Growing up in Ann Arbor, Michigan where the misconception is generally the “college town” city, 5-Week BET 106 and Park Freestyle Friday Champion, P.L., has impressed not only locals but industry heads with his punchline based flow and “attention grabbing, corner music”. After releasing a number of revered mixtapes within a 3 year period throughout Michigan and online (The Juice Series mixtapes 1-4) , P.L. teamed with the self-proclaimed “Detroit Mixtape General” DJ Young Mase for 2007’s “Without Warning” mixtape, one of the best projects of the year coming out of Michigan. In addition to introducing not only Michigan but the world to a new breed of skill that Michigan has to offer, the mixtape—along with likeminded recordings from Jim Jones and K-Deezy—played a major part in bringing a sense of fresh air, creativity, and overall hope for a movement back to the Michigan music scene. Still continuing the consitancy and quality material, P.L. recently released the second installment of the the “Without Warning” series, entitled “Without Warning Vol.2”. This has proved to set a unprecedented level of quality within P.L.’s area and even his state. Since the mixtape releases, P.L. has been busy, readying the release of his highly anticipated street album “The Chokehold”, performing in countless venues and concerts, promoting everyone for the debut of his hit single “On My Momma” and collaborating with an unprecedented amount of local and major recording artists in order to establish and solidify his name. This year alone, P.L. has collaborated D12 with Jim Jones on his Street Album, then traveled with Jim Jones, K-Deezy, Stretch Money, and Tone Tone on a 4 city promotional tour throughout Michigan: The Midwest Marauders Tour, he opened for Fabolous, MC Breed, Camron, Juelz Santana and headliner Lil Jon and The Eastside Boyz in Atlanta. P.L. has also found time in the past year to collaborate with Multi-Platinum Producer Needlz, who has produced “Piggybank and God Gave Me Style for 50 Cent and Let Me In for Young Buck”. P.L. recently partook in D12’s “Who Wanna Battle” rap battle and crushed the competition while grabbing the attention of D12 members Bizarre and Swifty Mcvey. As a result of P.L.’s overwhelming win, the two D12 members asked P.L. to guest appear on an upcoming D12 project due out soon. With all of the accomplishments under the “Punchline King’s” belt , he still continues to work at his music like nothing has happened. Be on the lookout for possibly one of Michigan’s Best Kept Secrets, P.L.
