“When Prowess gets a good soulful groove… you can tell she’s really feeling it and can really go in on the mic and make something special.”

“Fiercely independent rapper Prowess the Testament of the Delegation Music crew got her moniker from no less than KRS-One, and the array of DC rappers supporting her in the video for “Alpha Centauri”… certifies her as a rising power in the DC hip-hop community.”
Hometown Sounds DC on Alpha Centauri 2016-09-29

“Fiery, forthright verses.”

“To remove that compartmentalized thinking that separates art and science into separate vocabularies.”
WAMU Bandwidth on her intent for “Alpha Centauri”, on its video premiere 2016
From her representation
“Prowess’ artistic and diplomatic roots cultivated her natural gift as a performer sharing the stage with legends like The Wu-Tang Clan, KRS-One, Citizen Cope, Cody ChesnuTT, Pharoahe Monch, and more as an emerging presence in the indie hip hop scene.”
