DJ Fishr Pryce: this ain’t no children’s game.



Mess with a cat in the jungle and you may get scratched. But if the cat has 2 turntables and a mixer you just might like it. Enter Texas born Party Rocker DJ Fishr Pryce. With a mission statement like “I have pride, I have power, I’m a bad ass mutha who don’t take no crap from nobody” you get the sense that when it comes to his craft Fishr plays no games.



Fishr is a student of hip hop. His knowledge of the musical side of hip hop stretches as far back as the mid and late 80’s. He was a sponge, absorbing everything he heard. It was clear, this would be a part of his life for a long time to come. Hip hop culture is infectious, inviting everyone who experiences it to participate in some way. When Fishr decided he wanted in, he was only following the natural order of things. The question was how? He’s admittedly not that stellar an artist, so graf writing was out of the question. Breaking is definitely an art. It may even be loosely on par with a martial art in the discipline required to be a top notch dancer. Without the proper coordination and natural skill you probably won’t excel at it. Fishr tried for mulled dancing over for a bit and came to the conclusion that it wasn’t the best fit. Rapping? Much the same story. One thing Fishr did have going for him was a sharp memory. He remembered all the songs he heard. He noticed the samples started popping up in the soul and R&B music his dad listened to. It compelled him. He began to understand more about the hip hop records he loved. It wasn’t until he saw DJ greats like Jazzy Jeff and Qbert in action. He wanted to be like them. Their control over those instruments astonished him. With that he began DJing seriously.



The next thing was to pick an official moniker for himself. When the Dallas representative made his first practice mixtape he jokingly called it “DJ Fisher Price’s My 1st Mixtape”. The name stuck and years later his accomplishments are proof that he was born for this.



Besides being the official DJ for rapper iCON the Mic King, Fishr is a founding member of reputable DJ outfit, Los Hip Hop Guys. He’s also a part of the Instinct crew whose products are a strong fixure on Crooklyn Clan’s crack4djs website. He’s played with and opened for a who’s who of talent from Aesop Rock, Mr. Lif, DJ P, Dos Noun to C Rayz Walz, Z-Trip, Qwel, Mr. Dibbs, of course iCON and many others.



It doesn’t stop there for DJ Fishr Pryce. The future will see more touring, more mixtapes, podcasts regularly available at djmarvel.podmatic.com as well as a brand new website (www.instinctdjs.com) that will keep everyone up to speed with the latest developments in DJ Fishr Pryce’s play for world domination: “I’ve got to go through life knowing that I did all I could to make my dream of making it a reality. Whether it happens or not I want to know I did what I could”. You heard the man.
