Not only has Prince Kaybee evolved as an artist, but he has no interest in making street music any more.
The DJ and music producer released his sixth studio album Music Theory on June 20.
“Thank you for giving my music a chance. I’m no longer an artist for the streets. I’m in a different space, a different time, street music is loud to me now, it makes loud noise and I feel I have betrayed the people I started with, but over time an artist will change. I appreciate you being with me in this journey,” he wrote.
