HIP-HOP/RAP: Hip Hop, POP: Today''s Top 40
Details:
Profound Intent is an American Hip-Hop group with an R&B influence, responsible for introducing a new style of music called “Urban Crank”. The group was originally formed as a quartet in early 2006, their single “Play the Field” released in December 2006 served as a door opener for the group. It has been said that the group is a spin-off of a pre-teen Hip Hop quintet “Young Crowd” which featured Mizz Redz and LaPret which formed as “The Platinum Kids” in 1999. LaPret is also nicknamed “The Platinum Kid”.
Today, the Washington, D.C. native group is a trio comprised of original members, Kie’Arra “Mizz Redz” Pretlow (18), Devan “Aze” Brockenberry (16) and Rapper-Songwriter Larry “LaPret” Pretlow II (18). Taking on the role of a family act, Mizz Redz is the biological niece of LaPret; the two are often mistaken for “twins” due to their overwhelming resemblance in personality and appearance. The two were also born the same year with Mizz Redz on April 27th and LaPret on June 19th.
Profound Intent is a positive Hip-Hop group geared towards setting positive trends and morals for today’s youth. The group was formed by LaPret with Mizz Redz becoming the last original member to join after the group briefly performed as a trio featuring LaPret, Aze (formerly Lil’Ace) and the group’s former Female Vocalist Jahnae “Misty” Johnson.
Their first single release “Play the Field” is the only – released - recording which features all four original members. The group had expressed a deep dislike for the single due to its “shaky vocals” and “an unorganized line-up of the members”. The single eventually became a narration of the groups’ split from Johnson and her Uncle (as manager) in December 2006.
Previously, their mid-2006 performance (as a trio) of an unrecorded single called “Time 2 Shine” made headlines around the world when the single was mistaken for a slam at industry heavyweights Beyonce Knowles and Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson. By October 2006, this sparked the – year and a half - bashing of the group on popular message boards, radio stations and Wikipedia. During this devastating time Kie’Arra “Mizz Redz” Pretlow began appearing with the group as its fourth original member. Pretlow appeared with the group in a July 2006 photo with singer Kelly Price alongside Misty and LaPret as Profound Intent, but mysteriously nothing further until the release of “Play the Field” in November 2006.
The departure of Misty eventually led to a 14-month hiatus. The trio took this time to regroup after a replacement for Johnson was dismissed from the group in March 2007 after being officially named in the On Tap Magazine article which highlighted “Play the Field” and “Time 2 Shine”. The group also recorded with their friend Shanice Cooper and newcomer Russell “Rakiem/Roc” Tolson.
The 2007 singles “Let’s Get Krunk” and “Work It” leaked beforehand and received a positive response, however the group encountered many challenges maintaining as a quintet. Cooper and Tolson were identified as “contest winners” and fans were told they were never official members of the group. They were greatly criticized for not making Shanice Cooper the new Female Vocalist. Today Cooper, LaPret and Mizz Redz remain close friends. In 2008 Cooper appeared on LaPret’s single “Make U See”.
“Get 2 Know Us” is an exclusive release from the group under their new label “South Capitol Recordings”, which features the all-new singles “Swerve” (produced by Kajmir Royale) and “Street Talk” (produced by Mart85 Productions). The release also features an A Capella Edit of “Swerve” and the “Street Talk” (Radio Edit). Both singles were written by Rapper-Songwriter LaPret. “Swerve” also serves as an official anthem of The Yet Society, a nonprofit founded by LaPret.
