GEMINI PORTRAIT : MR PROBZ (@MrProbz)

Mr Probz, pour ceux qui ne le connaissent pas encore, est un artiste à part. Il chante (bien), rappe (bien), compose (bien). Faits plutôt rares qui suffisent à s'intéresser au bonhomme. 
Mr Probz est originaire des Pays Bas, et rappe aussi bien en anglais qu'en néerlandais. 
Il s’est fait découvrir en 2006 avec son crew Most Official et a depuis enchainé les collaborations. Joe Budden, Raekwon, Royce da 5’9, Killah Priest ou encore Grafh ont déjà fait appel à lui pour son talent de chanteur/MC sur quelques uns de leurs morceaux. 
On peut dire aussi que Mr. Probz revient de loin. En 2010 il échappe de peu à la mort, lors d’une fusillade à Amsterdam. A présent remis sur pieds, il prépare actuellement la sortie de son EP The Treatment pour courant 2011, et il a par ailleurs choisi l’anglais pour ce projet. 
Coté son, Mr Probz nous a laché de très bons titres ces derniers temps dont 'Who Are You' 'Get My Props', 'Drivin' et son dernier "Hate you" (Prod by Beat Butcha) que voici :
