Prozack Turner: The Re-Up

My Top 3

Prozack Turner knows how quickly things can change. When DreamWorks Records signed the Bay area native in 2002, he seemed destined for success. A generous advance and recording budget allowed him to bounce across the country to work with Pete Rock, Organized Noize, J Dilla, and the Alchemist. The production Dream Team helped Prozack craft Death, Taxes and Prozack, the album he thought would make him a star.

Prozack’s star suddenly dimmed when DreamWorks pulled an EPMD and put up an Out of Business sign in 2003. The label was sold to Universal Music Group, who declined to release Prozack’s album, leaving him broke and unemployed. Bills stacked so high, he used a fake voice to tell collectors, Zack is dead.
