Ras Judea S. Hosang - Yisrael, native of Jamaica, started singing

professionally at a very young age. He began singing at the church

that he and his grandparents attended. His love for reggae music

became the driving force for the pursuit of a career in the

entertainment industry.

Throughout his career, social awareness issues became paramount

in this venture. The style that O.B.P. (Original Black Panther) has

developed would often times be considered as Sing - Jay. Artists

that inspired him include, Bob Marley, Steele Pulse, Black Uhuru,

Aswad, Black Slate, D J's like Shabba Ranks, and rappers like

Ludacris. The Isley Brothers also inspired him from the R&B aspect

of music.

He has opened shows for the likes of Shabba Ranks, Eddie Griffin,

The group called After 7 and King Sunny Ade from Nigeria, Africa.

He has also had WEDR 99 Jams Cheryl Mizelle state, On behalf of

PG. 2

He's currently working on completing his debut album and has

completed the music video for his first single entitled 'I am a

Buffalo Soldier' which has been aiared several times on Rhythm

City, a Brighthouse sponsored TV program which is geared to

exposing new talent. His intent musically while learning his guitar

is to express tht internal beauty through the art and sound of his

melancholy, bluesy style.

If you were to ask O.B.P. where he would rather perform? His

response would be to perform on the college circuits, for he feels

it serves as a good medium for communication about the life of

Rastafari. He feels the youths of today are the future.

So look forward to the ep titled " MY Stage Name Is MC-OBP "
