Prophet Jones is a four-member r&b/hip-hop out of New York City. Founders Hollywood and Goldee are originally from DC, but just after arriving to NYC they found members KD from Baltimore and P. Rowe from Florida.  The group's self-titled debut has old school class with cross-generational appeal. Songs on the disc range from sexual raps, ballads to an excellent remake of The O'jay's "Cry Together" to programmed synth sounds that unleash into  bouncy, hip-hop party tracks. Prophet Jones also pay tribute to Stevie Wonder, covering the classic "All I Do," and remaking into a sexual ode, with a adapted chorus hook - "All I Do, is think about sexin' you."
