Jersey Watch Discovery: North Jersey Artist Lance Prince Blends Hip-Hop and Electronic Sounds on 'Obsession'

New Sounds From Lance Prince: Obsession

Written by Terrance Stone

New Jersey's independent music scene continues to introduce artists experimenting with new sounds, and North Jersey artist Lance Prince is carving out his own space with his latest single, Obsession.

Blending hip-hop, alternative influences, and electronic production, Prince represents a new generation of artists expanding beyond traditional rap music. His journey extends beyond recording. According to his artist portfolio, Prince has headlined four sold-out shows across New Jersey, including two independently produced events. He's also developed a growing digital audience while taking a hands-on approach to recording, engineering, and promoting his music.

Our Take on 'Obsession'

During our listen, Obsession immediately stood out for its techno-inspired production blended with modern hip-hop elements. The record carries an energetic, electronic atmosphere while maintaining a melodic approach that feels familiar to today's evolving hip-hop landscape.

There's a noticeable influence reminiscent of artists like Playboi Carti, with slight touches of Drake's melodic approach, but Prince does a good job bringing those different elements together without losing his own direction. What makes the record interesting is how naturally the two styles blend. Rather than staying within one genre, Prince experiments with sounds that reflect where modern hip-hop is heading.

Between his growing independent career, live performances, and willingness to experiment musically, Lance Prince is another New Jersey artist worth keeping an eye on.
