Biography

Born and raised in Inglewood, California, Arabian Prince released a solo album "Situation Hot" in 1985. In following year, Arabian Prince joined up with the first gangsta rap group N.W.A. three years after graduating Inglewood High School in Inglewood, CA. He wanted to be an artist in N.W.A. but when fellow member Ice Cube came back from Arizona University in 1988 he found himself as useless member because Eazy-E, Ice Cube and MC Ren (added two weeks before Arabian Prince left the group) were main performers in band, DJ Yella was useful as turntablist and Dr. Dre was mainly a producer. After leaving N.W.A., Arabian Prince continued a solo career. Wasting very little time, he dropped his second album "Brother Arab" in 1989. This album wasn't very successful so he started working with his second band Bobby Jimmy & the Critters. In 1990, his band released an albums like "The Best of Bobby Jimmy and the Critters" and "Hip Hop Prankster" under the K-Tel Records and Priority Records. In 1990, the band released "Erotic Psychotic" album which was the last album. Bobby Jimmy & the Critters were disbanded in 1991 (Same year when N.W.A. was disbanded). Arabian Prince continued solo career again and he released his third album "Where's My Bythces" in 1993 which was his last album.

Arabian Prince has reappeared producing video games for FOX Interactive and Vivendi Universal around the year 2000 and currently owns a 3D animation studio and Video Game Production company^{[citation needed]}. He recently started releasing music again with his Professor X project on the dutch label Clone records.
