM's state of the art New York Facility, with the first show scheduled to air May 15th and will re-air several times each month.
