About
Prof in Concert
A self-made rapper from Minnesota, Prof is a furious force on stage in the mold of Great Lakes microphone greats who came before him. With the introspection of Brother Ali and the off-kilter flow of Atmosphere's Slug, Prof has come a long way from his infamous "drunk shows" for college crowds at Minneapolis' Dinkeytowner Bar a decade ago. He's an upbeat hip-hop staple at festivals (including his own Prof Outdoors) and always a physical presence on stage. So much so, the rapper has undergone back and knee surgeries to patch up the body he sacrificed time and again for the sheer entertainment of his fans, yet he still refuses to let injuries alter his live persona. At 2018's Soundset Festival, Prof closed his set with the Waka Flocka Flame-featured "Apesh*t," crowd-surfing on a gigantic pink flamingo, rapping "Apesh*t! Break your neck! Break your spine!" while raining money into the elated crowd.
Prof Background
Born and raised in Minneapolis, Prof (né Jake Anderson) has positioned himself as the heir apparent to the storied Minnesota rap throne. The 34-year-old started the Stophouse Music Group label, where he released his early work, including 2007's debut ‘Project Gampo,' establishing his quasi-comedy rap alter ego, Gampo. Prof quickly built a relationship with the stalwart Rhymesayers Entertainment label, collaborating on the Welcome to Minnesota tour in 2010, before signing with Rhymesayers in 2013 and releasing his breakthrough album, ‘Liability.' With features from Strange Music boss Tech N9ne, Petey Pablo, and Waka Flocka Flame, ‘Liability' even cracked the Billboard 200. On 2018's ‘Pookie Baby,' Prof took a more personal creative leap, opening himself up with visceral singing alongside his brain-stopping rhymes. He features Ashley DuBose, The Voice Season 5 contestant and fellow Minneapolis native, on the tenderhearted "Be Around," and he can still throw it back to the Gampo days on the tongue-in-cheek "Andre The Giant."

by Pookie on 10/11/23Knitting Factory - Spokane - SpokaneHe has out performed every other concert except Dave Mathews. He has energy a great vibe and his songs all have that want to have a good time feel. It's a shame no one has promoted Prof to a higher degree. Prof is at another level.

by Tyler MF Flores on 9/25/23191 Toole - Tucson191 Toole is a rinky dink, little venue with pillars that run through the middle of it. But Prof packed it out, and made it feel like a party. The openers were amazing I got 2 new rappers to watch out for. And the best memories of this show. Going to see Prof is now a tradition for me, and I'm beyond excited that next year he will be at a bigger venue.

Rating: 5 out of 5 A most solid performance
by Mal on 9/23/23The Van Buren - PhoenixFirst of all, The Van Buren is amazing. Just the right amount of space and minimal lines for bathrooms, drinks, merch. Made the performance even more amazing, but Prof? Prof is an absolutely phenomenal performer. Not only the music, but the energy he puts out on stage, the fun he has, it emanates through the venue and is always, always memorable.

by Smash0ner520 on 9/22/23191 Toole - TucsonThe show was fan-freaking-tastic!!! I absolutely love seeing PROF live!!! It’s my 3rd time! I love how it’s not an outrageous price to see him too!! The venue was a bit stuffy and super hot (it’s on the smaller size) but loads of fun! We left still feeling the hype! PROF really knows how to move the crowd! Thank you and until next time Pookie!

by Nijiah on 9/22/23191 Toole - TucsonSo, the show got moved up from 8pm to 7:30 WHICH WAS CRAZY because Prof didn’t come out until 10:03pm not that I was counting because I’m 37 and had worked all day, and my back and my legs were killing me because I had been standing there waiting since 7pm. My group and I were literally talking about leaving because all of us were tired af and unwell having been up since 5:30am. Show was great. I wish there was a way I could just go see him again, minus the two and a half hours of extra stuff. Prof puts on a great show, can’t wait to see him next time! Perhaps I’ll take the day off to ensure I don’t die.

by ginabina6 on 9/17/23Delmar Hall - Saint LouisThis venue is small and intimate next to a larger capacity venue. Prof himself put on a fantastic show. He was engaged, hyped, happy to be performing, and brought 100%. 10/10 recommend seeing him life again.

by Krys on 9/17/23Delmar Hall - Saint LouisSaw Prof at Delmar Hall and it was perfect! The size of the venue isn't so small you're crammed like sardines but it's not so big you can't see the stage. No matter where you are you have a clear view of the stage!
