Chicago rapper ProbCause was raised in a recording studio under the wings of his older brother and reputed sound engineer Matt Grimm. Releasing his first album "Weeknights" at the age of 15, Prob immediately gained a cult following for his catchy-conceptual music. Since then, ProbCause has consistently released quality projects [...]Last August for Chicago's finale summer concert, the North Coast Music Festival, over a thousand musicians competed for a place in the line up. After three rounds of voting, ProbCause and two other bands prevailed and were named "Toast of the Coast", earning them the opportunity of a lifetime.... WHHAAAAAAATTTT. Thats baller right there. And Prob did not disappoint festival goers. From the time of the festival till now ProbCause has been one of most successful viral artists coming out of the Chi, propelled by a savvy managing agency (better call up and book The Cause now!). And here we are in 2011. With his most recent mixtape, Spring Cleaning, ripping through the interwebz, Prob was recently asked to go on tour with notorious Chicago Rapper, Twista in March and wildly popular electronic DJ, Steve Aoki in April.

The upcoming E.P. Stir Fry, slated for release this month, is praised as a diverse blend of hip-hop, dubstep, electronic and R&B that showcases Prob's ability to organically combine genres and create a cohesive sound at the same time. Below is "Gotta Know", the first single of Stir Fry
